Credit from services like Sophia.org with no written assignments - BR3_26 - 03-10-2026
I have taken a lot of courses through Sophia.org before they changed to required submissions of written assignments. I am looking for alternative sites and courses to gain additional credits. I would like a site where I can take the quizzes and get feedback, then take the end exam either proctored or not. A lot of Sophia and Strighter line courses now require writing assignments, and I don’t want to do those outside of English-based courses such as English I or English II.

CLEP exams may be your answer but they're gen ed courses for the most part and LL. Where are you looking to transfer the credits to?

Furthermore... You may want to take a look at other alternative credit options from ACE/NCCRS course providers, such as Study.com, Saylor.org, Coursera, EdX, LawShelf, etc. I would also take a look at the posts, threads, WIKI, to see if something interests you at colleges and universities, as a course that may not have assignments...

Coursera might be a good source. I have been working on some of the google certificates, and so far they have optional writing assignments but nothing that is required, and they have a lot of little knowledge-check quizzes to help you prepare for tests. Additionally, every test I've taken so far has the option to be taken multiple times if you don't get a high enough score on your first try. And I'm learning some useful things that apply in my career!
Someone else can pipe up to save the IBM or Microsoft etcetera courses that are recommended for ACE credit have similar structures.
