I am very good at the CLEP/DSST/UEXCEL but I think I could save some money with study.com. Any info provided would be very helpful. Thanks!
To add on to what jsd said, most of the UL courses still have project involved in them. The courses are either out of 150 total points or 300 points. For the 150 point courses you need at least a 105 and for the 300 point courses at least a 210.
Breakdowns of 150 point classes look like this:
50 total points for quizzes (if you get a 100 on all the little quizzes that 50 points leaving you needing a 55 on the final to pass)
100 total points for proctored final
Breakdowns of 300 point classes look like this:
100 total points for quizzes
100 total points for final project (some courses have multiple final project for example the Business 308 has 4 essays)
100 total points for proctored final.
The total points needed on the final would be calculated after you get your grade from the project. So 100 on all quizzes, an 85 on the final project, you would need a 25 on the final. The final projects are reasonably graded from my experience so far. I just submitted my project for Accounting 301
