modern states courses and Saylor tests or study.com?

[MNomadic]

I am trying to do this the easiest and fastest way possible.... but money isn't growing on trees either. Someone mentioned doing Modern States to learn the materials and then doing the cheap Saylor or OD finals, but I've had someone recommend biting the bullet and doing study dot com, and just spending the money and trying to get 2 in a month.  I have a lot of kids and they are ALWAYS around, lol. Easy and fast is really important but with a lot of kids, so is money...  has anyone found that they breeze through study.com courses because of how they're laid out? I keep hearing the Saylor courses are more tedious and monotonous so I would love to avoid that aspect but the cost of the tests draws me back.  Aiming for TESU BSBA in marketing.  Started with CSM Learn today!

Excellent choice with CSM. You can take as much or as little time as you need for that course and it's pretty cheap. I also recommend checking out the free courses from Sophia, the institutes and possibly TEEX:

Since you mentioned modernstates and money being a factor, I recommend you try modernstates before study.com. You can use modernstates to study for your CLEPs, use some other free/cheap materials to supplement your studies then get a free voucher for a CLEP from modernstates to take the Clep for free. If you fail it or at any point decide it's not for you, you can always switch to study.com, straighterline or any other provider without being out much, if any, money. 

You can also always try Saylor and OD for free. They're both completely free except for the test proctor fees so if at any point you decide you don't like those platforms, you can always switch.

Good luck!
