Is it possible to do the final exam with Straighterline before finishing all the quizzes?

I managed to finish 10 straighterline courses in the first month, i'm proud of myself.

American Government
Business Statistics
Cultural Antropology
Intro to Criminal Justice
Introduction to Environmental Science
Introduction to Nutrition
Introduction to Religion
United States History I
Western Civilization I
Western Civilization II

I will try to purchase a Shmoop membership to see how many I can complete there.

All the exams are non-proctored there, right?

That's right, Shmoop courses are all not proctored. You should only take "what you need" from Shmoop, like the Upper Level (UL) courses for the BALS. For other courses, I rather take them from StraighterLine or Study.com, just make sure to "max" out the credits with Shmoop and leave it at that... Actually, since you have a StraighterLine subscription, you may want to get another month and max out another X amount of courses, since you're doing so awesome! Keep up the good work DanielP!

My straighterline sub just ran out today and I rather wait until some more discount codes appears, so i'm thinking to try out Shmoop for the next month or so.

If you use ModernStates, I'd recommend CLEP as well. But because you're in Europe and maybe far from a test center, I would recommend you review the course details/requirements for them both. Study.com only has 3 assignments each course I think, SL has triple the amount of ONE course, if you add two courses together, it'll be 6 times the extra written assignments. Strangely, I still chose SL over Study.com as I wanted to "get better" with my writing...

I guess study.com seems better with less assignments and I need to take 2 courses on study.com anyway, so it makes sense as well

Edit: I can't seem to find anything about if exams on saylor.org are open book or closed book. Is there a place where I can see it?

Closed book. Most Saylor courses don't really have books anyway.
