Transcript Review - Help, which of the big 3?

Be warned that if you have a low score going into the proctored final in Managerial Accounting through Straighterline, you WILL NOT PASS most likely. The final is 75 questions, and about 50% of them are the equations. I had a strong A going into the proctored exam but I got a 65% on the final because I just ran out of time. I still easily passed the course but 75 questions in two hours just isn't enough time, so I aced the definitions stuff, but had to guess in the last 20 mins all of the math because there wasn't enough time to do them.

I suggest Straighterline Managerial Accounting because if you have just finished Acct I & II from Straighterline, it isn't that difficult to just keep going and finish up with Managerial Accounting. There is enough time for the tests and mid-term, to get a good score. The final was the only part I found challenging because of the time constraint.

Thanks for your input, I figured as much from reading other members' experience with this course.

What really sucks about SL and this course is that you're not allowed the use of spreadsheets for their exams. Last Spring and Fall, I finished both Financial and Managerial accounting courses at my CC. I did really well in both (got A's), understood the material, and was able to get by the math questions using excel. My CC courses encouraged the use of a spreadsheet and the books showed you how to do it.

As far as SL, it just doesn't make sense to me why they wouldn't allow the use of spreadsheets for these exams. In fact, the book (they require you to use) teaches you how to answer the questions using excel. o_O

Anyways, I've decided not to continue with the course (for now) and will begin to study for the Money & Banking DSST instead.
