Wish I hadn't given Straighterline my money

I don't feel confident in my typing abilities. Sad  Any other self-paced Comp II courses you can think of that you've heard are decent?

I'm in the same boat as you. While I'm a decent writer, when I'm writing academically, I tend to go a lot slower so I'd be concerned that I wouldn't be able to complete the written side quickly enough... or I'd have a hard time organizing my thoughts since my normal process for writing papers wouldn't work well in a proctored test environment. Of course, there are no open CLEP testing centers near me so I couldn't take the CLEP version without a 1-2 hour trip each way.

Most alternative course providers have their own versions of English Comp I and II. I think most here would recommend the Study.com version as it has fewer assignments. I'd also recommend SL English Comp II, but ONLY if you take the teacher-led option.
