Completed Basic Accounting. Passed Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting years ago, but one of my degree options requires a "lesser" accounting, so this should cover that requirement.
Completed Ethics. I have a 2-credit Ethics, but Sophia's may count for 3 on transfer.
Completed Ancient Greek Philosophers. It is a subject I know, so knocked it out real quick.... but doubt it'll help with any requirements.
Statistics was the toughest, it took me most of a day just to get through the 5th module.
So, 15 credits since Sunday afternoon!
I finished Accounting just 5 min before the clock turn over, and I select 2 extra courses English 1 and 2, i need time to finished this 2 so in impossible to get it done in this short time.

That 5th Statistics module is an absolute BEAST!!! Suggest people take the practice milestone before attempting the real one. It's a killer and takes forever.

Signed up for the finance course yesterday. Gotta feeling it's going to be tough. No videos. If they don't have explanations for wrong answers, I don't know if I'll succeed. That's the only thing that helped me get through stats. Videos and explanations,please, Sophia.

Finance is very, very straightforward and much easier than Accounting was. That being said, there are some errors in the text and some parts missing from the PDF/Online text that appears in the Challenge. It only affected 2 questions throughout the entire course for me and had to do with risk so it was easy to guess. Just a heads up, but really, finance isn't so bad.
Goal: Anything. Just need the paper.

If you're not rushing through it like I did, it should be much easier to do. At least a couple of the questions that I got wrong towards the end were because I was just plain tired and read the question incorrectly (LIFO vs. FIFO - super easy question, IMO, but I got it wrong because I read the question backward). Of course, there is also that one equation that came up 3 or 4 times and I missed it every time because there were no explanations. Maybe if I'd read the text more thoroughly, I'd have found out that I was missing a step somewhere.

Thanks for the tip! I never take the practice milestones so this is excellent info.

I always take the practice milestones because a lot of the same questions are in both. Or very close to the same question. For instance, in the practice milestone you might get asked "what is the opposite of up" and then in the actual milestone you get asked "what is the opposite of down". You're much more likely to actually pass the regular milestone, even if you didn't do that well on the practice.

With the time crunch, I barely got in the courses I wanted as it was. I really didn't have time for the practice milestones. I will take them with stats now that I see that they will help. Math is not my BFF.

I took the 5th practice milestone and failed badly. Took it a 2nd time and failed, but a HIGH "F" ![Wink Wink](https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/images/smilies/wink.png) . So I went back over the things I missed and made sure I knew them. Got a 92% on the 5th milestone, and an 89% overall.

I left here my motivation I have never study so hard in one month I can not even believe it I put my ACE transcript to motivate others to finish their courses if I can you can also.
