How to Study.com - Pancake123 - 01-07-2021
Greetings,
I'm currently taking my first Study.com course. Looking for a little crowdsourced help. I'm aware that the final is proctored with a thirdparty. For StraighterLine courses, I had to pre-schedule my proctored exam.
Does anyone know how it works with Study.com? I have to reach 100 credits with TESU, by the end of this month to be allowed to enroll in the Capstone and I'm a little anxious about having to wait to take this Study.com course final exam. I don't see any info on Study.com that walks a newbie like me through the process of taking the final exam.
Many thanks!

SDC uses RPNow. Essentially, it's asynchronous and you don't need to schedule a time slot. There's no live proctor, you record your test to their cloud servers whenever you want and they'll review it after the fact.

The first couple of times with RPNow can be a bit nerve-wracking but it's not that bad. You've got this!

If you can handle a StraighterLine proctored final exam, the Study.com proctored final exam is even easier! Just take it when you think you're ready, it doesn't use a person to monitor you in real time, it's recorded to be reviewed later. You still need to have a screenshot of your room and also picture id, but no other "person/proctor" to worry about, the system RPNow is so much better and easier to use too!

Thanks for all the encouragement folks! I made it through Straigherline's A&P and the A&P lab which included me in my basement full of tears dissecting the body parts of some poor unfortunate animals. This is such a relief.

Agreed. I've used them for 9 SDC classes, 2 ASU EA classes and an edX MicroBachelor's(probably a few others that I've forgotten already). Never had any issues.
