Where can I find a cheap college-level writing/composition course
#1
Hello everyone Smile

I am a Chinese student who is preparing to apply to one of the Big 3 schools in the US. However, I did not pass the IELTS or TOEFL exam, so I am looking to complete a college-level writing/composition course or earn 9 credits at a school in the US to fulfill the requirement. Where can I cheaply complete this?

Cheapest would be TEL Learning. They're $200 per course. Each course has 2 proctored exams and multiple assignments.

TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)

I tried the second one and must say it worths it

I´m doing Quantitative Analysis I in Tel Learning.

It´s a lot of work, but it´s very doable.

You can´t just jump to the final exam, there are many little quizzes and activities to complete in order to earn points.

Hello from Shanghai. Do you mean that your result was below 79/6.5, or that you didn't try to take either exam?

No, I haven't participated in any exams. It takes too much time.
