I should mention that some of the threads/discussions are older, but there are some good suggestions (using IC/InstantCert, etc).

My 17 year old son is making his way through US History II on Shmoop.com and is enjoying it! If the college that you are considering accepts ACE credit, this could be an option. It is about $87 for a month and you could easily do that class in a month. What's great is they offer an assortment of Literature, History, and Math classes and you can complete as many as you can get through in a month!

God Bless him, I though the two U.S. History classes were horrible. Modern European History was much much better of a course. Just my 2 cents!

Agreed - my son struggled through US History 2 on Shmoop, only to discover WGU doesn't accept credits from Shmoop. He was not pleased. Fortunately he was able to zip through the course on Straighterline in 2 or 3 days.

Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice

Maybe if you wanted to take a free college course, it would be a good option. The bad part is that you can't get college credit for it without paying $325. That's a lot of money for a course that you can take at a CC for ½ that price, and from places on here for ⅓ of that cost.
If you just want to use the resources, that's great. I'm sure it's set up much better than Saylor.
And if you had a HS student who wanted to see what a college-level course was like, but you didn't want to commit to paying for it, this might be a good option as well. You could always take a CLEP exam after you were done to actually get the credit (or another method we use on here).
