Sailor test prep now less awful

[Notgodot]

Recently Saylor.org made a change that I heartily agree with. Instead of having to wait two weeks to retake a practice exam, you now only have to wait one week (if you fail).

I love Saylor as the least expensive option to get credit, but the courses are bloated with material, and when you are trying to earn credits quickly, Saylor is a real chore with most subjects. Taking the practice exams, a lot of them, allows you to home in on just those areas of the subject you are weak in. If you have two accounts (no, it isn't cheating) you can take four practice exams in 8 days, and use the results to guide your studies. With diligence, you can prepare for an exam in less than two weeks.

It isn't a foolproof system, of course, but speaking from personal experience, it beats trying to get through all the course material, which would almost certainly take much longer than that for most.
