There is no obligation for you to finish a Saylor course, if it turns out not to be right for you. Yes, you can enroll in as many (or as few) as you want. I have several courses open myself, not sure how many I will or will not test out of.
I was incorrect in calling it a "practice exam". Saylor courses have two exams: the "certificate" exam and the "direct credit" exam. For the certificate exam:
If you can pass the certificate exam with a score of about 90%, you should be good for the Direct Credit exam. Even though the Direct Credit exams only require 70% to pass, they are usually more difficult than the Certificate exam. Since you can only take the Direct Credit exams 3x each, you want to be as sure as possible that you will pass.

Take this exam if you want to earn a free Course Completion Certificate.
To receive a free Course Completion Certificate, you will need to earn a grade of 70% or higher on this final exam. Your grade for the exam will be calculated as soon as you complete it. If you do not pass the exam on your first try, you can take it again as many times as you want, with a 7-day waiting period between each attempt.
Once you pass this final exam, you will be awarded a free Course Completion Certificate.
If you can pass the certificate exam with a score of about 90%, you should be good for the Direct Credit exam. Even though the Direct Credit exams only require 70% to pass, they are usually more difficult than the Certificate exam. Since you can only take the Direct Credit exams 3x each, you want to be as sure as possible that you will pass.
