Study.com scoring? - BingCherry - 03-16-2017
I read around the forum and see that the pass/fail for the course is the chapter quizzes + the final exam.
What about the chapter tests, do those count? Should I retake them to make a 100%, or only just the quizzes?

Chapter tests do not count towards your grade - just the quizzes and final (and any essays, projects, etc, the course may have). Also, your first 3 quiz attempts are the only ones that count, so it's important to get 100% on each of them within 3 tries.

Most of the courses are broken down to 1/3 points for quizzes and 2/3 points for final examine (except for courses with written assignment, always check syllabus). To pass you need a score of 70 or more. If you get 100% on quizzes, you just need 55 on the final examine. With the new updates, it tells you how much you need to score after you finish the quizzes.
Also a small tip, since they recently modified the quizzes so that you only get 3 attempts. To make sure you score 100% on your quizzes, when you do the quizzes (this only work with the website not the app) you can always double check your answers when you scroll down and click on the worksheet and print out the answer. It just pop up a tab, it doesn't actually print out anything.
