2017 TCM Training Assessment

Welcome to the 2017 Troop Cookie Manager (TCM) Training Assessment.

You should have taken the training on texascookietime.org and are encouraged to reference the TCM Guide (texascookietime.org/tcmguide) as each question will refer to page numbers.

In order to be added to eBudde, you will have to pass the assessment with a score of at least 85% (you can only get two questions wrong). You can go back and forth through the assessment up until you click submit.

You will receive an email at the end of the survey indicating whether you passed or failed. If you fail (less than 85%, you will need to retake this assessment), this email is for your records, please do not forward it to GSNETX.

If you pass, you will be directed to the TCM Agreement at the end of the assessment - please complete the agreement only if you have not already done so.

If you fail, you will be directed to restart the assessment.

To be added into eBudde, you must:
1. Pass the TCM Assessment (85% or higher)
2. Submit the online TCM Agreement (texascookietime.org/tcm)

GSNETX adds TCMs into eBudde (based on completion of steps 1 & 2) Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Good luck!
