I’m not near my computer but when I am on it next I’ll take a screenshot for u to show you where.

It just gives a simple explanation, but not the exact verbatim choice.    it should be that hard to determine if you understand the info I would think.   I haven't had any issues, its just a bit more work


I am still new to all this study.com/DegreeForum stuff, but i know for a fact that on study.com if you click below the quiz you can definitely see the 5 quiz questions with the correct answer.

I’ll screen shot it later.

You will only see the correct answer if you actually selected the correct answer while taking the quiz. If you got the question wrong it will show you your answer then a thing you can click to either see an explanation or watch a segment of the video. The problem has mostly been with watching a segment of the video. To me it either doesn't apply or it is confusing. Maybe it's my problem - the videos are so redundant and boring I'm falling asleep. How many times does it have to tell us the definition of interest? I got it the first time lol

 No need to screenshot it, I see what you did now. You clicked "print answers." I didn't do that, so it was my bad.

That’s it - sorry I had the wrong wording.

No problem, I think study.com is a bit confusing but I only just started with it a couple days ago so I don't know all the ropes yet Smile

Hi everyone,
Do any of you think the study.com
practice exams are HARDER than the final exam?

The reason I ask is because I took the MAT101 practice exam literally 12 times and scored the lowest 44 and highest 72 over those 12 times.

I took the proctored exam tonight and scored a 87 - thank you Lord!! I was surprised how much easier the final exam was than all those practice exams.

Anyone else notice that? Or no? Or maybe it’s just certain courses?

Any of your thoughts and experiences would help. Thanks!

I'm sure it is based on a roll of the dice. The practice tests are based on the quizzes, while the final exam test bank appears to be based on the quizzes plus additional material from the lessons. The specific questions you get on the final exam are random selections from the test bank. So you may have lucked out and got a bunch of questions that happened to be ideal to your knowledge. I've had that happen once or twice as well. Smile

I still need to take Stats so if I end up taking it via Study.com instead of SL, hopefully I'll have a similar experience. Smile
