The thing I do like most about this is, there seems to be multiple options for credit by exam. If you fail one method, you more than likely have one or two other methods to seek out. (CLEP/DANTES/ECE/TECEP/PF)

Everything you said is true. I spoke with Penn Foster about failing the retake and they told me that it is possible to still get credit if your cummulative scores are high enough, and that was my strategy. I took my time with the unit exams and ended up with a 97% average. The final accounts for 1/3 of the grade, so I know that I can score pretty lousy (like a 40) on the retake and still end up with a C for the course. My problem is that I can figure out the answers, but am not fast in getting there. The course filled my need to get the roadblock of statistics out of my way so I can finish my degree. And, if all else fails, Penn Foster courses provide an inexpensive method of preparing for the proficiency exam if that is the goal.
