With regard to ALL Police Science Institute Courses and Programs, all Lessons are followed by periodic achievement examinations.

Each such examination maintains a perfect score of One Hundred (100) points. Our “grading scale” is as follows:

A student who scores below Seventy (70) points on any respective examination will be instructed and required to complete another examination with specific regard to that Lesson. Upon passing the second examination, the average grade of the Two (2) examinations as combined will be recorded and entered as the student's “final” grade for that particular Lesson.
