Study.com - Question, can you retake a course multiple times?
#1
Hey all...  Someone asked a question and I wanted to verify before answering...

I know people retake the course to get a pass if they have failed.  How many times can you repeat the course?

I understand that there will be a fee for each final exam.  The student asking just wants to know.  Thanks,

I had thought all you can do is take the final up to 3 times and turn in assignments up to 3 times.

I never heard of them resetting a course. 

The downside is if you messed up and scored low on the quizzes, you could screw yourself by making it hard to pass the course.

I didn't think you could retake a Study.com class. If you fail you fail I thought.

I've never failed a Study.com course, but I remember someone failing the Financial Management course and I told them to re-take it, they then passed. I am thinking that is the only way to get a new exam, is to "fail" and have the course reset as you need to re-do the course. But not 100% sure if that is the case, there is always a recommendation of taking a "different" course that can transfer in, but that's another option I'm not going to tell them about yet. I think re-doing the course would be easier as they'll be familiar with the course already, just need that extra 'oomph' to pass it...

There was this instance of someone who claimed they already expended their 3 tries on quizzes and tests and said they weren't allowed to restart.

Yes, that's the one I remember.  That person would have passed the course if he/she had a higher score on the quizzes. They usually give you the answers to the quizzes or they show you exactly in the video where the answer is.  Sometimes there are a few questions you have to figure out on your own though you should always be able to at least average 95% on the quizzes.

Keep the tab open to your previous quiz so you don't guess the same wrong answer twice in a row, you get up to 3 tries.

Agreed, no excuse not to finish a class with 95-100% on the quizzes if you think you'll struggle on the final.
