Study.com’s 5 exam limit - Gradgreat - 03-12-2021
Hi. Is there anyway to take 6 exams in a billing cycle with study.com on the college accelerator plan? Their customer service insists that 5 is the limit. Has anyone been able to find a work around for this?

Nope. Someone tried within the past year and it didn't work. If you need to take 6 exams then 2 months/billing cycles is the bare minimum.

There is no workaround for this, the hard limit is 5 per month billing cycle. Having said that, I did 7 at the most within the month! I still needed to pay for two months as it essentially was 4 exams with the 3 extra at $70/each. I wrote about this a few months back, I did two exams on the last day or two of the billing date. I did 3 more exams during the first two weeks of the next billing month, then I tried to do another exam. There was a popup that said that I have done 5 exams during the month, but allowed me to do two more. So, I did two more to round out the 7 lower level courses.
OP. I'm not sure what you're trying to do or how many courses you need, if they're all lower level, doing 5 should be the max I recommend, if you're doing some upper level, then up to max of 3-4 as there are assignments for upper level courses. I assume you have 6 more courses at study.com to take and don't want to pay for an extra month subscription. I would advise you to do this - 2 months, 3 courses/month, especially if you're going for upper level courses, spend some time getting better assignment grades just in case you need it in the future...
