Detailed Instructions

EXAM CONFIGURATION
  Comp-XM is similar to Capstone. Here you would run a business (simpler and
miniaturized as compared to Capstone) of your own, individually as the CEO.
Please refer to the exam guide (pdf document)
 In your exam, you run a business (like we did on Capstone) but for four rounds
(i.e., four financial years). The business decisions for the four years are made
on the Comp-XM spreadsheet.
EXAM STRUCTURE

The Exam Follows the Following Sequence. After Going to The Capsim > Comp-Xm > Exam
Dashboard:
· Make decisions on Round 1 on Comp-XM (this is similar to Capstone). Then
answer the Board Queries 1 (questions pertaining to your business). Then turn

Capstone Courier is the Comp-XM Enquirer. This, again is available on the
exam dashboard.

Then turn in Round 2 and advance to Round 3.

 Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the exam structure. Having gone through
so many rounds of Capstone, you should find no problems.
 Download the Exam Guide from the "Getting Set Up" page before the exam.
 Then, launch the Comp-XM software (you can only log in on Comp-XM after the
exam start time above). In Comp-XM, you are all part of the Andrews
Corporation (irrespective of your teams). You would see The Enquirer for round

Enquirer for round 0, you shall make decisions in the Comp-XM software for
round 1 and then answer Board Queries 1 on www.capsim.com under Exam
Dashboard. Then based on the Enquirer for Round 1, make decisions for Round
2 on Comp-XM and so on.
 Please make sure you turn in Comp-XM submissions before the deadline.

1. Total points earned from the Balanced Scorecard (simulation): 500
