Bad Test Taker? Try Penn Foster

Posted by in Uncategorized Feb 1st, 2008

If you're a nervous test taker, you may want to enroll in one of Penn Foster's online programs. A student blogger recently shared his testing mishaps over on eLearners.com:

"I'll get a second chance at taking the two exams I failed during my semester one finals for Penn Foster College later this week. The re-take exams for Business Orientation and Principles of Management are scheduled for Wednesday evening.

As I've mentioned before, I ran out of time while taking the Principles of Management exam, but I'm confident I would have passed just fine if I had another 20 minutes to finish the exam. I don't have the faintest idea why I bombed the Business Orientation course. The only thing I can think of is my answer sheet was either lost or wasn't graded. I answered every question on the exam, which is OPEN book."

Not only was this student allowed to take his final exams open book, he was given make up tests when he failed. Plus, the make up tests came with study guides. Rarely can you find a college with such lenient final exam policies.
