It is absolutely necessary to read whole text book for SL course??

Thank you so much for your feedback.

The main issue is the budget, study,com is more expensive that SL, SL will be cheaper if you are able to do a lot of courses per month.

But with study the experience will be better you say.

They break down to be pretty close to the same cost per credit if you're looking at doing 5 courses per month. Or at least it is close enough not to worry about.

It also depends on which courses you're doing with SL since they vary in price from $59 to $129 each, plus the $99/mo subscription. WIth Study.com, you're effectively paying $99 each for the first two courses and then $70 each after that.

I took courses from both, and they each have their pro's and con's, but overall I prefer Study.com. I found their courses to be more streamlined and the material easier to absorb since it was more focused and I didn't have to read a huge textbook. I'd think this would be even more of an advantage for a non-native English language speaker/reader.
