About your score

If your score is over 10, an on-line course is a real possibility for you.

If your score is between 7 - 10, an on-Line course may work for you, but you will need to make adjustments in your planning, your computer skills, and possibly in your personal computer/internet options to succeed.

If your score is under 7, an on-line course may not currently be a suitable option for you - talk to your instructor before you enroll.
