Straighterline - What to do about a fail?

[cookderosa]

Philosophy is, I believe, the only SL course where you mathematically can't pass the course without passing the final. As suggested, you could for sure go in and print off your prior exams - they are open book *technically* so by having your notes with you as you retake should help. Assuming the test bank doesn't change much other than shuffling, you should be able to catch a lot of duplicates. Also, these duplicates will also be on the final. I think you could get all these printed off and on hand - you'd have zillions of questions to help you through.

If you can get a coupon for a retake, that would be my strategy because you already have access to the questions. If you can't, then DUMP THIS CLASS and move onto one of the many that have a final worth only 20-30% of your grade.

The last time I made a list was over a year ago, but here it is- I think it's mostly still accurate, but double check before you dive in. I generally hate to link you to content, so I copied/pasted, however it's pretty scrambled- so here is my table: https://homeschoolingforcollegecredit.co...t-to-take/
