Humanities 201: Critical Thinking & Analysis

IIRC, people have said that Critical Thinking is easier at WGU. So I'd probably skip that one.

If you've done Sophia Statistics recently, I'd do Business 212 Business Stats ASAP.

Other than that, check which SDC courses have assignments and which are just quizzes + exam. If there are no assignments, it'll be a relatively easy course.

I would just sort them by type of course, and create groups. Then, do the ones that aren't in a group first (Stats, Accounting, Communication), put all of the general business courses together and start with LL and then do UL.

Skip HUM 201, there are too many assignments.

There's not much overlapping in any of these courses, I would go through them by numbering. Usually the lower the number, the easier as it'll be an intro course, so I would start with the 100's, then work on your way up to the 300's. Get all the lower level ones out of the way and see if you can do 5 lower level courses per month, for the upper level ones, they will have assignments so it'll be harder to do that fast, I would pace yourself...

There is a bit of a hack for Study.com in the placement tests.  If you can find a placement test that has similar subjects to a class you are taking, doing that placement test will clear out a lot of the lessons that you have to do.  

Also, you are better off doing all placement tests first, before starting courses to save time.

Do these placement tests first:
https://study.com/academy/course/business-303-management-information-systems.html
https://study.com/academy/course/organizational-behavior-course.html
https://study.com/academy/course/principles-of-management-course.html
https://study.com/academy/course/human-resource-management-course.html

I would also suggest doing these as well:
https://study.com/academy/course/business-113-business-communication.html
https://study.com/academy/course/intro-to-computing-course.html

Then after you get all done, see where you are at.

Do them in number order, that should be fine

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Working on these placement tests now.

Keep in mind also that a course that doesn’t have an assignment
Maybe technically easier but you will have to score higher on the final. Compared to a course that has an assignment. Providing that you do relatively well on the assignment.

I know this is a very old post, what did you wind up doing? I am on the same boat, Study is very hard, some people say classes at WGU are easier, I wish they were all like sophia.

Go in numerical order, usually it's easier going from 100>200>300... You can also decide by going with the subjects you're more familiar with, otherwise, it won't really matter. Make sure to use the Study.com discount (like the one in my bio/signature).
