Discrete Math ACE credit course
#11
Restart a different account with another email address or find the course elsewhere.
There is no reason for their limits, not for $199 per month.
Why would they not reset?
What do they gain?
I am only testing 1 month at $60 but pretty sure I won't continue with them, I will take all the courses elsewhere because it is an odd platform.

I wish someone buys the business and restructures all the pricing/limits, for the content they have which is good they could make lots of money removing the membership and pricing courses low cost.

The fact they don't is very odd.

Some say the fact study.com doesn't fix their thumbnails is a red flag of a non legit website. (Stretched, blurry pictures)

Well, I think I'll just skip the discrete math. I'll be required to take a few RA classes anyways... so let Discrete Math be one of RA courses at my university. Also, my current university requires 200-level Discrete Math so it could be that study.com's 100-level Discrete Math may not transfer.

If you set up a new account, their T&C state that they might revoke any and all credits that you've earned from them. So, even if nomaduser passes, they might not get credit. I wouldn't risk it. Do more studying and take the exam when you're more sure of being able to get a good score. 

Here are some quizzes/exams to practice with:
https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs203/refs.html
https://math.berkeley.edu/~bernd/math55.html
https://www.math.utah.edu/~ciubo/2200/
https://trevtutor.com/discretemath/discretemath1/

You have 3 tries to take the exam. If you've used 1, you've got 2 more. You can do this, nomaduser!

How will he pass it if he can't retake the course?

He said he already failed the exam.

I already alerted my credit card to stop all further payments to study.com.They won't get one more cent.

Not being able to retake a course is a deal breaker. My money, my choice, they don't even explain these limits. It is too shady.

Yeah, they should let me retake the course from start after I fail the exams. Too bad they don't allow this.
I'm not even sure if their Discrete Math course will transfer. Their Discrete Math is 100-level but most of online computer science degree courses require 200+ level Discrete Math so maybe it's best to take Discrete Math through online degree programs.

Surely the oddest version of alternative credit I ever encountered.

Was doing some reading and some articles say they do this so students are forced to take the UL courses at the college they are enrolled at.

It surely works lol as it is hard to find some of the courses and I need to establish residency, either way the college gets the money.

I was really hoping to like study.com as I was considering it only for my UL courses.

But I guess TESU is the way to go for me. Makes more sense financially at this point.
6 UL courses left and Capstone.

You get to retake the exam twice. It's not just once and you fail forever. With more study, the course can be passed.

If for some reason you're not successful on your first attempt to pass a proctored exam, you can retake it again in 3 days. The College Accelerator Edition includes 5 exams per billing cycle. You can also purchase additional exams to take within that time period.
Each exam can be taken a total of 3 times.

Are the 5 exams per billing cycle free? They said 2 free and any additional 3 at $70 per exam and no more than 5 per month. Huh

The first 2 are free. If you take 5 in one month, the total that you get charged is $410.

Ok the following wasn't clear as the last phrase indicates more than 5:
The College Accelerator Edition includes 5 exams per billing cycle. You can also purchase additional exams to take within that time period.

Each exam can be taken a total of 3 times.

Also you said exam can be taken twice.



Also the word 'includes' should mean it is included in $199 price instead they start charging $70 on the third one (correct me if I am wrong)
