I did yes. Honestly I've been doing my own taxes since I was 15 so there's a lot of bias.
I took all of the quizzes and got 80-100 on my first try on them all. So I whipped through it all in about 10 hours from start to finish with like 1 bathroom break.
The content was definitely on the 100 level side. I'm sure if you went for it you could pass the final without much trouble if you do well on the quizzes.

Yes the content is pretty basic and I’m scoring mostly 100s minus a few 80s. I just wasn’t sure how quickly you went through it. I’m just reading the transcripts as well. Did they give you a tentative score after your proctored final?
What courses did you now start?

Yes, you will see your score after the proctored final. It just doesn't become official until the proctor session has been reviewed and approved.

Thank you! And also, from all the people who have taken study.com courses, is the proctored final exam questions based on the quiz questions? Or more so the chapter test questions?

I would say mostly the chapter test questions(which are often based on the quiz questions). For the 2 classes I have done so far, I took 3 practice finals leading up to the proctored final and my final grade was within the average range of my practice finals.

approximately 3 weeks to get my response to my scholarship app if anyone is wondering about time frames right now.

Do you have to have a passing grade on the personal finance course in order to keep the scholarship?

Yes, I believe you do. That is the primary reason for the scholarship after all. Technically, the scholarship is meant to give you 3 months to finish that single course. If you manage to do so with a single exam, then you are free to take other courses as well until the scholarship expires. At least that is how my advisor explained it to me. This is also why you're not allowed to start other courses until you complete the Personal Finance one.
You get 2 exams per month as part of the scholarship, so if you fail the first attempt at a final exam you can study up and try again after waiting 3 days.

Yeah, I thought that would the case. I have two study.com courses to take, but I need to pass them by the end of April, so the scholarship is not gonna work out. I'll sign up through TESU for a discount though.
