Quickest Way To Do Courses - natshar - 01-23-2019
I just want to get my business core done, as I already have half of it done. What's the quickest way to finish these business core requirements? I originally was thinking of CLEP/DSST for all of them except for Accounting 2, but then I realized these tests might be difficult and could take a lot studying, but I'm not sure. So I started onlinedegree for MicroEcon but I was wondering if there was a quicker way. Is Saylor any good for any of these? Study.com? Straighterline? Something else? I'd like the quickest recommendations for each course, so I can just get these over with and finish my degree.
Heres what I have left:
Accounting 1
Accounting 2
Finance
MicroEcon
MacroEcon
Business Law

I watched Crash Course Economics and some of the ACDC Econ videos for a couple of weeks, then took the Macro Econ CLEP. Scored a 53. Low, sure, but a pass is a pass.

It really depends on what you're good at. If you're a really good test-taker, then you might want to find ways to quickly study for these and take the CLEP/DSST/TECEP for them.
If you'd rather take a course, then Study.com/SL is probably going to be your best bet.
For testing:
CLEP - Financial Acct, Macro, Micro, Business Law
DSST - Finance
TECEP - Managerial Accounting
For courses, Study.com has them all; SL doesn't have Finance, but has everything else.
Saylor has them all as well, but I have NO idea whether the courses for them are any good - it's a very mixed bag there. You can always take the practice final exam, see how you do as to if you need to study, and use other sources if their material is crappy.

Davar is the fastest. All you have to do is read their slides a couple of times. Studying for Saylor will take as long as or longer than studying for CLEP/DSST.
I don't know if the Instantcert flashcards are up to date, but I only had to read through them once for easy subjects and twice for more difficult subjects.

I forgot about Davar! Yes, those are good choices as well. And the price is right, especially if you can get a sale.
