  • DUKES & DUCHESSES Recruitment
    DUKES & DUCHESSES Recruitment 2019 Test Study Guide & History Manual As of January 1, 2019 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 Duke administration. These questions ensure a capable grasp of the names and titles of the leadership of our University. Part II focuses on the history of Duke as outlined in this guide. These questions are factual and require an extensive knowledge of the information, including but not limited to important historical events, information about past presidents, and developments in facilities. Part III is on current events, both here at Duke and outside of our community. This section is crucial to the ability of a D&D to engage in intelligent, meaningful conversation with guests on campus who enjoy chatting with undergraduates about the events in the world. Questions in this section pertaining to Duke ​ ​ are liable to stretch to the early 2000s, while general questions not pertaining to Duke will be more recent, in the past year or so. Much of the information in this section about Duke can be found in this guide, although we advise that you read The Chronicle and study general events through external sources. Part IV contains questions about Duke data and facts, all of which can be found in this packet. Having a firm understanding of the statistics supporting our university further smooths interactions at events, and ensures that applicants have taken time to browse this guide.
