So tonight, I paid my $5 and took the exam. The whole time I was dozing off and yawning. I went into the final with 63.7% (637 points), so all I needed was 63 points, or 13 questions to reach 70 because the final is 300 points, 60 questions. I took about 25 minutes to complete it. I got 130 out of 300. Someone who does not know might think this is bad, but straighterline works on accumulation not on final score. Or so I thought. Then, I got this after I submitted my final:
[COLOR="#0000FF"]Unfortunately you did not successfully pass this Final Examination.
You are entitled to retake the exam once. You may schedule your retake through advisor@straighterline.com.
After a second unsuccessful attempt, you may repurchase the course if you wish to continue. [/COLOR]
This is the course requirement: RequiredYour course completion is based on 1. completing all required assignments and 2. achieving a 70% in the course and that is what I agreed to when they accepted my money.
Seriously? Now my total score for the class is 74%. My membership is set to renew on the 19. I don't want to pay $100 dollar fee just to retake an exam. When did this policy came up? Have you guys seen it before? Has it been there all time, and maybe I just wasn't paying attention?

I'm as confused as you are, I've never seen this. I think you should open a ticket and ask. Remind them of the course requirement and ask why, when you have a 74%, you're being told you need to retake the final.
