I'm asking because I heard that they're quite hard compared to Sophia.
I actually want to learn something I'm not interested in easy stuffs just to get a piece of paper.
Learning vs. Earning Credits - you can learn as much as you want on Sophia, or SDC or Saylor or whatever. Just because a course is "easy" doesn't mean you'll learn, and just because a course is "hard" doesn't either. Instead, it's about how you apply yourself to the material. I personally learn what I need to pass a course, and then delve deeper later if I'm interested in the subject.
Since Sophia is timed, spending a lot of time on each subject in not generally recommended unless you have unlimited dollars to spend. Doing courses on Saylor is also not generally recommended though, because the material is either "dry", doesn't pertain to the exam in any way, or is a bad course (lots of broken links, is outdated, is not put together well, etc.).
There are many ways to learn material if you want, for free - library, online materials are 2 ways - and so you don't have to link learning with earning credits.
Do Sophia, Saylor, Study.com and Straighterline show grades and percentages on their cerdly transcripts?
Because I'll need them when applying for graduate school.
