Hello,
I'm a TESU student. I plan to start taking my first study.com courses. If anyone has a Referral Code I could use, I would greatly appreciate it!
Also, if anyone has any tips on how to save money using study.com, I would also really appreciate it. I plan on taking 4 upper level Psychology courses and maybe some lower level classes. Though I might use a different website for the lower level ones since I think it will be cheaper.
I believe that you can take 2 tests per month and then it's $70 for any other exam you take that month. I'm going to try to take all 4 tests in one month.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have that right. That's currently about the only way to save money at SDC right now is doing3+ classes a month and/or using a referral code. So the best way to save money is to do your best to save time:
-take placement tests for the courses that offer it
-watch videos @1.5 or 2x speed
-skip the video and just read/skim the transcript
-watch videos/read transcripts on your phone while multitasking(eating, on break, brushing teeth, do tasks around the house, during a commute if public transportation, during any down time at all)

Thanks! Those are really great tips! I didn't even know about the Placements Tests, I just looked them up now. That's a very helpful thing to know.
Thank-you very much for your response! I really appreciate it.

Since you're doing a bunch of UL courses that require written papers: don't stress for a long period over writing a "perfect" paper. I'd just write a "decent" or "good" paper, and if you need a higher grade you can resubmit it 1-2 times to make corrections and get higher marks on it.

Thank-you so much! You are giving me so much information that I didn't know anything about.
And I definitely needed that advice about the papers because I do stress about papers, a lot! I will calm down about them.
Again, thank-you!
