Easiest Straighterline...

I would suggest a DSST Exam - Intro to Religion or Intro to Computers. Leaving the traditional system, I was beat down and not confident. Then I found this site. I studied for, took and passed the US History 1 CLEP as my first goal. It was hard. Not a good starter test but once I did it I felt like I could do anything. With the help of the specific feedback section on this site I passed the above 2 DSST exams fairly quickly. That was all me studying and achieving. It was the confidence booster I needed.

Since then I have done (and are doing) several SL courses. The problem is that I don't enjoy the process as much as testing out. SL course content that is on the test is not always in the videos, practice questions, etc. SL tests are (usually) directly from the book and unless you are a great reader who can find that one sentence very quickly, you may not do as well. I still pass them but usually not by much.

I think playing on strengths will be huge for this student. If they learn better with documentaries, practice tests, and reading all combined - I would say test out.

If they are just a good reader who remembers great detail, I would say SL would be fine.

Just my experience. Hope it helps a bit.
