Are study.com psychology courses easy and very doable or hard? - whiverem - 01-18-2025
And how long might it take to finish one?
I'm only interested in ones that transfer to and apply to the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) bachelor's degree psychology major. It seems like it would be these courses at study.com:
- Psychology 104: Social Psychology
- Psychology 105: Research Methods in Psychology
- Psychology 311: Physiological Psychology
- Psychology 302: Cognitive Psychology
- Psychology 306: Advanced Abnormal Psychology
Are there pre-requisites for these at study.com? Can you do them in any order? I'd really appreciate it if I can find this out.
If I can do at least 3 of these, like 104, 302, and 306 I can graduate a lot faster and in no time, and at a much lower price tag.
Do you have to write anything, like an essay, or are you just taking quizes and tests to pass? Can you take quizes or tests unlimited number of times, or is there a limit, without paying more? Lots of thank you.

Quizes can be repeated up to 3 times and then the last grade stays. Quizzes from a course might overlap with other courses, so you won't necessarily have to retake every topic over and over again. Get the highest grade possible on the quizzes so that you can still pass the course even if you don't get perfect scores on the assignments or final proctored exam. Placement tests can help you speed up the courses immensely. The same quiz questions will be in the placement test, so even if you can no longer continue accelerating because you have surpassed the maximum % of the course that can be accelerated, you will already be familiar with the questions and could finish the course faster. If you are already familiar with the material, you could grind placement tests and finish the quizzes in 3-4 hours at the fastest. Exam questions on the final will be different from the quizzes.
