Fastest course options?

[sanantone]

if you dont want to do TECEPs or CLEPS for those, i would do all of them at Study.com

In a previous thread, the OP said that he/she didn't like SDC's format.

I don't find SDC particularly fast. Other than TEEX, it was the slowest alternative credit option I attempted.

I feel that fast is relative. It is really about personal learning style and approach coupled with the amount of prior knowledge someone has on the subject.

The bulk of my credits were earned via Study.com and Straighterline. I found that I could almost always get through the Study.com courses more quickly than Straighterline (that typically included the time needed to take all the SDC chapter practice tests and complete any projects or written assignments). But I feel that was mainly because SDC provided more concise study materials where SL provided textbooks which took much longer to read through and filter for useful details to base notes on. I could generally complete 3-5 courses per month via SDC while I could only get through 2-3 per month at SL.

Yes, SDC courses have a ton of quizzes but those never bothered me. They usually only take a few moments to complete and I felt that they helped me retain the knowledge gained via the readings.

Then again, aside from the TEEX courses which were quick because I had prior knowledge, the only other examples I have are the free Sophia courses, which also seemed quick, but I have yet to take any of their normal 3 credit courses, so I can't be sure how they compare.

I know some people who find CLEP/DSST exams to be the fastest way to earn credits, which I can see with the right study materials, but they were not the fastest for me; I believe I ended up spending 3-4 weeks prepping for each exam.

My post is relative to the OP's preferences. The OP previously stated that he or she did not like SDC's format. 

Learning preferences and aptitude do factor in to it. I don't want to sit at my computer all day for two to five days watching excruciatingly boring videos and taking quizzes. I can study for a test in 1 to 4 hours. I rarely spend more than a few hours studying for a test.

CLEP, Uexcel, and DSST can be inconvenient for some, so I previously recommended TECEP, Davar, Saylor, and CSU Global.
