Low cost ACE reviewed history courses from Shmoop.com

I am working my way through the other two classes, the type of questions and format are the same. The only difference I see is number of units varies from 11 to 14, the weight of the scoring for the unit tests and final changes some between them.

The first two sections of the modern U.S. history were covered some in the previous course. I have not gone very far in the European history course, but some of the topics look similar to the U.S course (WWI, WWII, etc), so there might be some overlap. The modern U.S history has the most units, but might be a little easier for some just because it is dealing with more recent history.

@edward- that is really good to know. I definitely agree not to let my experience discourage you. It is also entirely possible that I went into the course with the wrong mindset. I think the course just probably needs more focus than I gave to it. For the price of the credits I would definitely try the 24-hour trial and see what you think. I'm still debating myself on if I should just sign up and go for it just because of the price alone. I don't really need the History credits but if I got them I could take the risk that Study.com will have more classes in the future like some of the accounting courses that I could move around. Worst-case scenario would be that I spent $25 on credits that won't fit into my plan.

@edward- did you take all three courses? If so, would you say all three are pretty comparable with the types of questions? I assume they are but it would be cool to get confirmation.
