Davar has been a godsend for speed and cost, but the problems in their system also became evident during this entire process.
Oh most definitely - you have to realize who their primary target audience is and realize we don't fit into that rubric AT ALL.

I have pushed myself to complete Meteorology. I don't have many thoughts on the exam. It is nice that Davar offers this interesting subject.
Although I am completing many in a short time, I want to say again that I am putting in a lot of hard hours. I am impressed with Davar in general. I think that overall there could be a little more consistency, but I feel that even the easier exams are solid. I felt that even Public Speaking required learning and knowing how to explain concepts for the essays. I feel that getting credits at Davar is harder than many of the Study.com courses.
I am not looking forward to studying for Multinational Business Finance. Not because I think it will be harder, but because I am tired. But I am very glad to be testing my overall capabilities because of this Davar special.
I am still nervous about the essay topics for Earth Science.

The essay topics that I had for Earth Sciene were definitely covered in the .pdf, I honestly had a harder time with the multiple choice for this one since it covrerd so many aspects. But I found that everything in the exam was convered in the PDF. Also, I'd pay attention to all of the picture models displayed because they have specific questions pertaining to them. I didn't study the quizzes at all, so if you carefully study just the PDF you'll be fine.

Thank you, strawberryxfuzz.
I am kind of sad that I am nearing the end of my run  But I will keep busy with TECEPs, Study.com, SL, a Saylor, CLEPs, cc classes, etc!
I looked at the College Algebra PDF, just for fun, and was disappointed it has a section on Probabilities. In general, it looks hard. It would be fun to know what I could score on it, without studying, but I am not going to spend the time and $15. I also don't want to feel like I am worse at math than I already feel.

I am studying for Multinational Business Finance, and it's making me feel stupid. I know it's not just me, and it will get better as I learn more from the textbook. For a couple prior courses, I felt I wasted a lot of time trying to find relevant videos, so I try not to spend much time searching. I had hoped that the other Finance, Business, and Economics courses would have helped more with this one.
If I had known better, I would have done some harder courses earlier. Corporate Finance seemed harder than this one, however.
I wish Davar had more Finance courses. I'm thinking of doing a Finance concentration.

I had originally planned to do the finance courses, but the other courses took too long and I ran out of time  . That said, I did look through the slides for Corporate Finance (although not International Finance), and I have to say, that these are "real" courses/tests. It is very impressive that you were able to take Corporate Finance just by using the slides, without a finance background! Just to put this in context, when I missed a class in my "real" finance class, I was unable to do the homework just by reading the book - even though in other subjects I never had this problem.
Good luck to you on your test!

Thanks for making me feel a bit smarter. I need it after that math disaster  I did have to watch some videos and do other reading. It reminded me of economics, which can be tricky too. A bit was from accounting and a little was just business legal/tax.
I wonder if Davar will do an unlimited deal again. I know some of us did a lot, but if they had enough people who only did a reasonable amount, they might think it's worth it.
Thanks!

I hope they will. I didn't get as much done as I hoped, and I failed Organizational Behavior which I need. I didn't do well enough on the essays. so far I have 3 passes 2 fails and I am working on right now ;( It happens though but I also got two study.com courses done so there's that.

It costs more, but there's DSST Org Behavior. You probably know that. But I think it would be a lot easier than Davar's.
