Spring 2020 PIE moving online
|
Due to the extension of remote learning at Iowa State University, the Poynter Institute Exam (PIE) will be offered online for the rest of the spring 2020 semester. Students will no longer come into Hamilton Hall on the designated testing days. Instead, students will take the PIE through the Poynter Institute website on their own time from any computer with Internet access. Students will have until 4 p.m. CDT Friday, May 1, 2020, to use their 5 attempts at the test. Passing requires a score of at least 78% (117 questions right out of 150).
Students who have already taken the exam will have those attempts count toward their total. For example, if a student already took the exam twice in person for spring 2020, they would have three more attempts to complete online.
