I have terrible hand writing and I've read that the final for Practical Algebra (Technical Math) is paper based. I wonder if it's the case with the rest of the courses (currently interested in English Composition and Visual C++)?

Yes they are all paper based from the Information I got from the Advisors there. You will do just fine
I have the worst hand writing on the Planet and I have passed an Hand Written Exam from Penn Foster and I am currently studying for two Extra Exams.

All the Best

Thanks for the re-assurance! I forgot to mention that I can only write in connected cursive letters (french school) and many people have a problem decoding my hand writing. I guess I'll give it a try with one course and see how it goes.

Thanks again!

Have you already done the 1 credit information Literacy, if not it might be a good starting point

Yeah, unfortunately I already got my 1 credit from Excelsior ($250 Sad

). On the upside, it took only 3 hours to study and pass the online exam (not that my time is very expensive, mind you).

But thanks for the tip, Mapalo, I'll be sure to pass it on. I really like Penn Foster, unbeatable value.

Gus:

I am currently enrolled in the Penn Foster English Composition course; I have the final assignment to complete yet. There is no proctored exam for this course; your last essay is your final exam, which counts for 30% of your final grade. All of the 4 essays can be summited online in a MS Word format. Also, the two, 20 question multiple choice quizzes, can be submitted online. So there are no paper and pencil submissions for this course.

Hope this helps. I will write a full review after I finish the course.

Excellent news, thank you so much Cade! I guess that settles it for English Composition.

Good luck!
