That's the same as Saylor, you pay for the proctor exam fee. The only thing people don't like about these type of courses is - it's pass/fail at 70%.
With Straighterline and Study.com, that percentage drops as it has assignments or exams/midterms in place, the final is only worth 30-66% total.
I added Shmoop to my BALS as it the cheapest courses that are non proctored and they have a whole lot to be set in there, I would as much of it.

For Straighterlines ACC 101, how many points do you need altogether to pass?
Thinking of using Straighterlines course to get my last credits in. The struggle with ACC 101 has been real, and with a few weeks to go for finalizing my graduation, figured I'd give it a shot. Any tips would be great. I've finished Study.com courses in a day, so wondering if it's possible to finish Straighterline courses that quickly as well?

700/1000, like every other SL course. 800/1000 points are available prior to the proctored final, so if you manage to get around an 88% on every assignment, you can just click through the final.
I finished my first SL course in 24 hours plus 30 minutes for my final. My second course took me 9 hours, but I scheduled my final a week out. It's possible, and if you have done well with Study (which you have) you won't have any problems with SL.

Seriously, Besides the CLEP/DSST - Straighterline and Study.com are the best options for almost all courses available.
I would interchange courses (meaning if one is not available, it should be available at the other provider) if possible..
Basically, SL for cheap/easy/fast and Study.com for "high school easy", that's my termed slogan for now at least...
