I personally liked the Penn Foster methodology. The material did not have a lot of fluff added. Just the basics. You are sent your materials and can complete each segment at your own speed. I finished the Financial Management course in a week. Did I read everything? No. I read enough to be able to answer all the questions on the chapter tests (open book)....and I took the final and passed (open book), so I was happy.

I was already familiar with the concepts, so it was a good alternative for me.

PF is not easier than other methods, but it is more convenient.....and a big bonus is that you can retake your final if you bomb the first one. I needed that option to finish my Technical Math course.
