Skipping The Test Year

Skipping The Test Year

This article is intended for instructors.
This article is for Entrepreneurship, Management and Marketing simulations.

When configuring the options in a Simulation, the instructor has the choice for students to begin the Simulation at either a Test Year or directly from Year 1. This allows instructors to have more flexibility in organizing their course plan when using the Simulation.

IdeaTo learn more about the Test Year, see here.


By default, the Simulation begins in the Test Year.

In the Team Version, you can choose to start at Year 1 instead - but only before a company has been created by a student or instructor. Once a company is created, the simulation generates all financial data starting from the initial year, and this setting can no longer be changed.

In the Solo Version, the option to switch to Year 1 remains available at any time.

 

To skip the Test Year, you must uncheck the box in the Planner Settings:
