Stupid Study.com Tricks

[DIGI-212]

I've been using them to study for CLEP exams between tests.

My daughter used Study.com to prep for several Clep exams- English Literature, College Algebra, and Biology. These courses were very well aligned to the Clep exams.

Has anyone applied for the Guardian Scholarship recently? I applied on Sunday and haven't heard back yet (I religiously check my promotions and spam folders already since Gmail can never figure out where my emails belong) and I haven't seen anything yet. I've seen everywhere from same day to 3 weeks on here though as far as hearing back goes.
Also, I've seen some people say they might be getting more than 6 free exams on the scholarship. Is that true/possible?

Mine took a couple months....

It took almost a month for mine. Hold tight!

I have one month left so I don’t know yet if I’ll get extra exams. I’m really enjoying study a lot so I’m going to keep working on the last three courses I need from them and pay for them if I don’t get them free.

Keep Posting the Tricks! Hopefully -Study.com will not can make any harder to pass their courses!
Or better yet-maybe ACE will no longer approve their courses.

Yeah, this is not a cool thread.

There’s nothing wrong with this thread. The only thing it does is encourage you that if you are taking a course where you have some prior knowledge, go ahead and click through the quizzes first, get 100s, and then take the final. If you don’t have prior knowledge you better just take the course. That’s what I did with Vietnam War. I had no prior knowledge, so I read every transcript and took detailed notes. There’s no way I would have passed that course by clicking through. However on Engl Comp and Religion I had prior knowledge so it was ok for me to move more quickly through it. How is this different than a CLEP? If you know the material you can go in cold. If not, you better study. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, this is not a cool thread.

If you're not violating the rules, how is this not a cool thread?

No one on this thread appears to be doing anything dishonest with study.com but it would be a bummer if study.com gets some of their ACE courses revoked because of threads like this making their courses look too easy. That is probably unlikely though.

When I see Study.com, I instantly think their courses are "High School Easy".
Just like Straighterline is "Cheap/Easy/Fast" when I write about them...
There's nothing wrong with this thread, these "tricks" are study methods people use to get better grades.
