Eligibility For 14.310Fx
| 14.310Fx is an assessment-only course. You must take its Content Course, 14.310x first. |
To be eligible to take the Assessment Course, 14.310Fx Data Analysis in Social Science — Assessing Your Knowledge, you must first complete its associated Content Course, 14.310x Data Analysis for Social Scientists, and achieve a Total Course Score of at least 15%.
The Content Course should be taken on the Audit track, for free. SDS MicroMasters learners do not need to pay to upgrade the Content Course and do not need to take its Final Exam—SDS learners pay to upgrade the Assessment Course instead, which hosts the SDS Exam.
The passing score in 14.310x for SDS MicroMasters learners is 15%. This is half of the maximum Total Course Score possible without taking the Final Exam (30%).
Enrollment for 14.310Fx
| There is no open enrollment period for 14.310Fx. Learners cannot enroll themselves in 14.310Fx as they would for other courses. Instead, the SDS team enrolls eligible learners in each session of the course before the scheduled start date. |
Automatic Enrollment Timeline for 14.310Fx
If you are planning to take 14.310Fx within one year of passing its Content Course, 14.310x, you may expect to be automatically enrolled in the upcoming session of 14.310Fx by the SDS team around 2-4 weeks before the session's scheduled start date.
| If you wait more than one year after passing the Content Course to take the Assessment Course then you will not be automatically enrolled—you must explicitly request enrollment. See below for details |
In either case, if you believe that you are eligible to take 14.310Fx and wish to do so, but you are not enrolled by one week before the scheduled start date of the 14.310Fx session you wish to take, reach out to SDS Support ASAP for assistance in getting enrolled, using the instructions below.
The Enrollment Deadline for 14.310Fx course sessions is typically 1-2 days after the scheduled start date. If you are not already enrolled by the scheduled start date of a course session you probably won't be able to get enrolled and take the exam in that course session.
|
If you wait until after a session's start date to request enrollment, it may not be possible to enroll you in the session. If you miss a 14.310Fx session, you will need to wait 6-12 months until the next one. |
Once You're Enrolled in a 14.310Fx Course Session
You Must Upgrade to the Verified (Paid) Track
Because the automatic enrollment method used by the SDS Team cannot also automatically upgrade learners' enrollment track, all learners must manually upgrade their enrollment for 14.310Fx after being enrolled. The 14.310Fx exam is available only to learners enrolled on the Verified (Paid) enrollment track.
|
It is crucial to upgrade your enrollment track as soon as possible, once you are enrolled. The SDS team cannot make exceptions for learners who do not upgrade before the deadline. |
The Verification (Payment) Deadline for 14.310Fx course sessions typically occurs about 1-2 weeks after the scheduled start date of the course. If you fail to upgrade your enrollment by the Payment Deadline, you will not be able to take the exam, and you will need to wait until the next session of 14.310Fx. The course is generally offered once or twice per year, so if you miss the deadline, you will be waiting for a while until the next session. Please refer to the SDS Program's Upcoming Dates page to confirm availability for 14.310Fx
