Saylor Study Methods
#1
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.

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.

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.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
