That depends on what format you prefer. A few options:

Finance: Davar, Study.com
Business Society: International Business through Study.com, Davar
Communications: Saylor, Study.com, SL, Davar
1 cr Natural World: You probably won't find a 1 cr class but OnlineDegree.com offers some (such as Astronomy/Cosmology) that are only $9 each

Looking for the fastest! I’ve never used Davar or Saylor but thinking they might be good options. I’ve only used SL and SDC

In either case, how fast you can complete it is based on how well you know the material or whether you want to try taking the exam cold without studying.

Davar and Saylor are both credit by examination. Saylor has a (free) course associated with it, but you don't need to take the course. You can take the quizzes or practice exam to see how well you know the material first, or you can jump right into the direct credit exam for credit. For Davar, they let you download free study materials (a really long set of PowerPoint slides) that you can review at your own pace, then you pay and register for the exam.

Muldoon, did you like Davar? did you find their guides prepared you for the exam?

I actually haven't taken any of their exams yet, I'm still working my way through the lengthy study materials. What I've looked at so far seems fairly straightforward though. If I can get through enough material in time, I'm planning on taking some exams over the Thanksgiving weekend, so I'd be happy to give my opinion when/if that happens.

Sorry, I ended up not taking the Davar exam when I first planned. I've since taken Organizational Behavior. I don't know if the other courses are different, but for this one, the exam questions were verbatim from the slides. There were maybe 3 questions that weren't in the slides and I had to guess, but the rest were pretty easy. I did review the quizzes too and don't recall seeing any questions from them. I did have trouble with the short answer questions because it was hard to recall exactly what was on the slides from memory, but I still passed.

I definitely recommend re-reading the slides right before you take the exam so it's still fresh in your mind.

Overall, yes, I enjoyed Davar and would recommend them.
