Yes SDC gives you an instant score at the end of your proctored final. CLEP doesn't have a corresponding project management or organizational psych test so it's hard to say how they would compare. The best way to make a test easier for any platform (clep, DSST, SDC, etc) is to adequately prepare by studying, reviewing, doing practice tests, etc.

Great, thank you. One last question, do the quiz grades factor into your final grade for credit granting purposes? In other words, does it make a difference if you get 80% on the quizzes for 100%?

Yes it makes a difference. If you only scored 80% on every single quiz that would contribute 80 points toward your total grade. If you aced every quiz it would contribute 100 points. The class grade total is 300 points. It makes sense to retake the quiz immediately to get 100% since it will usually show you where the answer is. Plus it's all still fresh in your head.

Okay, so if acing the quizzes is 100 points, the final is 200 and you need a 70% to pass then that means you only need a total score of 210, correct? If that is the case, how many questions can you miss on the final?

Correct. The final is generally 100 questions. Math finals are generally 70 questions. Take note that the UL SDC courses(like the project management course) also have 1 or more assignments that contribute to 1/3 of the total grade or 100 points.
