Study.com Personal Finance- waiting on proctor approval - StoicJ - 05-06-2017

I got a Guardian Scholarship 5/1. Took the Personal Finance exam 5/3. It's 5/6 right now, and I am really wanting to take the World Religions exam so I can move on to other things..... but Personal Finance is still "Pending". I am confident I passed, just never know if something will kick out the proctored exam. Do you think I should just take the religion exam now and be done with it, or wait til personal finance is approved?

What do you mean proctor approval, have you taken the final exam? If so, add it to ACE and move on. That's what I did and when it showed up on ACE, I knew I passed. The final exam should have been graded instantly and if you only needed the 56% or so you would have known. With them using remote proctor I don't think you wait on a proctor so unsure of what to mean here.

Once you've taken the Personal Finance exam you can move right on to the next course. Do Not Wait for the Pending to become Passed, as it can take a few days up to two weeks. You have completed the Scholarship requirement.

Also as tsimmns said, add it to your ACE now - this way you won't forget it. It will get posted to ACE as approved the same day it moves from Pending to Passed with Study.com

Wow, I was lucky I saw this posted... Thanks guys, I was "waiting" as I didn't know.
I got the scholarship the same day! Good work! Thanks everyone.

Study.com's approval time is very fast, usually within 1-2 bus days for the multiple choice finals. Maybe something went wrong with the proctoring software; room scan, ID? Try calling Study.com's Customer Success team, available Monday-Friday 8am-5pm PST at 1-877-266-4919; they're very helpful. You could also email the rep who sent you the welcome letter.

But you don't have to wait for exam grade, just enroll in the next course and start work!

I was in the same predicament. Contacted support and they said:

Quote:Hi,

Just so everyone knows, nothing will kick out your exam. I was taking an exam and got to question #81. My power kicked out so obviously I wasn't able to finish or send in my exam. When I called them immediately, the guy on the phone said not to worry and that he would wait until it was graded to see if I passed before giving me another attempt. So even though I didn't even send in my exam and it was cut short, Study.com still had the results to the point I was at in their system.

OK, I just finished World Religion. Only got an 80 on the final, but I did shoot through the material pretty fast. Submitted it and Personal Finance to ACE so they're "Pending" on there as well.

Now I can just focus on TECEP Strategic Management for the next couple of weeks (my textbook arrived on my doorstep as I typed this) ! Thank y'all for easing my concerns Smile

Yes, result showed as a 90 or something, so I knew I'd passed the course. Shows as "Pending" on Study.com, and I figured it would take anywhere from a day to a week or so to switch to "Passed" or whatever. Just started doing the online proctored exams very recently, so still have that feeling like some glitch is gonna sink my efforts :p

Me too. I feel they'll come up with some reason that the room scan is not good enough, when I start doing ProctorU exams. I am less worried with RPNow. I'm keeping my eyes on the monitor, in case that helps. For a longer test, I would want to close my eyes briefly, because I have eye issues, but I'm scared to!
