Hi everyone I am interested if anyone used Study.com prep materials to take Saylor.org exams for college credits? I saw some posts but I never really got full picture. Was it successful or were study.com materials too disconnected with Saylor? Any information on the topic will be greatly appreciated

I haven't, but I'd certainly give it a shot.
What you don't want to do though, is PAY for Study.com when you can get Saylor courses for free. Now, if you're already in a Study.com membership, and feel like doing an additional course to study for a Saylor course, that's a good option. For instance, let's say you decide you want to take Financial Accounting and International Business at Study.com and get college credit for those. It certainly wouldn't hurt to go ahead and also study Macroeconomics, and then take the Saylor exam for $25, rather than the Study.com exam (3rd of the month) for $70.

Thanks for reply. I have membership at study.com but for $59.99. Since its costly to take 5 exams monthly at study.com. It would be amazing to use their material to pass saylor exams. Just really hope study.com offers enough to pass saylor exams

No guarantee, since each course provider builds each course themselves. It would be like taking a course at College A, then going to take the final for the course taught at College B. It may or may not match up. But some courses/exams are fairly general, and you can probably pass.

Seems like an interesting method to getting around SDC's 5 exam per month limit if you are one of the faster people out there.

Not only faster but also much cheaper. Hopefully it will work
