      <body>&lt;p&gt;All new providers on Elance must take and pass a basic admissions test in order to place proposals and have their profile listed in search results.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The admissions test covers the concepts found on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elance.com/p/elanceuniversity/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Elance University &lt;/a&gt;web pages, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://help.elance.com/forums/30971/entries/34157&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Provider Guide&lt;/a&gt;, our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elance.com/p/help/tos/index.html&quot;&gt;Terms of Service&lt;/a&gt;, and the general help section.&amp;nbsp; To take the test, go to the skills section of your profile page or when prompted when creating your profile.&amp;nbsp; The purpose of the test is to ensure providers have taken the time to understand how Elance works before engaging with potential clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To pass the admissions test, providers must correctly answer 80% of the questions.&amp;nbsp; You can retake the test a maximum of&amp;nbsp;3&amp;nbsp;times and there is a&amp;nbsp;1 hour waiting period between test retakes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the following statuses will appear next to the&amp;nbsp;admissions test on a provider's profile:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Passed:&amp;nbsp; The provider has taken and passed the Elance admissions test.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not Yet Passed:&amp;nbsp; The provider has not yet passed the admissions test.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not Required: The provider is not required to take the admissions test since they were an active provider before the admissions test was required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</body>
