About this event
Agribusiness applies business principles to the agriculture industry, covering safety and regulations, agribusiness economics, operations and management, finance and marketing, business law and ethics, and natural resources. How it runs: this is an individual objective test and nothing else. You take a proctored, online test of 100 multiple-choice questions in 50 minutes. Study materials are not allowed, and a calculator is built into the testing platform. Each correct answer is worth one point with no penalty for wrong answers, and your test score is your result.
