WHAT IS A CHALLENGE? Sophia courses are designed using a problem-based learning model. You can expect to engage in real world scenarios. To assist you in solving these Challenges, we provide multip... le video tutorials that help you understand the key concepts behind each problem. Each Challenge encompasses 7-10 practical problems to solve. You have multiple attempts to solve these problems and you may leave and return to Challenges whenever you want to continue your learning and improve your score (as long as you have remaining attempts). You must get at least half of the Challenge questions correct in a Unit in order to advance to the Milestone for that Unit. WHAT IS A MILESTONE? Milestones test your mastery of the concepts taught in the course. Each Milestone consists of 25 questions. You have a set amount of time to complete each Milestone, which is displayed on the Course Dashboard. You must get at least half of the questions correct to pass—but keep in mind that you need to average 70% across all Challenges and Milestones. Milestones are weighted twice as much as Challenges for the purpose of calculating your final score. You will only be given one chance to pass a Milestone. Each Milestone has a corresponding Practice Milestone that you can use to check your readiness before attempting the actual Milestone. You’ll find similar questions to the actual Milestone, along with answers. WHAT IS THE ID VERIFICATION MILESTONE? Upon successful completion of all Challenges and Milestones with the required overall 70% passing score, you will be ready for the ID Verification Milestone, which is proctored online to ensure student authentication and academic integrity. The ID Verification Milestone is a series of 25 new questions that correspond to questions you previously answered correctly in each Unit. Sophia uses a third-party remote online proctoring partner to administer your ID Verification Milestone. In rare instances, a retake of the ID Verification Milestone can be approved by Sophia Learning. If a retake is needed and approved, a $25 fee will be charged and must be paid prior to the retake attempt. [Show More]
