EPGY multivariable differential calculus... difficulty/reporting

Hi,

I'm taking EPGY's multivariable differential calculus online...
The lessons aren't very hard so far but I'm really worried about the grade.

If anyone has already taken this class, I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help me:

1.) How difficult are the tests?
For homework problems, it begins very simply then the last starred problems where the answers are online on the EPGY site, I don't even know where to begin... Do I get partial credit on the exams? Is the test based more on numbers and equations, or theoretics/proofs?

2.) I know the class is a PASS/FAIL. Does this mean a 70% average on all three tests?

3.) If I report EPGY as a college course that I'm taking on my CommonApp, does this mean I have to submit a transcript to the colleges I apply to???

Thanks so much!
Any other info would be really appreciated too!

1 - ?
2 - ?
3 - yes, if EPGY provides a transcript. It's easy to add another transcript to the Common App Homeschool Supplement.

Bump. Anyone know how the tests are? Like are they very proof-based or more number crunching? I'm pretty worried about my first test coming up...
