Having the right textbook is VITAL - he used the hell out of his book for all tests and the open book final. Many of the test questions came word-for-word from the text. I believe you can also have one sheet of notes, back and forth, so if you have certain things you struggle with on the tests, you can print out the questions/answers or relevant information to help you. My son found the final exam really difficult and scored only around a 60% on it, but his score going in was 87% so he still passed the course.
If you want to try some other courses which might be easier, I've read that business law is generally regarded as the hardest non-science course on SL. My son breezed through US History, Intro to Business, Environmental Science, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Business Ethics, all in a 30 day period. He pre-read most of the textbooks before he began his subscription in order to make the most of his time. It turned out to be a good plan!
That is really impressive by your son! Also, I have to ask if your username has anything to do with Rowan University in NJ?
