Just signed up for the $199 package and starting with Principles of Marketing. Spent about four hours total and about ⅓ of the way through. Very nice course. Eleven lessons spanning about 80 5-minute videos or written video transcripts with a 5 question quiz after each. I skip the videos and just scan through the transcripts. Much easier and faster than Straighterline type courses. Only downside is that I believe the total grade is attributed to the single proctored final. In other words, the other quizzes are just progress milestones and don't count towards the final grade. I believe the final can be taken a second time for a better grade.

It can be taken again but you need to have 30 days in between final proctored exams and you have to pay for the course again

I just signed up for the accelerated plan, but they put me in a 5 day trial period. Is there any way to bypass this to be able to take the final exam? I have completed all of the practice quizzes and I only have the option to take the practice final exam.
TIA

Thanks, I tried calling multiple numbers throughout the day with no luck. They finally did get back to my email, 2 days later, and said there is no way around the 5 day trial.

I know you're well beyond the free trial at this point, but I wanted to share what I did to bypass the trial in case it helps anyone else out reading this in the future. I signed up for the College Accelerator package and was ready to take a final well before the 5 day trial was over. I canceled my membership and then immediately re-activated it. Took all of 2 minutes. Since I had previously been given a 5 day free trial, it automatically charged me the $199 for my first month and I was able to take the test I wanted to take just as soon as I navigated back to it.
