Provider: Saylor
Course: POLSC 101
Course content: Thorough. Lots of readings broken down into 6 units.
Final exam format: 50 questions. Multiple choice with 4 answers.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: It was all in there.
Time taken on course: Not long. Did it all in one evening.
Familiarity with subject before course: Not politically inept. Have a pretty good understanding on systems and processes. Weak on specific thoughts of people (eg. What was John Lockes view..)
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: If you have a reasonable knowledge you'll be fine. The practice exams weren't shockingly different from the credit exam. Knowing theorists will help you. To give you an idea I got 80%. It is slightly US centric (maybe 5 questions) but there's nothing outrageous.
1-10 Difficulty level: 3. Id say 5/6 if you are coming from no knowledge.
Its definitely not Sophia, I'm hoping it will transfer into UMPI for POS 101 and for $5 its worth trying.
I cherry picked and speed read material for a few hours, did the practice exam, did the credit exam and got 80%. If you gave yourself even a week its totally achievable to get solid scores.
