It depends on the person. Just 1 exam is sometimes the best. At Study.com it's usually around 100-120 quizzes before the final. It depends on the course. They help prepare you for the final.

Yes, Saylor courses are a little disorderly, they are cheap but I don't want my "grade" be determined by 1 pass/fail test. Davar is similar too this.

Really, it's possible to have that many credits using Straighterline and Study.com, Straighterline for cheap/easy/fast credits.
Study.com for ease... sometimes I find their material has some repetition in the quizzes, but it's all good to help retain info.

Thank you . Yes and thats what i was hoping to find out befor diving all in. I suppose it would be best to create a road map here at this time rather than following a certain way and finding out later that if i went another route , it could have been a lot better . Hopefully some will have some information on the courses

I am sure it is for a lot of people and i would do that too for some of the courses i am sure . I have been thinking that knocking off as many courses as possible as soon as possible would be the fist step after which i would probably have to slow down at courses which would take a lot of time before examination .

I think everyone has a different preference so it really depends on what you want. For me, I don't like all-or-nothing courses so I try to avoid those. I like Straighterline and I've been pleased with Study.com in the small amount of time I've been using it. Wasn't a huge fan of the Saylor course I took through SL; it was Statistics and I felt like the information was really confusing and hard to learn. Trying again with SL's Business Stats.
As far as what classes go where, you're gonna have to get out a spreadsheet and figure out what you want to take and where it will fit...I would look at StraighterLine and Study.com's equivalency guides to give you an idea.
I'm also doing BSBA GM so you can check out my thread for what I'm doing. I have credits I'm transferring in from Liberty but most are SC/SL.
