However, you must receive a 70% or better on the final exam to receive credit. If you score below a 70%, you may take the exam again after an hour. You can take the exam as often as you need to until you pass, waiting an hour in-between each attempt. Once you pass the final, you may complete the course evaluation and print your certificate.
