Documenting My Son's WGU Experience
#48
Thorne Wrote:Ouch. I have got enough Excel experience to make an inventory sheet, so I'm starting at the same place he did. One guy I spoke with said that the pre-assessment and the objective assessment are very similar, with only the numbers being changed, but I'm not certain if I buy that.

I'll be sure to share his thoughts and experiences with both assessments. He's just terrified right now because he thinks it's going to be really hard and he's going to bomb it. He just passed the pre-assessment for Workforce Planning today, so once he knocks out the objective assessment I'm going to really push him to spend the rest of the week on Spreadsheets and get it over with.

Update to WGU's Scoring Policy - they no longer have cut scores, which my son is not happy about. They now have a little "meter" for each content area and you have to reach mastery in each content area to pass the pre-assessment. This is a brand new change, so I don't know much about it. I know when he took his pre-assessments earlier in the month he had a score and they wanted it to be 15 points above the cut score to unlock the final - now all of that is gone, and they want you to meet the "mastery" line on each content area bar in order to unlock the final.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
