FYI Study.com - Q&A: Failing a college accelerator class

[bjcheung77]

Just looking for some options to upper level credits and ACP providers
So, I was looking into Study.com options and couldn't find the answer in their FAQ.
I emailed them about failing a college accelerator class and their response below.


Thank you for reaching out to us! That's a great question!

Yes, you are able to retake an exam if you do not pass it. There is a 3 day wait period for a retake. However, please note that the retake will count towards the total of 2 permitted exams every 30 days. So, you are welcome to take an exam for 1 course twice within a 30 day period. Or, you can take 1 exam for 2 different courses within a 30 day period. Either way, the exam total is 2.

Hypothetically, lets say I take Biology 101, and I fail the first time. I can retake that exam in 3 days. When I retake Biology 101, that uses the 2 exams I have for that 30 day period. If I also want to take the Psychology 101 exam, I would need to wait until 30 days after I took the first exam to be eligible .

It is a recurring monthly membership, so you would only be charged for the next month of membership if you do not cancel the account. It can be cancelled at anytime, but you will need to have an active account at the time that you take an exam.

I hope this provides some clarification.
