Questions about the best way to finish gen eds or electives before starting at WGU come up often. Study.com has made a few updates recently that may make it a more convenient option for some learners. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new and why it might matter for WGU-bound students:
 
Pricing and flexibility: Study.com’s new $95/month plan can work well if you’re completing multiple courses in a short time. With open-book finals and quick grading, it’s easier to stay productive throughout a billing cycle.
 
Course variety: Their catalog covers a broad mix of subjects, which can make it simpler to find everything needed for WGU degree requirements in one place.
 
No more proctored finals: Open-book, open-note exams remove the need to schedule or sit through proctoring — a nice change for anyone juggling work or family commitments
 
Fast grading: Assignments are typically graded within a couple of days, helping students stay on track when trying to finish courses before starting at WGU.
 
Course structure: Lessons are short videos, which some people find helps maintain focus compared to longer formats.
 
These updates could be useful for students looking for more flexibility.

Study.com has definitely become a more viable option for those looking to save more money while also reducing stress from proctored exams. The last time I used Study.com and Straighterline was back when they were still very expensive for only a few courses and still proctored their exams via webcam. If I was looking to gain more Gen Eds, I would definitely select Sophia Learning ----> Study.com ----> Straighterline in that order.
