Can someone list options to have these Core requirements filled?
D: Finance 3 SH (we tried study.com FIN101 Principles of Finance, but too much hinges on the final)
[b]G: Business/Society 3SH[/b] (we tried study.com BUS120 International Business, but as there's no assignment, too much hinges on the final).
Study.com options would be great if there's an assignment involved.

BUS 308: Globalization and International Management works in International Business
For Prin of Finance, there is no other Study.com option (well except for FIN 104: Financial Management, but it's the same setup). You could take the PF course, but you'll spend $329 to not have to get a 55% (ish) on the final.
The other options all are tests only, so you'd have the entire grade hinge on the final. Honestly, I can't imagine doing a Study.com course and not being able to pass with a 55% (ish). After you've gone through all of those quizzes, it would be difficult to NOT pass the course.

There are options - take your pick between two of the three options from Cheap/Easy/Fast. If you want Cheap/Easy/Fast - Study.com, stay with them, the final is only worth 66%, other providers, it' a one-time exam like the TECEP, it's all or nothing for those type of exams.
Easy/Fast but not cheap for both - Penn Foster, they are $329/course now, but very easy to complete and fast credits. Cheap/Fast but not easy - TECEP are $117/exam, the Business in Society is a killer exam, 60 or 70% is a pass and many struggle with it...
For Business in Society, your alternative is their Business 308 - Globalization & International Management - it has an assignment.
For Principles of Finance, take it again at Study.com, failing a second time, try Davar Academy - $70, one exam determines the grade.

This is great feedback. I am not familiar with Davar or Penn Foster, TECEP's are definitely not an option I want to pursue. I am considering BUS308...

I would not be worried about BUS 120 international business. I went through all of the lessons in around 4 days and immediately took the final, scoring a 87 out of 100. It is really easy and lots of repeat questions from the quizzes/practice test. Very easy course to finish in under a week.

I took this as well, and while I wouldn't say it was "very easy", it isn't bad. If you already have some familiarity with (or have already taken related courses in) macroeconomics and finance, this course will be a lot easier.
To be honest, none of the Study.com courses are that hard. For the most part, you will easily pass most Study.com courses as long as you pay attention to the material, max out the quizzes, and take one or two practice tests before going into the final exam. I usually just read through everything once, and then go back over the summaries for each unit before I do the practice tests, and then review the practice tests right before the final. I usually spend a week or two per course and my lowest final exam score so far has been a 94%.
As the poster above mentioned, most Study.com courses use the same test bank for the practice tests as the final exam, so if you take a few practice tests and study your failures, you'll cover a good chunk of the questions on the final, which will also help ensure a good score. As long as you score 55% or better on the final exam (assuming you got 100% on the quizzes) you'll pass any course.
