Can You Withdraw from a Penn Foster Course? Feel Defeated

[heidi08]

I am taking PF Advanced Composition (my last course for my TESC BSBA) and having a difficult time. The instructor is no help and I feel I am wasting my time. I am an international student and English is my first language, and the instructor's clarification does not respond to what I asked. I went on the PF forum and another 2 students are having difficulty with this course and seems to be the same instructor. This instructor took over a week to grade the assignment and I need the instructor's feedback to move onto the 2nd assignment. I have taken the recommendation on this forum for PF courses, but this course cannot finish in 2 to 3 days or even a week. There are 6 written assignments, not 4 as someone suggested on this board. I have taken 5 PF courses which included Technical Writing and this is not my first writing course with PF.

I am planning to test out with TECEP ENG 102. Does anyone know if I can do the following:

1. Withdraw for the PF course?
2. Can I still register for TECEP ENG 102 and write the exam by July 31? (my deadline to submit to my state board my transcript)

If anyone can help on this issue or course, I greatly appreciate some feedback/guidance.
