Hi Sukhmander, Thanks for your feedback. Questions in the summative Milestones are based on concepts taught in that unit's tutorials. Questions often require critical thinking to connect the concepts to the scenario described in the question. The Milestone is an open book test, so students can always consult the related tutorial(s) to ensure the answer makes sense before submitting the test for grading. We hope to see you in a future Sophia course. Thank you
— Mike F. | Sophia Learning Coach
