Question 4 of 13

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Students that apply via responding to a call at a BEST mailing list, are not included in the three-season rule, since their extra-acceptance is not done through BAS. ( False, True )
For BEST Courses on Career-Related Skills, it is okay to accept non-technology students, since the content is more appropriate for them. ( False, True )
LBGs that have Mentors can skip the communication with the Season Coordinator. ( False, True )
Events on Education have their own Season Deadlines, that are announced by Educational Involvement Department. ( False, True )
The attendance list can only be filled in once, at most two weeks after the event has ended, and cannot be changed after that. ( True, False )

Explanation

Question 5 of 13

1

Confirmation period ends for (a season that has only) BEST Courses and Events on Education, and although the organising LBG accepted 24 participants, only 21 accepted. Choose the correct answer about what can happen next.

Select one of the following:

It's okay, at least almost everyone accepted and there are 21 participants. But the LBG has the responsibility at most two weeks after the course, to provide the attendance list with the participation status of the 3 participants who did not confirm as 'Not Participated'.
The LBG has to go through extra-acceptance, so inevitably sends a call for extras to BEST mailing lists, and has one week to accept at least one more participant. if any of those extra-accepted participants does not confirm or cancel after the confirmation deadline has passed, the LBG is required to keep looking for someone else, until they have 22 participants.
The LBG has one month to choose at least one participant from the WL to extra-accept. If any of those extra-accepted participants does not confirm or cancel after the confirmation deadline has passed, the LBG can look for someone else but does not have to do so.
The LBG has to extra-accept in the next 10 days. They can choose someone from the Waiting List, or send a call to BEST mailing lists and/or external students for extras, in order to accept at least one more participant. If any of those extra-accepted participants does not confirm or cancel after the confirmation deadline has passed, the LBG can look for someone else but does not have to do so.
There is no problem, but In case there are budget problems, the LBG can avoid extra-acceptance and stick to the 21 participants, or try to extra-accept in the next 10 days from the Waiting List an applicant from a country of Category 1.

Explanation

Question 6 of 13

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

An LBG wants to change something on the announcement page, and realises it after the announcement deadline. So, they contact the ( Season Coordinator, Vivaldi Coordinator, IT Department, Helpdesk Coordinator, Mentor, President of the LBG, International Board, one and only Mr. Robot, Mentors' Coordinator ), who can edit it until the ( Application, Confirmation, Course, Optimisation, Extra-Acceptance ) Period starts. Also, the event's title contains inappropriate wordings and references to ( sex, drug, alcohol, people who are dead, the law, companies, makeup, martial arts ), which damaged the public image of BEST, and also has to be changed. They included ( a survival guide, their event's webpage, a survival guide, their event's budget, their event's webpage, a welcome video, a survival guide, link to their fb page, their event's webpage, a shopping guide ), and the schedule, however since it is a ( Leisure, Non-Optimised, Pineapple, Technological, BEST ) Event that has a ( fee, Mentor, unique location, hundred participants, freedom ), they should also provide a list of all the ( activities, people, locations ) included in the fee and their ( duration in total, and, cost in total, and, order, and preference ) per participant.

Question 8 of 13

1

There is a case of two repeatedly misbehaving participants, who do not respect neither the organisers and the participants' responsibilities, nor the rest of the participants. What is going to happen to them?

Select one of the following:

Since they have paid their fee, we cannot force them to do anything, BEST is a very respectful organisation. Maybe have a talk with them and explain that they are not experiencing the whole BEST experience this way, and they will hopefully understand. :)
The Main Organiser should consult with the local Board and the Mentor, and decide whether one of them, or both, will be expelled.
Vivaldi Department should be contacted as soon as the situation arises, then the Department can decide whether or not the participants will be expelled.
The Main Organiser can flip a coin. Each side represents a participant; heads stays tails gets expelles.

Select one or more of the following:

Go to a cantus with her
Call her if you feel like you have messed up with the LBG you mentor

Explanation

Question 11 of 13

1

3 days before the end of the event, the teacher cancels a 5-hour session. The course is only 7 days, so the LBG had 20 working hours scheduled. They have already created and printed the CIFs with the names. What do you do?

Select one of the following:

Even with the 5-hour session missing, there are still 15 hours, so tell them it's okay, and the CIFs can still be given to the participants.
Suggest that the organisers organise an alternative session themselves, so that the hours be met.
Prompt them to inform the Season Coordinator immediately, and actively seek for a replacement. Also, the CIFs have to be modified, because of the change in the hours and the teacher, even in case of a replacement. If that becomes the reason for a delay in CIFs delivery, the situation can be discussed with the Season Coordinator.
The LBG can make a call for BEST trainers to fill in the hours, since it is very possible that with your help, you can find one fast. Also, edit their CIFs properly, so that they have the correct versions by the end of the event, otherwise the event will not get stamped, since CIF delivery before course is something undebatable.
