Saylor Study Methods

[Muldoon]

In another thread, someone mentioned being able to pass Saylor's Environmental Ethics exam by taking the quizzes and practice final, and studying the answers.

Are there are any other Saylor Direct courses that can be passed quickly in this manner?

If not, any suggestions for passing the exams without taking the entire course? I took the practice exams and need to study a bit more (likely by Googling the terms for the questions I missed, but I don't know if that'll be enough), and I don't want to slog through the whole course if there's an easier way.

Bump. I may be doing a few saylor courses in a month or 2 and am also wondering what methods people have used to succeed.

I took Saylor's Direct Credit Microeconomics and Psychology exams.. both were, without a doubt, more difficult than the practice finals.  I would make sure to read their course materials.

I always slogged through the course.

Business Communication was, IMO, the easiest one to pass based on my son's experiences and what he told me. He attempted both Economics by just doing the quizzes and practice test and studying that, and he failed both by a few percent.
