Study.com - Best Time/Cost Saving Strategy?

[kylan11]

Hi guys!

I'm finally done with all 22 of my Sophia courses (only missing Human Biology + Lab).
So next up, Study.com! I have about 7 courses to take:

Humanities 201 (to fulfill HUM 103: Creative Decision Making)
Business 110 (reportedly fulfilling MAT 140: Business Math as of June 2023)
Accounting 301 (BUS 220: Managerial Accounting)
Finance 101 (BUS 325: Financial Management)
Business 310 (BUS 353: Legal & Ethical Environment of Business)
Business 304 (BUS 240: Change Management)
Business 312 (BUS 415: Operations Management)

Which should, ordinarily, take me about 3 months for a total cost of $580. This includes $170 a month x 3 (with the 30% off coupon) + $70 for the extra exam.

However I'm wondering if there's a way to optimize time and/or money spent by starting out with a Premium Plan, as suggested by the Wiki Page. I really don't know anything about SDC yet, so I'm unsure whether it's worth it money or stress wise.

Suppose I start with the Premium Plan ($60) and take the full month to speedrun every quiz and assignment I can access. I will still need 3 months of College Accelerator to finish off, unless I somehow pass 4 classes in 1 month ($170 + $140) then 3 the next ($170 + $70). Bringing my total to $610. Doesn't seem worth it at first glance, but I'm sure I'm missing something.

Please enlighten me. Thank you!
