SL doesn't have Principles of Finance. They do have Personal Finance, but that won't work for the core, that would go into Free Electives.
Oh, I thought I had read that somewhere. What courses goes into the core from SL?
I did the following.
Account 1 and 2.
Principles of Management
Business law
Microeconomics and Macroeconomics
It looks like you've already completed all but two of the BSBA core courses that are available via SL. Aside from the capstone, you're only missing:
Intro Computers/Computer Concepts & Applications (Saylor/Straighterline/Study.com/CLEP/DSST/TECEP)
Principles of Finance (Shmoop/Study.com/DSST)
Principles of Marketing (Davar/Saylor/Shmoop/Study.com/CLEP/TECEP)
International Management (Davar/Saylor/Study.com/TECEP)
Business/Managerial Communication (Davar/Saylor/Shmoop/Straighterline/Study.com)
So, you can still take IT Fundamentals (CIS-107) and Business Communications (COM-202) at SL, but the rest you'll need to look elsewhere.

I have done those 2 courses, but I forgot mention them.
Thanks for the help

It's pretty normal, although at most schools, more advanced courses like higher math, hard science, and many UL courses will be worth more credits (and take more study hours to complete). For instance, my Physics I and II with lab, Precalc and Calc I courses from community college were 5 credits, and Calc II and III were 4 credits. However, your run of the mill course is usually 3, and a bachelor's needs 120 credits (and 4 years) pretty much everywhere.
The British system, used in lots of countries, is different with 3 year bachelor's degree being common.
NanoDegree: Intro to Self-Driving Cars (2019)
Coursera: Stanford Machine Learning (2019)
TESU: BA in Comp Sci (2016)
TECEP:Env Ethics (2015); TESU PLA:Software Eng, Computer Arch, C++, Advanced C++, Data Struct (2015); TESU Courses:Capstone, Database Mngmnt Sys, Op Sys, Artificial Intel, Discrete Math, Intro to Portfolio Dev, Intro PLA (2014-16); DSST:Anthro, Pers Fin, Astronomy (2014); CLEP:Intro to Soc (2014); Saylor.org:Intro to Computers (2014); CC: 69 units (1980-88)

Yeah, alright.
This is offtopic, but since I just signed up to study.com and I'm doing the lessons and quizzes. How many times can I re-take a quiz to get 100%?

You can take each quiz up to 3 times for credit, and it will use the highest of 3 attempts. Any attempts made after that don't count towards the score.
Of course, you can also use the study guide to look up the answers to make sure you get 100%, but I would avoid doing so unless you're really stumped.

But it doesn't display that these attempts anywhere? Am I looking wrong or what
Also, i'm doing the trial at the moment, whenever it changes over to the college accelerator, will I keep my progress?

Hmm, I don't see anywhere it shows it either. I know the 3 attempts is what is listed in the Syllabus for every course. I've never attempted to take a quiz more than twice, but I assume it will pop up a warning on the 3rd attempt, or at least inform you if you've used all 3 scorable attempts.

It didn't show any warnings so far. I'm doing English comp 2

It is probably because if I score less than 80% it won't use an attempt, is this correct? In the English comp 2, the quizzes are only 5 questions.
