UMPI - BA in Accounting plan
#31
So I'm currently doing 2 Sophia courses/week. UMPI Application deadline is Jan 3, 2022. From Sophia, there are 7 remaining courses. When I'm done with the Sophia courses, I will have ~12 days to complete all of the IC and SDC courses. Since I'm running out of time, I'll speed up the process a little bit and I'll try to devote two additional hours of studying everyday and start doing a course either from SDC or IC, because I don't think I'll be able to complete Bio 101, American Government and Spanish 1 in 12 days.

Of the InstantCert courses (American Government, Spanish 1) and SDC's (Biology 101L), which course should I prioritize? Or, actually, which one of the two websites (IC, SDC) takes them longer to provide the transcript/results? I'll decide based on this instead.

I also need to take the ONU Intro to Statistics, but since this course is not offered at YourPace, and according to freeloader's experience, I hopefully won't face any problems trying to transfer it after applying. So I'll be doing this course last - after applying, between 1/3/2021 (application deadline day) and 1/18/2021 (the day the YourPace classes start).

Prioritize BIO-101L. American Government at UMPI is completely doable if you don't transfer it in. The same can't really be said of UMPI's science class.

You don't need ONU's stats class. You can take Introduction to Stats on Sophia. Once you're accepted you'll need permission from your advisor to transfer credits in from outside of UMPI. They'll want all of your transcripts when you apply since you'll be applying at the last minute.

Okay, I will prioritize BIO. I won't take statistics for UMPI, but to meet the prerequisites for grad school. Do you guys know who is faster at providing the transcript after having completed the exam, SDC or IC?

Also, for SDC BIO, should I keep notes, or are the practice exams enough for the finals? What was your strategy? I'd appreciate any tips!

Thank you!

I think that IC is usually faster than SDC, but not by much. For both, you should have the course added to your Credly transcript within 5-7 business days.

With SDC, you rarely have to even think about the final exam. You need 210 points out of 300 to pass a SDC course. 100 points are available with the quizzes, 100 with the lab, 100 with the final exam. If you get 99 with the quizzes (there is/was a bug where people were reporting that they couldn't get 100% even though they answered everything correctly) and 70 on the lab (most people seem to get 80-90), you only need to get 32% on the final exam to pass. If you can get 95 on the lab, you'd only need about 17% on the final to pass. Some people do still struggle with this, but you probably don't need notes unless you find the course content to be especially difficult for you.

I see. I also wanted to ask, since I'll be paying 200$ for SDC, is American Government worth doing there? I don't mind paying the extra 20$ at IntantCert, but I prefer which one is faster.

Since you're already paying $200 for the biology, you might as well at least attempt American Government there. It's 100 points to quizzes (again, easy) and 200 points for the final exam, for that course. So, if you get 100 on the quizzes, you only need to get 112 points from the exam, or 56%. IC is just one single exam.

Yes, I'd do this.  It certainly can't hurt, but I can't imagine that you won't be able to pass.  You're already paying for it, you might as well take it there.

How many courses are you going to be taking in total at ICC and Study.com? I would max out on the credits for each, ICC is $20/course and $15/exam proctoring, Study.com is $200/month for 2 exams, each additional exam is $70, a max of 5/month. Just make sure you have enough credits for transfer, if you're overboard it won't really matter, you will need 30 credits at UMPI...

All Sophia and Biology done! Two courses left, American Government and Spanish 1 from IC. UMPI application deadline is January 3. Can I make it by then? Please note that I don't speak Spanish and my level is 0. Does anyone know how long does it take for IC to deliver the transcripts to the institution from the day I take the exam?

Thanks
