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 multiple 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.
