Adding to original post.....
Upon a PM from another member and rereading the proctored exam requirements...you are required to pass the PENN FOSTER proctored test with at least a 70. If you fail the first time, you can try a second.
The Technical Math I format has been very straightforward. On the 25-30 question final, I'm expecting to see questions on each section ranging from basic to difficult. If I can ace the 3 easy sections and half of the questions for the harder 3, then that would put me in a position to pass.
Since the final is OPEN BOOK, and the sections are free of fluff, then if you mark and reference each section before the final, you SHOULD be able to quickly reference similar problems to see how the problems are worked out. I did this already while completing the section work, so I think that this is key. In other words, if you are stumped, you look up a similar example in the books and follow that formula to figure the problem.
My theory is know everything about the easy 3 sections of the course, know the easier portions of the 3 Algebra sections and know how to quickly look up similar examples in the harder sections. Like so many of the DANTES and CLEP exams, I will immediately skip difficult questions and concentrate on those that are easily solvable, then go back and tackle the hard ones on the second go round.
I'm still waiting for the proctored exam, so I'll keep you posted.
