So this is a common question that comes up every now and again with the capstone. You have completed your comp-exam permission form (aka Capstone-Exam RSVP), you have been studying hard, but on the day of the exam you decide that maybe you are not ready. What to do?
I know that the capstone can be stress inducing, I've been there :) One of the things that we tell our students is that it is possible to not take the comps, even if you signed up for them! If you don't feel confident on the day of the exam, it's still OK to back out and take them in a subsequent semester! Do not feel pressured to come and take the exam if you don't feel adequately prepared; or if something has happened in your personal lives that is draining away your concentration.
If you do decide to not take the exam, please email us at applied.linguistics@umb.edu and let us know. This way we can sign you up for the program fee which maintains you as an active student and allows you to take the exam in a subsequent semester.
