I don't see how taking 100 quizzes is faster than taking one test. Davar and CSU Global require one test. I only spent a couple of hours studying for the Davar exams.

Edit: I forgot that CSU Global now requires a handful of quizzes, and they moved the essay from the exam to a separate assignment. It's still a lot less than SDC.

I agree - a single test is ALWAYS going to be faster than a course (any course).  Now, studying for the test may take a certain amount of time, at which point no one can tell you which would be faster.

But if you know the material and just need to brush up, then a test is the way to go.  This is especially true with an UL exam, which would take 1-3 papers/projects through Study.com.

Not saying that Study.com isn't a good option, but it's certainly not the fastest option in many scenarios.  Anyone who tells you that hasn't taken a test.
