That's the way I do it - if I get to the final and I have 680 points or more, I just click through. If you answer B on everything you're bound to get at least 25%... right? When I tell the proctor I'm finished after 5 minutes, you can tell they're not prepared!
I check the scoring weights on the syllabus closely before I begin each SL course, it's nice to know exactly what to expect every step of the way.
Also be sure to remember they don't care what order you take everything in. I was doing really well in Intro to Communications which involves 3 recorded speeches. I'm much better at tests than speeches so I took the final exam first. When I had enough points to skip my last presentation, I did!

I am doing that right now, and going to take the final two days from now, I haven't done any speech yet, but I am doing the same thing to see how much points I need from my speech. However I tough the speech are required, how did you skip it and get the course complete?

This is a great question. When I asked StraighterLine to bypass one of my written papers for Comp II, I was flat-out denied. I can't imagine a major speech would be waived for any reason.
