I am preparing to attempt this OA for the second time, I’d attempted it the first time prematurely and feel that I may be ready now.
For those of you who have been successful, do you remember the OA being fairly similar to the PA? I honestly don’t remember the exam at all😬
I am starting D465 today after finally completing D467. Do any of you have any tidbits or suggestions for successfully completing this course?
D464 was a source of pure anxiety for me but today I finally made it to the finish line.
I scheduled my OA for 10:30pm…. Due to the absolutely wonderful ProctorU I did not begin until 12:50am😒 which had my nerves going bonkers but I got through it successfully!!
My tip for this course is to take the PA immediately just to gauge what you may or may not know then go through the Coursera via 1.5x speed. Once complete, review the Study Guide in the student resources. After reviewing upload the study guide to Chat GPT and request that it create a “wordy” practice test that covers the material shown on the study guide.
Once you successfully get through that take the PA once more. If you pass go ahead and schedule the OA for the same or next day while the information is still fresh!
Good Luck 🍀
WGU please for the love of heaven and earth find another way because ProctorU is not it!!!
I scheduled an exam for 10:40pm, it is now midnight and I have not been able to test and somehow no one is able to figure out why! This is insane and extremely unnerving!
I wanted with everything in me to pass and be done with this class. I was so close but clearly, almost doesn’t count.
Any advice on successfully passing the OA? In my opinion it was not like the PA.
I have made the commitment to attempt to complete the final 11 courses of my SCOM degree program in 7 weeks or less. Accelerators, is this a realistic goal? What has been your experience with any of these courses?

D466: Analyzing and Visualizing Data (CURRENTLY ACTIVE)
D465: Data Applications

I am on cloud 9. This course sent me into pure overload but I finally passed on Attempt 2.
20 Weeks & 13 courses remaining in my term!!
I am officially done with D082!
I started WGU May 1st, as of today 6/5/26 I have completed 4 courses towards my SCOM Degree. Taking an attempt at the D468 OA this evening, wish me luck and drop any tips you may have about successfully passing that OA🤗
15 Classes remaining and pushing adamant about walking across that stage October 9th!
2nd times a charm I guess! I am on cloud 9 about finishing this course as this was my biggest fear and headache. More than halfway through the degree and pushing to walk that stage collecting my degree October 9th!
I’m livid! I schedule my OA after successfully passing the PA twice. The only exam time available is after 11PM🙄
I log in 10 minutes prior to ensure that my equipment is all good and I’m ready to go.
Between WGU connection & proctor issues I am now delayed an hour beyond the scheduled test time.
By this time I’m aggravated and nerves all over the place. I take the exam but now I’m flustered because of the delay.
The exam wasn’t horrible but there were a few things on it that were not on the PA or familiar to me even after the videos and reading.
I get to the end of the test only to find that I failed and I am not a happy camper!
Here are my results😒
Celebrating a small accomplishment in my journey with WGU.
I knocked out D253 Values-Based Leadership in 2 days including evaluation time.
I started my first term with WGU May 1st and have just submitted my 2nd and final task for my first course.
Patiently awaiting evaluation in hopes that I’m officially 1 course down with 17 to go!
Next up…. The dreaded D388😩
I’m on track to finish my B.S. in Supply Chain & Operations this October and I’m trying to figure out the most realistic way to break into the field.
My end goal is procurement or supply chain roles within retail, entertainment, or food/beverage companies. I have about 6+ years of experience in operations and customer-facing roles, but nothing directly labeled “supply chain” yet.
For those already working in the field:
• What was your first role?
• What titles should I be searching for?
• Anything you wish you knew before applying?
Just trying to make a smart transition and would love to learn from people already doing it.
