Saylor is 100% final exam. There are no quizzes or assignments to split the grade.
Sophia is entirely open-book. You need to score at least 50% on a Milestone (Sophia's version of an exam) to pass. Depending on how well you scored in the rest of the course, you may or may not need more than that for a final score of 70% or more in the entire course. But, since it's all open book, it's pretty easy to not score BELOW a 70% on most Milestones. Each Milestone has a practice Milestone to take. Taking this makes the actual Milestone easier.
Study.com could definitely work. SDC UL courses have quizzes, assignment(s), and a final exam. Each of these has 100 points available and you need 210 out of 300 points to pass. If you get 95% on the quizzes (relatively easy on most courses; it's entirely possible to score a perfect 100 for some courses) and then 90 points on the assignment(s), that's 185 points. Only 25% or more would be needed for the final exam.
