Preparing for the PPC Readiness Assessment

To ensure you are fully prepared for the Projects, Problems, and Cases (PPC) Readiness Assessment, we’ve got a few important tips and details to guide you. Let's get you ready to succeed!

Before diving into the assessment, we highly recommend that you watch the PPC Guide video. This video covers essential details about the assessment, including general guidelines, key topics to expect, and helpful tips for answering the questions. It’s an invaluable resource to familiarize yourself with the test format and expectations.

PPC Assessment 

The PPC Readiness Assessment will be conducted through EnrollMate, our online platform. Simply log in to your EnrollMate account and click on the 'Take the PPC Assessment' button to begin. Once you finish, don't forget to click the 'Submit' button to ensure your responses are properly recorded.

Time Commitment

The assessment will take around two (2) hours to complete. It’s important to plan ahead and make sure you have enough uninterrupted time to finish. We recommend finding a quiet, distraction-free space to take the test.

Availability and Access

You can take the PPC Readiness Assessment at your convenience. However, we encourage you to complete it within 24 hours upon starting the assessment to avoid delays and proceed with the next steps of your application and enrollment.

Please note: The assessment can only be taken once, so make sure you are prepared before starting.

Once you submit your assessment, your results will be available immediately. You will also receive a copy of your results via email for your reference. This immediate feedback will help you gauge your readiness for the PPC learning model.

We encourage you to take your time, carefully consider each question, and answer honestly based on your own understanding and experience. Please complete the assessment independently and avoid using AI tools or external assistance, as your genuine responses will provide a clearer picture of your readiness for the PPC approach and MMDC’s dynamic learning environment.

PPC Assessment Probable Outcomes

Based on your performance, your results will fall into one of the following categories:

Full Compatibility

• If your score is 60% or higher in all areas, you are fully prepared for the PPC Learning Model. You’re ready to proceed with your enrollment at MMDC without any additional requirements.

Conditional Compatibility

• If any of your assessment areas fall below 60%, you will be required to take remedial courses to help ease your transition into the PPC Learning Model. These courses are specifically designed to strengthen your skills in the areas that need improvement. Based on your scores, you may need to enroll in one or both of the following courses:
