Is Saylor difficult?

[cookderosa]

hey guys, I've been cruising through my SL courses I can average 2 courses a week (horray no life) and the next set of courses I have are with Saylor, so my question is can I keep my current pace through Saylor courses? or are they going to be more difficult and time consuming?

since you're COMPARING to SL, the main difference is that you're currently able to accumulate points for open book quizzes so you don't (usually) have to earn many on the exam. Saylor will be 100% of your score based on your exam (like CLEP, DSST, etc.) so you have to pass the exam. Saylor is designed to be a full length college class (1 or 2 semesters respectfully) so it's LONG when you're talking about test prep. It's not test prep. There is NOTHING in the class that is test prep. Frankly, I love Saylor as a curriculum (great for homeschoolers) but I'm too fearful to try it for college credit on my kids, even though the cost is low. I'd rather pay more and use CLEP or another standardized subject.
