Just passed IA1 OA1, but... how do I still get some points off on the Excel portion no matter what!?

Just passed IA1 OA1, but... how do I still get some points off on the Excel portion no matter what!?

The PA was identical to the OA, so I knew exactly what to do to get 100% and yet... still some points off. This has happened to me on every Excel portion of the OAs I've taken so far. It's like they somehow always have some tiny thing graded differently on the OA.

Btw I'm aware this is crazy to complain about and that it obviously doesn't matter. I just wish I could see the detail on the high stakes report because I'll never know why there were points taken off despite doing everything exactly the same as on the PA and double-checking. 🤦‍♂️ Lowkey makes me feel crazy...

Open call to get the Google rating up

It seems like a lot of the negative reviews are unfair & based on some highly specific/irrelevant thing (like a proctor issue, etc.) rather than an evaluation of the school as a whole & how much it helps those of us who love learning but have a hard time sitting through regular classes. If anybody googles WGU to learn more about it, a 3.3 average rating does not look good in comparison to most other schools -- and the negative reviews are unfairly skewing the overall rating.

I say we all flood the reviews to leave 5 stars (if you genuinely have a positive opinion) so that WGU has a better reputation. Just left mine -- no comments, just a 5-star to boost the rating because I've had an awesome experience at WGU and am eternally grateful that it exists.

I've seen a decent number of people saying that the Intermediates were surprisingly straightforward despite being a lot denser content-wise, and that they thought D101 was worse because it's more tedious/forces you to use more parts of your brain. However, I've also seen some people say they thought D101 was easy compared to the Intermediates.

Wondering if there's a consensus on this sub, or if it just depends largely on the person and how their brain works.

(For the record, I'm planning to finish D101 today after working on it for two weeks - longest I've spent on a course so far - I had to take a few full days off from studying in these two weeks because I was getting overwhelmed with wrapping my head around everything. I was dreading this course because I know I prefer Financial, and that Managerial requires a different way of thinking. Seeing some people say D101 is the most difficult gives me hope for my remaining courses, but I'm wondering if it's a very small minority saying that.)
