So much for the whole study.com thing.

I was being serious, but cynical. As a subscription based business, it makes sense for them to delay score reporting, because the more they can slow you down -- the longer you'll be a subscriber paying your monthly dues. I did not mean to imply there is an actual technical reason -- there isn't one.

Quote:SL, Saylor, Aleks, Teex, Institute, etc are all able to tell you your score right away. Why is study.com not able to add this simple feature into their tests.

They are able to, they just don't seem to want to, and the profit motive is the only reason I can come up with. Saylor & TEEX are free, so they don't have the same motive. SL is subscription based but you also pay per-course.

Quote:I am not a programmer, but I imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to code the ability in. Especially since the pretest and chapter exams tell you your score right away.

I'm sure it's not difficult. It's already there, just not being shown. They've recorded your answers, and thus know your score, as soon as you've submitted the exam. They are choosing to not display it until after the video review.
