Straighterline -- and vs. Study.com?

[dragonwolf]

I'm not sure if anyone can answer this for me, but it seems like everyone talks about how easy straighterline is because of the open book tests but I'm curious if it's only "easier" because people are looking up the answers on google. My daughter tried taking US History both with study and straighterline and she had a really hard time finding answers in the e-textbook. She didn't feel like the questions on the mid-term or final matched the lecture/slides or questions in the lectures. Thanks!
