Exams not submitting, proctors being unprofessional, proctors changing settings without permission, etc. Have you had any of these issues? The post was a year old so this may have all been worked out.
As you can see from my signature, the bulk of my degree came from Straighterline. About half of the courses I took were before they instituted proctor requirements for the finals. I generally had a good experience with Proctor U, except for a technical problem which got ironed out quickly. If you take a lot of tests through them, there will probably some tech problems, but that is part of life.
Don't hesitate to use Straighterline. Through them I was able to complete 78 credits, and the bulk of my Associate's and Bachelor's degrees. Thomas Edison State College accepts almost all their courses for credits, so they are probably the best bet to knock out your General Education requirements, and a few upper level courses.
