Straighterline New Course - Book List - durandtheman - 10-20-2011
Hi All,
I just got a message back from the Straighterline team about some of their new courses I'm interested in. I wanted a booklist so I could reach out and order these ahead of time, so right when the classes are available I can jump right in. Here is the book info:
A lot of these can be found on Amazon for less than $10 and can be combined for Free Shipping!!! Only 1 of these books cost more than $60, and the buyback is roughly 80-100% back of that, so overall not much of a cost for these!

Hope this helps everybody interested in the upcoming SL courses.
*News as of 10/20* Unfortunately the wait on these courses from ACE is taking longer than expected, so another 2-3 weeks is expected before these are released

Thanks for the info! I'm just hoping the courses are up by December. I'm thinking I'm gonna take a few to finish out my electives instead of taking DSSTs. I don't really care about the grade anymore (difference between a 3.5 and 3.6 isn't worth it to me) and I'm so tired of waiting four weeks for my DSST transcripts (my only option within 50 miles is paper-based!)

I am interested in the Pharmacology I & II, so any book info on those classes?

Sorry Erika,
I only asked about the classes I was interested in. I recommend sending them an email however (Contact Us on the website). Their staff is rather responsive, took about a day to get the information.
