Saylor ACE/NCCRS: Saylor exams are just that, you get credit for the proctored final exam passed.
You can think of it as a different CLEP/DSST, even a TECEP or another online ProctorU exam.
This is what I recommend: Review the table of contents from Saylor course and skim through lengthy material.
Grab a textbook from the library and review the same details as well as an extra resource.

Enter your own Coles Notes version of the details you're studying for review and helping you remember info.
One thing I do is, create a second Saylor account for practice final exam, to see how I do.
This is because, if you fail the practice exam, you have to wait 14 days for the proctored final, it hinders your speed.
And the second reason is, it will tell you what you need work on, you're familiar with possible questions for final.

Note: The practice final questions are not going to be identical to the proctored final.
Having a second account isn't cheating and it's giving you an extra practice set to "gauge" where you're at.
Hope this helps, more practice testing is where it's all at to pass any proctored exam.
Example: TECEP for Network Technology actually uses the Saylor Course as a free resource.
I'll use the Saylor course for review, but will use a Network+ study guide for good measure.

Straighterline: Another option is taking courses at Straighterline for $49-$74 if it's more suited for you.
It's a quick set of work, midterm, and then the proctored final exam, generally 75-80% work/20-25% exam.
People like this as they can "pass" the course with high grades for coursework, and mediocre final.
If you're taking Straighterline courses, take as much as you can in a monthly membership.
Basically work hard on "coursework/exams" and on the final, having peace of mind knowing you passed.

Penn Foster: These courses are geared towards the individuals wanting upper credit courses for TESU BSBA.
There are webinars, homework, exams and finals. Individuals have been able to complete these within 3-4 weeks.
I thank the people who have updated the degreeforum.wikia.com webpage with details. See hyperlink.
I'm taking 3 courses with them just for the "Area Of Study" in Business from this link.
