Grading Policy

End-of-Course Assessment/Course Review
The final assessment for each Red course, called "Course Review," assesses your ability to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the course material. Scholastic Red gives you the opportunity to retake the assessment if you are not satisfied with your initial score. You will be given a new set of 20 questions. Red will recognize the best score as the final one.

Grading the Review
Scholastic Red's university partners determine the credit requirements for each Red course and conduct an evaluation of student work. Many of Red's university partners determine students' grades by using the score on the Course Review. No officer of Scholastic Red or of the university can change a student's Review score.
