DUKES & DUCHESSES Recruitment 2016 Test Study Guide (As of January 27, 2016) A note about the test: The D&D test is intended to assess your familiarity of Duke University, its history, and current events around the world, as we desire candidates that can speak knowledgeably with University leaders and campus guests. The test consists of two parts: Part I covers the history of Duke as outlined in this packet. These questions are factual and require an extensive knowledge of the information – we suggest that you study well in advance. Part II is a general knowledge section. It will cover current events here at Duke, in the Durham community, and around the world. Though there is no specific way to study for this section, it is suggested that you read The Chronicle regularly and stay informed on current events in the news, especially in the weeks leading up to the exam.
