Read everything. Complete all of the quiz questions. Use the text when taking the exams. It's all open book.

Ditto. Read everything, take ALL quiz questions and you will be very well prepared for the challenges. If you skip anything it will stall you when you are trying to complete the challenges.

Even if you read everything and complete all of the quiz (Challenge) questions, there can be some Milestone questions that seem to come out of the blue. Don't sweat it. A couple of wrong answers won't be the end of the world.

The reading tends to be linear.
You can just download the PDFs, then have 2 windows open. 1 for the pdf and 1 for the quiz. Or just open 2 tabs so you can see the reading on one side and the quiz on the other so you don't waste time scrolling up and down.
I skim read if I know a little about the subject, then on Terms to Know or terms I see in bold print I do read that that part.

That’s pretty much how I did them too.

For Sophia.org, Study.com, StraighterLine and other providers such as TEEX, I have a laptop and a secondary monitor to multi task on, so essentially I have all the information such as the webpage/PDF files open on the second monitor and the laptop I have the quizzes/open book exams and assignments. Having extra screen real estate allows me to get so many things done instead of having to click on multiple/several tabs. When the proctored finals come into play, I just remove the extra monitor and take the test.

I've started my first course at Sophia.com to do my general ed. When i am reading to answer the given three questions i answer one question correctly, it then prompts go to the next concept. Does it mean i don't need to answer the remaining two questions if i answer the first correctly? How much does it affect my score?

BTW, you're typing in Sophia.com, it's Sophia.org - Anyways, you get 3 chances at getting that one point. If you have the first question correct in that batch of three, you go to the next one. You see the score at the top of the screen, if you have a perfect score or if you have the question incorrect 3 times, it'll show at the top... each and every question would have to be completed before the quizzes are completed.
