The official guide to courses by Straighterline, Study, et al: We want YOUR input!
Provider: Straighterline
Course: Western Civilization I 
Course content: Ebook, slideshow
Final exam format: 50 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Very similar, maybe two surprises. 
Time taken on course: 2 days
Familiarity with subject before course: I read a lot, so, mild familiarity
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Open book tests, but, still want to be familiar because some of the questions require you to actually understand. 
1-10 Difficulty level: 2. Open book format makes this pretty low risk. You do not need to do the slideshow presentation, all of the information you need is in the ebook. 

Provider: Straighterline
Course: American Government
Course content: Ebook, slideshow
Final exam format: 50 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: There were quite a few unfamiliar things. be careful on previous tests so that you don't need a great final grade. Final is closed book. 
Time taken on course: 2 days
Familiarity with subject before course: Casual familiarity- some of the history content was foreign to me and I'm bad at dates. 
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Open book tests except for the final. Still want to actually read the material or you may run out of time trying to find the answer in the ebook. 
1-10 Difficulty level: 3. Open book format makes this pretty low risk. You do not need to do the slideshow presentation, all of the information you need is in the ebook. 

Provider: Straighterline
Course: Intro to Religion
Course content: Ebook, slideshow
Final exam format: 50 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: No surprises, I recognized around 25% of the questions from my previous tests. A couple weird questions, but, just don't waste time on them, just best guess and move on. 
Time taken on course: 2 days
Familiarity with subject before course: Familiar with around half of the material. Other half was unfamiliar. 
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: Open book tests. The midterm is more challenging than the two previous tests. There are several questions where you cannot just find the answer in the ebook, you have to actually understand the chapter to answer the question. 
1-10 Difficulty level: 3. Open book format. Nothing too tricky.
