Straighterline Finals (need help understanding)

[Photog]

I was going to post a thread asking the same exact thing.

I am taking Accounting II and doing extremely well. It seems that SL's Accounting II contains a LOT of stuff you learn in DSST Principles Of Finance and DSST Principles Of Financial Accounting. I've taken both of those exams and got really high scores on both. That in combination with using the search function on the ebook has put me in a position where I really won't need any points on the final.

Considering Excelsior only grants "P" for passing regardless of grade, I'd much rather forgo cramming for the SL final and move on to studying for my next CLEP.

I want to clarify my grade on the final can be any grade as long as I have achieved 70% mastery in the total course so far?

Or here's a different wording question.

Has anyone gotten a low score on the proctored final but still passed using the overall mastery of 70%?

Thanks!

It is usually an overall mastery of 70%, yes you still need to take the proctored final exam, but getting a low score won't affect you passing.

You can see your course grade on the left under 'course completion status' something like this:

_______________________________________________
COURSE COMPLETION STATUS

Status: Complete

Your course completion is based on
1. completing all required assignments and
2. achieving a 70% in the course:

Required criteria Status

Course grade 94.5% (A grade of 70% is required)

Activity completion 6 of 6
____________________________________________________

Once you have over 70% (overall course grade) and all the activities are complete the 'Status:' changes from 'In Progress' to 'Complete'
If you have say 60% on your course grade before the final exam, then you only need to achieve the extra 10% to pass the course.


I am not sure it is the same for every course, I thought I read somewhere that Intro to Psych required a 70% on the final exam to pass, hopefully someone can confirm that.
