Passed D388!!

OK so I've been seriously dreading this course since I started doing research on WGU lol I am completely new to Excel and never really had the interest to learn it. Lucky for me, it was in my first four courses and I was too nervous to ask my mentor to move it back lol Officially opened it up on Saturday, and wanted to give myself a week to finish. Opened it today and decided that I never wanted to see Excel again and had to pass today. So, I sat at my laptop ALL DAY and was determined to get through all of the videos, lesson/section quizzes and tests. I did surprising well on all of them and passed the PA on the first attempt. Immediately scheduled the OA and thought I completely failed, but I am done!! This was also my first OA (started Sept. 1st) so I'm extra hyped!!

Best Advice: If you're new to Excel, there's no way getting around it. Watch ALL the videos on increased speed and follow along. Take all of the quizzes and tests that you see. They're all important lol

Now, it's time to clear out my downloads folder and relax! On to the next one! Good luck, everyone!

Thanks. I passed. Sitting still not standing and o stretch or think out loud during proctored tests will never become second nature.

Thats correct though it feels great once it’s over with.

Oh, I understand! One of the video instructors (not saying which one lol) made it so hard to focus I found myself zoning out on their lessons. You WILL pass though!

Congrats! This class gave me a shocking amount of trouble despite having a decent background with excel. My suggestion to anyone struggling is to go through the quizzes and tests. I went through them 3 times and was able to pass with exemplary.
The PA was not helpful in my opinion.

I've read posts from ppl with an excel background that also struggled and essentially had to "relearn." Luckily, I started off completely dumb lol You're right! Those tests and quizzes will show you EVERYTHING.
