Just passed Straighterline Psycology!

[jayorjon]

*psychology, lol

passed with an 81%.

My thoughts on the course. The test were a little harder than expected, fact knowledge is not enough, many questions challenge your understanding of the material, which is a good thing though, just makes it more difficult.

Also you only have an hour and 15 minutes for the chapter test which cover 4 chapters, this made it pretty stressful for me because i have two little ones and a handicapped daughter that may and did have needs during my test time, the short timer made it a real challenge to finish in time. The final was 2 hours which ended up being plenty of time.

I have started Macro-economics already and it gives 2 hours for chapter test that only cover one chapter, which is working out much better.

overall, I am really enjoying Straighterline, its was pretty nice being able to knock this out in about two weeks from starting it, and I like the straighterline format (with exception of the time issue on the psych test, lol)

very thankful for this forum and the great people in it that helped me get started!

Thanks
Jon

Congrats!

On a side note, my son went over his time on his Med Term mid-term. His score appeared with a "needs grading" icon, so I emailed SL and they sent me a note saying to "pay attention" to the time clock, but that there is no penalty for going over the time and that the icon just was an alert to them. He uploaded his score and it posted immediately. So, I would say to anyone stressing about the time limits not to worry (at this point).

That has been my case too. I have had legitimate reasons for my going over the time limit (because my test froze and I was unable to enter the SL website). But there was no penalty and my score was submitted when I was able to enter and complete it.

Thanks for the info on the time limit, maybe I can quit freaking out over it, lol.

Here is another fact and tip. if you send your course advisor a letter signed by your doctor you have a learning disability .. they take the clock away.. for testing..

I went over time by 5 seconds and didn't sweat it at all.
I have done that a few times actually. I never went over by more than a few seconds though. If I had known the time clock was more of a recommendation then maybe I would have taken a little more time and blew past it by 5-10 minutes or so.
