How Does Study.Com Proctored Tests Work and Study.Com Question?

[jamshid666]

Cheers,

Hi Mates. I Just STarted Finishing Up Some Study.Com Courses And I'm Going To Start Taking One Exam A Week Starting January 2nd. Are The Exams Exactly Like Straighterline.com Where There Is A Person Watching You The Entire Time on Proctor U And I Have To Pay $8 Per Exam?? Just Want To Know What I'm Getting Involved In.

It Looks Like I Need To Get 60% Or Greater On Each Exam To Pass The Courses. Would The Entitle To A lot Of Study Time In Your Opinion Of People What Have Taken Exams There Before?

Any Tips On Studying For the Exams? I Planned On Just STudying Their Flash Cards They Provide Within The Course.

Thanks For Any Tips. I'm Very Stressful.

Cheers Mates.

The questions on the tests are just like the questions on the quizzes, so if you did fine with those, you'll have no issues with the final.  Try taking the practice finals if you're really worried.  From the fact that you need a 60%, I'm guessing you didn't get 100% on all of the quizzes.  I tend to retake all of my quizzes until I get 100%.  This does two things: it helps me reinforce the knowledge on the questions I missed by making me rewatch the video or reread the transcripts to figure out what I answered incorrectly, and if you have 100% on all of the quizzes, you only need a 56% to pass the final.

In regards to extra costs, the College Accelerator program allows you to take two free exams per month.  If you want to take additional exams in a given month, it will cost you around $70 for each additional test you take. By the way, no one is actively watching you on the final exams, but they do record you. Since StraighterLine uses live proctors, you generally get your exam results immediately. Since Study.com doesn't use live proctors, it can take up to two weeks (though generally only 2-3 business days) for them to review the video recording to ensure you didn't cheat before they post your final grade.

Good luck!
