Which Study.com plan did you pick? - collegechick - 09-25-2020
Need to wrap up 18 credits on Study.com. There's three levels - Basic Edition, Premium Addition, College Accelerator. Which one did you pick? Most helpful for quickly going through them?
Thank you.

You don't get college credit for any of them but college accelerator, so if you want credits you have to pick that one
the other two are just for studying

The only one that offers the exams that are required for college credit (2 included in the month) is the College Accelerator.

Thank you for the helpful info.

You can use the premium to study and take all the quizzes then switch to college accelerator when you're ready to take the exam(s). This could save you some money depending on how long it takes you to go through the courses.

This is helpful, thank you. I've never taken a class through Study. How difficult are they? Is all the material provided or do you have to buy books or additional info?

You do not have to purchase anything addtional when taking a SDC course. The exceptions are a few literature courses (where you are expected to acquire books from a given list, some of which may be free and in the public domain while others will cost money) and the science courses with lab where you are expected to purchase a particular lab kit. 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 only need 12 UL credits from them (UL have assignments), choose anything that interests you and will fit in the Liberal Arts. Your Capstone and the TEEX Death Investigation count towards 6 UL credits already, you need a total of 18 UL for the BALS. You can take courses from other providers too, but here is their transfer guide to TESU: https://study.com/college/school/thomas-edison-state-university.html
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?
