Well, I feel like a real idiot. I failed the Personal Finance final - by 1 point. ARGH. So, how do re-takes work? Will I still be able to take another exam this month for a different course?

It sounds like I only get two tests per month, no matter what. But, I could have sworn I read somewhere that each final gets three re-takes. Hmmmmmm..... And, I'm wondering if Study.com will get mad at me if I move onto a new course while I'm waiting for my Personal Finance re-take. (I'm on the Guardian Scholarship.)

Bummer.
Are you aware you only need a 55 on the final? You get two exams per month, including retakes. So you have to wait 3 days to retake the personal finance exam. Not sure if you can begin a new course, since completing personal finance is mandatory. You could call customer service or email the person in your welcome message to ask.Did you take the practice final? I also like the chapter practice exams. After the retake, you'll have to wait until the beginning of your next month for the 2 new exams. While waiting I would begin to plow through the next course(s) so you are ready when those exams go live. "Setting a goal is not the main thing.

Did you watch all the videos? Go thru all the end of chapter quizzes? I got 4's on 18 of my sections. Ended with an 83 on final
just finished yesterday after not touching the course in over 2 weeks. For me I thought the test was just like everything we did in the course. Sorry you didn't pass.

I wouldn't move onto another course.
Being able to retake is different from having another exam "credit" (so you can take an exam). With the scholarship you get the 2 credits, then you have to wait 30 days for the next ones. If you were on a paid membership, then you could just pay again to get a credit.

Log back in and retake the quiz. You still have time before they post final grade. Just make sure that quiz grade is 100. "Setting a goal is not the main thing.

You should be able to go back and retake that quiz. You get 3 times on it. That would raise your grade to passing. Hopefully that works
