To prepare for a Proctored Exam in the MicroMasters program in Finance (MMFin), we recommend you review the material for each of your relevant courses, including all Graded Problem Sets and exams. See below for more details.
Once you are enrolled in a course with a Proctored Exam, you will be notified on the home page of your courseware, and an Onboarding Exam will become available to you after the start of the course.
Note: In the past, a Proctored Exam was present at the end of every MMfin course. Starting with Foundations of Modern Finance I in September 2023, however, most MMFin learners will take only one Proctored Exam—the Comprehensive Final Exam—after they have earned the Course Certificates for all five MMFin Content Courses.
However, some learners who had already completed part of the MMFin program when the Comprehensive Final was introduced may opt to take a Proctored Exam at the end of each of their remaining MMFin Content Courses instead of completing the Comprehensive Final Exam. All such eligible learners should have received one or more notification emails from the MMFin team in August-September 2023. For more information, please refer to the Important Program Updates section of the MMFin Program Page, and/or refer to the Program Updates FAQ article.
