Thanks.
I too don't really relish driving for DSST's. I wasn't aware of this course, and with the exception of figuring out how to talk for 8-9 minutes uninterrupted, I think the rest sounds reasonable. Soon as I knock out Comp. I I think this may be next.

Is there a poctored final for this course?

Yes, but it's a piece of cake. Your goal is to secure over 700 score in quizzes running up to final so you don't have to worry about it whole lot. In any case it is doable in a week.

The final on this course is only worth 150, not 250-300 like most of them. If you've managed an 83 or better for the course up until the final (which is terribly easy), you'll pass no matter what. This is also one of the finals that is still open book / open note.

Mine sometimes took over a week to be graded, usually 2-3 days if I remember. I don't *think* your subscription expiring will prevent them from being graded, so long as they've been submitted, but you can always contact them and ask.

I have had work graded after my monthly SL membership expired. I still received the credit, but at least once, I was unable to see any feedback on how I did -- I only knew that I had passed and the score.
