I don't think so much reflexive. ' Se' also turns an active verb to a passive verb.
Why does it say I missed a word when I simply placed "now" in mid-sentence instead of at the end. "Everything has now been determined" is exactly the same as "Everything has been determined now". This is kind of ridiculous.
It's just a less common way to phrase it. So it hasn't been added to the list of acceptable answers yet.
I think (emphasis on think) that because "se todo" is being used it tells us that "todo" is the subject of the sentence. So "all" is the subject by itself. I think (insert emphasis again) "Now it has all been determined." would be "Ahora lo ha determinado todo." Or something like it.
I put, Now it all has been determined. And that didn't work either. So it must be that we added an 'it'
How about "now everything has been settled" ? would that mean the same, or do I need a different verb for that?
April 2015: Since Duolingo's own definition for determinar is determin, establish, fix. Yet it refused "Now everything has been etablished". I have protested.
They still haven't corrected in January 2016. Keep reporting.
They either need to accept it or fix their hints.

I agree, I thought which option was a more accurate translation in practice, and went for established over determined and was disappointed to be refused
It's what is known as the "passive se." See, for example, this entry at SpanishDict.
You are correct with respect to the passive voice, but determinar in this case is a transitive verb. It is not reflexive/pronominal.
It accepts "everything" and "all" as synonyms here. There's nothing wrong with "all."

There are some really strange phrases, but this one is overboard. It's just too esoteric of a context.
everything is not accepted as an answer....do you guys know English at all?
If you eport it when you have a problem with a translation, and you will help everyone as well as yourself.
