In summary, the person is currently taking an edx course on mastering quantum mechanics from MITx and is considering upgrading to an ID verified student for $100. They feel they can follow the course on their own, but want to fix some holes in their understanding. The perk of upgrading is receiving a certificate upon completion, but it is unclear if these certificates are recognized in academic institutions.

i signed up for my first edx course mastering quantum mechanics from MITx and i am currently considering upgrading to an ID verified student for $100, is it worth it?

I am following nicely through the course, i did most of the stuff as self study (but some concepts had some holes and i am fixing them) so i think i can follow till the end.
