The final exam for each course, the "unit exams" are open-book on computer.
All of my courses except for English Comp (which was all essays), and Art Appreciation had proctored final exams.
Also, what percentage of your grade is entailed in this one proctored exam? I'm definitely happy to hear that they have proctored exams, it definitely lends it credibility, but sites like this one Penn Foster Exam Answers - pfExams.com make me even more leery about PFC (and desirous to dig deeper). I found that without even looking for it when trying to determine what type of examination process they have (there was a link on Youtube off of one of the official PFC videos that was advertising this site).
I can't find anything like that for CLEP or DSST exams in a quick search. That seems telling.
I'm an engineer. Go figure.
