StraighterLine Course Advice

[ryoder]

I completed 3 courses in one month Biz Comm, Accounting I&II and then completed A&P I&II in one month later on.
If all you are working on is straighterline and you know the material a bit, you will be able to complete 5 in one or two months.

Once you do that, I would seriously consider your alternatives to WGU. WGU is fine but they don't give you any level of confidence about what you can test out of and any "credits" you accumulate there do not transfer out. If you did these SL classes and then transferred them to TESC or Exelsior or COSC, they would sit on your transcript as completed courses and you can take it from there. You can add CLEP/DSST/Aleks and other sources from any RA college at any time. The options for credit are amazing. They will also transfer in your old credits. TESC is great. They gave me full credit for classes I took in 1994.

Before taking a single straighterline class, go read the syllabus and order the books for them. Make sure the books come in, then read some of the chapters in the books. The classes are basically a series of tests so if you treat SL like a CLEP test and do your studying first, you can complete a class in 2 days of testing.

So in reality you should be able to get books, read them, then sign up and take the tests when you are ready and get 5 classes for $100 + 5*$39. Its a steal.
