I glanced at the book, shuddered, and put it aside. You're probably right!

I would definitely recommend Business Law from Saylor instead of StraighterLine. I studied ~3 hours and got a 62% in my first attempt (YMMV)-- this was the first Saylor exam I failed in my first attempt.

Just the unit quizzes (just Googling anything I didn't understand) and practice final
