Ah so kcollins, you are now an ambassador for straighterline! Have you signed up for DSST testing through straigherline yet? Do they send you to a prometric center or do you do the test with a video proctor?
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

Or you could use code BGS310 which is buy one course get one free.
Just so everyone is aware if you use the code in the OP, that person will get a free course for referring someone.

Hi There,
Just FYI, I used a different code and couldn't use the STUDENTAMB359 code at the same time, but I opened a chat and gave the chat operator the STUDENTAMB359 code, so you should be getting credit for that. Wish me luck in my first final tomorrow.

Going to hopefully start straighterline soon, have a few questions if anyone would could help. Does anyone know if straighterline prohibits finishing too many courses in a relatively short amount of time? Like for example if someone were to do 17 courses in a month, would they have a problem with such a thing? Also, does anyone know if it is absolutely vital to get the latest edition of the text book for a course, or can one get by comfortably with an older edition?
Most exams/finals are multiple choice with a few exceptions? Currently unemployed so I have a lot of time to dedicate to finishing courses, hoping to finish in a short amount

All those straighterline courses were done in one month. Good luck!

I did quite a few very quickly. Many in just a few days time.
There were a couple of courses where an outdated text caused some minor problems. I think sociology was one. Some of the questions asked for a stat from a certain year and the statistic in my textbook was earlier. The majority of the time I could ballpark it. Overall, I would say that the money I saved on older textbooks was well worth the one or two questions I answered incorrectly.

How was microeconomics?

The CLEP is only 80 questions and 90 minutes. I only took it because I failed the CLEP and at the time they wouldn't let me retake it, rant here: http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...-hard.html I had to file an appeal and it took about 30 days to get a response from CLEP that they would let me retake it without the 3 month wait. But at that point, I'd already finished it with Straighterline. Because I had studied for the CLEP exam I sailed through the questions without needing the textbook much. I just slowly chipped away at it while hustling through the other courses. IMO, the CLEP is a much easier option.
