Unproctored. 1 hour time limit. This unit test is factored into your final grade. After all the units, there's a final exam. It is 50 questions. Unproctored. 2 hour time limit.
If you fail any test or just want to go for a higher grade, you can do it at any time. One caveat to this however is that you can only retake each test once. So if you aren't happy with the 2nd score, you're stuck with it. Also, you don't keep your highest. If you opt to retake a test and you get lower than the first attempt, youre stuck with the lower grade.
I liked the way Shmoop writes out their material. I'm still working on my $25 a month membership, so its a great value. Even the new $87 is good if you can get through the classes quickly. US History 1 was MUCH easier than US history 2. The gilded age kicked my ass.
Thank you very much for your input. I think this will be the route I will go. The un-proctored part was my main concern, not because I want to be able to look up the answers but because I want to be able to make progress while at work. I have a pretty unique job and I get pockets of down time so this will fill that in great.
