I had just completed bombing my first exam when I wrote that and have gotten straight A's ever since in art. The music book was harder to navigate when you were taking the open book tests. I would consider them pretty similar in difficulty, only for me, art was a tiny bit easier because of the more usable index. I believe the book was smaller which makes the index smaller which makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
Thank you!! Could you also let me know if the Art has a proctored final or a final project or both?
Thanks!

Just wanted to add
My final exams were returned in the green postage paid envelope on Monday, August 16th. The consumer behavior exam posted yesterday, August 23 and financial management today, August 24. Their processing timeframe is amazing. Penn Foster receives double thumbs up from me.

Rickyjo, did you send your transcript direct from PF to EC? Just wondering because in another PF thread I thought you had mentioned only going through ACE and that it was Pass/Fail that way?
Bricabrac, did you have proctored tests for Financial Management and Consumer Behavior?
I just registered for the PF Music Appreciation and depending on how that goes I may checkout some other PF courses.
Thanks for the help!

Originally I did send it directly from PFC, I was going to try and convince them to take it raw because they seemed to know of it when I spoke to them before. It was just an attempt, when PFC failed to give the required information I gave up and just used ACE which has since successfully arrived at EC and been processed.

Hi, Yes both courses had proctored finals.
Financial Management - 5 online quizzes (20q @) and proctored final.
Consumer Behavior - 5 online quizzes (20-25q @) and proctored final. Consumer behavior also has 4 discussion forum questions. You only need provide brief answers (4-5 sentences); you are not required to respond to other students. The DF's are
not calculated in final grade, once submitted they are marked P/Pass.
I just ordered securities and investments and from what I can tell it's set up the same as consumer behavior - 5 quizzes, 4 DF's, proctored final. Just waiting for the books so I can get started!
