Hi All,
I could not and would not have attempted Straighterline Accounting 1 without this Instant cert site, Thank you Steve, and Straighterline. Am very grateful to do this at home rather than in night school. If you know the subject already, you might prefer to CLEP out. If you need to learn concepts this is a great option. Will probably not make an A, like the studious pro's here, but am regaining study habits, have set up a comfortable study area, and am powering through. (only 4 more tests to go.) Weaknesses include skimming instead of reading, panic during tests, over 40, too much partying in the past, lack of desire to learn a very tedious subject, left-handed/ambidextrous = right-brained. I would do it again for the college credit and be more diligent, but would have book in hand at start for terminology. Google has 5,440,000 references to "I hate accounting".
Tips: In my experience, the course is not linear with the combined book (6531), and topics do not match chapters.
Excel templates are helpful, but with recent Windows updates, have lots of errors so I made my own worksheets.
This Straighterline course helps us take the tests for the individual sections, to learn a piece at a time, one step at a time. This is a complex subject. This method is working for me, especially when I study daily instead of just on the weekends.
After taking test, see note to review test, scroll down, select OK, File, Print, and you can see your test results.
Best regards, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
