Straighterline Exams Retake Policy? - Pats20 - 04-03-2022

Does anyone know for sure if you can retake all the exams except for the final 3 times ? I can’t find that stated anywhere on their platform. I know you can take the first exam an unlimited amount of times.

Also if you are allowed to take each exam 3 times , can you do so out of order ? Say you get thru exam 5 and want to try and improve grade on exam 2 or 3 for example so to improve overall course grade.

Quote:With the exception of the first exam in your course, you cannot retake quizzes and exams or change your answers once you've submitted the entire graded exam. In limited cases, exams may be reset due to technical issues. If this happens and we confirm the attempt has been cleared, your score is permanently deleted and you must retake the exam in its entirety. If you require assistance due to a technical difficulty, please contact a Student Advisor.

You'd need to retake the course.

Quote:If upon completion of a course a student has not achieved a satisfactory score (70% by default as per ACE), a student may retake their course by repurchasing and reattempting it in full. Students will wait a minimum of three (3) business days between attempts. The highest final satisfactory score will be used for the transcript.

Calculus is a special course. Normally you can retake the 1st exam unlimited times and the other exams only once. 

For Calculus, you can retake exams out of order which is what I did.
