English Comp I & II questions - rachel83az - 06-12-2020
Can someone who has taken these at Sophia confirm how many points each of the touchstones can be worth?
For Eng. Composition I, I have:
1 = 50
2 = 50
3 = 10
Are 4 and 5 also worth 50 points? And what about II? I haven't started that one yet but I would like to know ahead of time just how much each touchstone is worth.

Touchstone implies Sophia courses (for benefit of those reading this in the future who don't realize).
I think you can open those at any time in your course and see the information. Or I was able to do that when I took English Comp 1. Number 4 is 90 points (it is revision of number 3 so together they are 100 points total). Number 5 is 100 points. I haven't done Eng Comp 2 to help on that.

For Eng II there are 7 touchstones:
T 1.1 = 50
T 1.2 = 50
T 2.1 = 50
T 2.2 = 50
T 3.1 = 50
T 3.2 = 100
T 4 = 150

Ah, you're right. I hadn't noticed that/forgot. I was looking in the score report and those are blank. I also changed original post to reflect that I meant Sophia.

Thanks! That helps a lot.
