Saylor CS402

What would that person say is the correct answer if they had read the material?

Several of the questions marked answers as being wrong when they were directly out of the material. banghead

Oh well, such is life.

Not surprised.

I took and failed the final (non-credit version). There were a number of questions that I thought had issues.

I've already passed the TECEP CMP-354 Network Technology.

This was exactly the issue he was having as well. He would say "look at this wording, then look at the answers you can choose from, now look at the info in the material where it is - NONE of these is the right answer!"

!

I've just had this issue with BUS303 Strategic Information Systems. One of the questions asking what are legacy information systems was ridiculous, it was so obviously wrong. Some of the others were so badly worded there were either no correct answers or more than 1. Oh and I've just failed it with 66%. Not happy. I won't bother to take again, I'll just take a different (non Saylor) exam.

Did you email them to submit the inaccuracies? I'm curious because this is actually the one I'm planning on taking next.

I had a similar problem with the networking test at Saylor and it was pretty frustrating. I emailed them and reported the errors. They responded that they'd have someone look into it but didn't adjust my store. Several I had in writing from the course material and the test was just obviously wrong. I think I'm just going to go ahead with it though. If I take it the first time and fail and have to take it again, its' still only $50 for three credits. Cheaper than most other places. I just wish the quality was higher.

There are several questions that are absolutely wrong, some are poorly worded or have multiple correct answers (or no correct answers) and don't provide enough information to distinguish between the answer they want you to pick.

This was exactly the issue he was having as well.  He would say "look at this wording, then look at the answers you can choose from, now look at the info in the material where it is - NONE of these is the right answer!"

I'm going to try to have some of these fixed as well.  And ask for a refund of our $25 if they can't show how his exam is correctly graded!  It's ridiculous that they can't get these correct!!

Were you able to get this fixed? I submitted some errors and they said they'd look into it, but I didn't get a score adjustment as others have mentioned.
