3 credits in quantitative reasoning for $39 (ACE)

I am working through the course and have enjoyed it so far. I was able to get to 50% within the two hour trial, but I wish I had gone slower. You not only have to get every question on the page correct, you have to get them correct the first time. They have a system of "blelts" (yellow, red, black) and you have to get a black belt in every section before being awarded the certificate.

If you get all the questions correct on the first try, you get a black belt. If you don't get them all correct on the first try, you have to get two pages correct and get a red belt, if you don't get those correct, you get more tries but only a yellow belt. Finally, if you get too many mistakes you don't get awarded anything and have to redo it all later.

So, if on the first time through, you don't get a black belt, you have to circle around after you've completed all the units and redo them to try for a black belt. For me, the getting 50% of the way through wasn't an accurate indicator of how long the course would take. I currently have about 5 hours invested and am at 80%.
