Like with any course at StraighterLine, the speed is highly dependent on what level of knowledge you bring to the course. With that being said, the course is very manageable with knowledge and if new to the subject, it's a solid course to learn. A nice supporting resource is ACDCLeadership

Thanks for the feedback. I started today and got an 80 without the book on the first exam. I think the course is very doable as stated above.

I am sure you are aware but keep in mind the exams are weighted and even though 80 is a solid score, too many 80s can put unnecessary pressure on the final exam score.

Ransomsoul,
How do you recommend preparing for the final? Should I just review my notes and quizzes?

Midterm was a significant value in this course and is for most at StraighterLine. Studying just the exams is enough to muscle through the final but understanding 'why A. is the answer' or 'how B. & C. are connected' is a greater route to take. At this point, what is the necessary final score needed to pass (how many points do you need)?

I'm not quite done yet, but I would surmise a 40-45% on the final should be sufficient.
