Which WGU transfer sources are the quickest? - AW84 - 08-08-2021
I got through SL courses in about 2-2.5 weeks each, spending maybe 2-4 hours a night on them, but only had a very limited number of courses left that they offer. Study.com and Saylor both have a lot of classes I still need.
I started BUS402 Project Mgmt at Saylor thinking I'd save some money, but the amount of time the course will take is INSANE. The course has 109 study units, and after 40-50 hours of time invested, I'm only 13 units in, so it will take me literally months to get through this one class, and then I'll enter the final with no idea what parts of those hundreds of hours of material is on it. Are all Saylor classes this insurmountably gigantic?
Is Study.com a quicker resource to accelerate through like SL? Any other places I'm not thinking of? I just simply cannot justify spending 3, 4, 5 months on one single online course, which is what it seems Saylor might be.

I've heard things about how long it can take Saylor courses to get added to your transcript. If speed is necessary, I would definitely recommend SDC over Saylor. You can complete anywhere between 2-5 courses at SDC per month. Depends on whether the courses in question require papers or just exams. Exams after the first 2 exams in a month cost $70 each. So it'd be $200 if you just do the 2 exams, $270 for 3 exams, and so on.

SDC or Sophia are my recommendations. Not sure what all courses you need but I was able to complete project management through sophia within days.
