Straighterline Quizzes - how to "pass" without having to take proctored final?

[sharkysmom]

No, you have to finish all exams, midterm, finals (and if you have courses that have assignments that are marked, you have to complete them).
Your final grade after doing all of those has to equal 69.6% or higher (as they do rounding up), but yes, 70% or higher is when you get credit.

It doesn't matter how well you did in each, it all depends how they add up cumulatively to 70% or higher.
Most classes if you score high enough, you can pass the course without even worrying about the final.

Okay, thanks. I guess I misunderstood. I'm only 2 quizzes in (Sociology 101) and got a 100% and 87%. I guess as I reach the final I'll see what the grade is I need to get in order to pass.

I'm not yet in the swing of test taking again (after all these years) so it's definitely not easy - but I'm starting to make out some patterns of what will be asked and what I will need to know. Hopefully I'll get better at identifying that than anything else. As with schooling entirely, it always seems to reward people who understand the strategy of test taking vs. those who really understand the material but don't hone in on what will become important or how it will be asked.
