Math courses may expect (but do not require) a calculator. You'll probably make your life easier, however, if you do have a good allowed calculator to use.

Some SDC courses are easier than others. For instance, discrete math is, apparently, one of the more difficult courses. Others can be finished in just a couple of days. Check the review thread to see if the courses you're needing to take have been reviewed there.

Thank you.  Fortunately, I'm all done with math.  Need to finish 12 UL's, American Government, Intro to World Religions.  So, if I use Premium Edition, what is the additional fee to test?  Or do I have to switch to the Accelerator option to test?

You must switch to the accelerator option to test. 

If you need government, InstantCert is going to be a cheaper option for you. $20 + proctoring fee.

You should email TESU and ask to see if you can take some UL business courses towards the AOS, as they have a BALS GM option, I doubt it though, but doesn't hurt to ask.  If they do accept some courses, such as Economics/Finance, you can do the Davar Academy Business Membership for 2 courses at $99+proctor fee of $15 each.  That will net you 6 UL credits, an option is to take the CIS/Economics courses.  It's just slides from a presentation and exam, I don't know if there are assignments.

Thank you for your response.  What is the AOS and a BALS GM?  I was planning on taking mostly UL Business classes to complete, possibly pursuing an MBA.

Do people find Davar is like CLEP?  Again, looking for the path of least resistance.  Sounds like Study.com prepares one for the final exam, cut and dry?
