When you say it took you 7 days to finish the course do you mean seven days of grueling work with no breaks... or even time to breathe? In my current situation my parents depend on me quite a bit so I can't just check out for a couple days. How much time did you spend on average each day? Sorry for all the questions. Yes, I am one of those people... the kind that have to know everything before I start a test!

What I did was I'd go right into reading the material, maybe taking a practice quiz, and then doing the graded quizzes. Since the format is open book, you can look up the answers. Be aware, though, that the questions are worded in such a way that you might still have to guess even with the book. Read the book with a highlight pen, and mark the concepts you think will be asked. I always marked the bolded or italicized words, since those concepts usually will be referred to in the tests. Use the index liberally.

If you don't have a whole lot of time, spend an hour reading the assignments, then later set aside the required time for the tests. Doing each course in a week is totally doable, even on a restricted schedule.
