S/O to Study.com for listening to us and implementing changes
#1
Wanted to say thanks to Study for their new progress bar that keeps track of your score, and for the site now keeping me logged in! It's exciting to see a company that not only listens to its patrons but is also actively steam-rolling out new courses! I think you guys are going places! 👍

I looked at Study.com a while ago and didn't think it was for me. I've now taken another look and am very impressed at how many UEXCEL and TECEP aligned study courses there are. I'll be joining next week just for those. Hoping they create even more of those types of courses.

I've been very impressed with study.com and its prompt customer service. I've had a couple of issues but every time I've reported them they were fixed promptly - usually within a few hours and 24 hours at the most. I absolutely love the new quiz grade score - it shows you exactly what you need for the final before you ever take it. And I love that you get the score for the final right on the screen as soon as you submit. No need to worry about if you passed or not.

I have 6-7 classes to complete and I'll probably use study.com for all of them. No point in switching to another source when I've found one that works so well.

I do have one suggestion though... For those of us on the scholarship who can't purchase extra exams... Can we either have access to all six exams at once or access to purchase additional exams? At the end of my first month I had weeks of downtime. I know we can set up a second account but it's a logistical nightmare trying to time courses plus extra exams between accounts. It's almost easier to go elsewhere (which is not my preference!). That one little change would make life so much easier.

Not a complete solution to this, but something to think about - you can always use your Study.com membership to study for courses that you're not going to take through them. For instance, you could use them to study for Marketing or Management, and then take the Saylor exams for $25. It won't align perfectly, but it would certainly be close enough to get you a pass. And Saylor's study materials are so bad for most courses, that Study.com is probably a better option anyway.

I was gonna use Study.com's management course to study for the Principles of Management CLEP. Would you recommend the Saylor course over the CLEP?

I would recommend the Saylor EXAM over the CLEP, simply due to cost and convenience.

I second this!! I have about a month left of mine, finished all my projects and would love to be able to purchase exams and work on some more courses.
