Dive Theory Elearning Questions

[SentinelAce]

I am taking the elearning online. I suck at taking tests in general. I know the quizzes let you go back and correct your errors. What happens if you fail a section? can you go back and fix it? For example, Dive Physics requires a 75%. What happens if I get below that? Can I retake it? I naturally have ADD and struggle through tests. I am more hands on.

I am guessing this is a PADI course?

yes it is. I'm working on my DM currently and this is required.

I believe PADI allows you to retake the quizzes until you pass them.

but does that mean I have to keep paying if I fail? I don't want to rush it but want to get started in classes soon

I think you just take it over and over without having to pay. The goal is to get you to remember the information. Remember, they are essentially open book so take your time and search for the right answers. The quizzes can be redone but the failing the exam would mean you would have to pay again iirc

I am referring to the exam at the end of each section.

No. You don't have to pay again.

Although all the answers are in the book.

so if I fail an exam, I can retake it over and over? or is that just the quiz?

Yes. You can't really fail the theory. You just keep doing it until you pass.

But do read the book. It actually has some reasonable information in it. Especially the encyclopedia. Even if it could do with an update in certain places.
