study.com tips for passing quickly?

[Tekky]

Hi all,

I'm using the search feature to just search for posts on study.com and have not come across a post on what the tips and tricks are that everyone uses to pass a study.com course as quick as possible.  Just started taking one and working to figure it all out.  Can anyone help me with the questions below so I can optimize my time with these courses?  I'm sure it will help others as well.

Do people read the passages and not watch the videos?

Do you take all of the chapter test exams or just the quizzes?

Do you take the Placement exam to try and test out?

Do the final proctored exam questions come from the quizzes or chapter test exams or are they completely different?

FOR UL courses that require writing an essay, are there any tips for that?

Any other tips or tricks?

Thanks for everyone's help with this.
