Folks,
I have 11 Days before the next billing cycle, I have the books and the time, should I go for it? I don't really have any prior knowledge of the subject, has anyone taken this class within this short amount of time?
Thanks all.

While I haven't taken Micro or Macro through SL, I did do all 3 accounting classes in a month while working full time+. I'd say if you've got plenty of time available, GO FOR IT! If you've been accustomed to self-study for CLEPs, DSSTs, etc, I'm sure you'll have no problem. Just set a schedule and be sure to keep up that pace or better. Get an old copy of the text (doesn't have to be the current version) to have on hand before you actually take any graded quizzes. But you probably know the drill already.
Good Luck!

Thank you.

I would say go for it, but don't kill yourself. So what if you go another month on the billing cycle but learn more about macro in the process? You're still getting a great deal for the price.
Macro isn't difficult, but it also isn't necessarily easy if the concepts are new to you. AND keep in mind that there are roughly 19 exams in macro unless they've changed it since I took it. This is NOT the same as the 6-exam accounting courses. There is a macro exam for each chapter and even if you can do a chapter exam without any prior study or reading, you're still looking at a minimum of an hour each test.
Not trying to contradict others in the thread, but I only have a couple hours a day to dedicate to studying. I could not do this in 11 days, but even if I did have all day, every day, I'm not sure I would try to get through it quite that quickly.
