A couple things about Study.com -
The finals vary between being worth 1/3 and 2/3 of your grade. It depends on if there are any essays required for the course which makes the final worth less percentage of your overall grade. If you get 100% on your quizzes (which isn’t too hard as you get 3 chances and can see the answers), then you only need a 55% on the final to pass.
None of the finals I have taken for Study have had written answers- it’s all multiple choice- even the English Comp classes. You also are given 100-120 minutes to do the final exam. There are anywhere from 70-120 questions on the final.
The English Comp courses and all the UL courses do require essays to pass the class. However, you do them on your own time and with your own word processor. So you have the ability to spell check and go however fast or slow you like. It always took me awhile to write my essays!
I’m not sure where you’re looking to go to school, but Study.com courses transfer into TESU as pass/fail and not whatever grade you got with Study.com for the course so that also takes some pressure off the classes.
I’ve taken several Cleps and they can be quite stressful as everything rides on that one test. (They’re also pass/fail) I took several that were worth 6 credits though so the payoff for me was worth it. I don’t know what kind of accommodations CLEP offers, but I do remember seeing something about them on their website. I also never took a CLEP Test that required writing. There are some, I just avoided them.
The only test I took that had writing as part of the test itself was my Music History TECEP. I used almost all the time for that test because I’m a slow writer and not confident in writing essays on the fly. Fortunately they had a spell check as part of their word processor!
For my two math classes with Study.com, I was allowed to have a non-graphing scientific calculator. I’m horrible at math so I was incredibly grateful for that, even though I didn’t know how to use half the functions on it!
