    I was looking for some online courses and I found StraighterLine through some researching online. I looked into furthering my education through them as it had to do mainly with my graduation from my four-year school. I wanted to be able to graduate this coming May and the course was able to give me one of the final requirements I needed for my graduation. As a student, the self-paced work and being able to work at my own speed and time, but still having all the tools and tutoring to be able to work through was really appealing. I had a good timeframe to be able to do it, and it was definitely beneficial for me to be able to balance the rest of the things that was going on with work and other courses.

    All the times I communicated with them and whoever I was in contact with were all very helpful. Overall, the customer service was great. I found their system pretty helpful as it went through for all the different sections and chapters as far as the quizzes, homework and reviews. They were pretty straight in line with what was to follow on the exam. I’d tell others asking about StraighterLine to definitely go for it. It’s good for them as well as good financially.

    I heard about StraighterLine from my Union Institute & University student assistant rep. I brought up to him that there's got to a cheaper way just to do the General Ed and he said they have a sister company or a partner company called StraighterLine, which is a super cheap way to get Gen Ed accomplished and they accept the credits very easily. And StraighterLine was certainly far more affordable than Union. My guy at Union Institute & University knew what I needed and he gave me my options. And then, I went on to StraighterLine and picked my options out of the ones I knew I needed.

    The best part aside from the cost was the self-paced option and the proctored finals. I could even schedule on my own when the finals were going to be. That was extremely helpful because of my busy schedule with my job, wife, kid, social life and school. I'm really thankful for StraighterLine and I'm telling everybody I can about it. I would let them know that they can do just about any or all of their General Ed there. They can take as little or as long as they want to get it done. I would also say that since it's proctored, they're making their efforts to just keep it a quality education and not just something that they're just crap paying for. Lastly, I would tell them that most universities accept it and to check with their universities to see if they can pull in the credits.

    I had to get some prereqs done, so I took a class through StraighterLine, so I can enroll in WGU. StraighterLine is very affordable, convenient and flexible. Classes are online and you do everything online, so you don’t have to go and take night or weekend classes. Anytime I had any questions, I was able to get a hold of someone immediately and they resolved whatever technical issues or other issues with the course. So, I would recommend them.

    I was getting ready for my network class and security class exams and I heard about Western Governor's University. While I was doing the Western Governor's University my best friend told me to apply. I went into the program guide and over there I saw their list of partners and I saw SraighterLine. I then went to different forums. I was trying to decide which one is the best to get a transfer school. I also saw the StraighterLine scholarship, that if you complete four or more classes with them, you get a scholarship.

    All the classes I did were online and every time I had some questions, I would post so a different person would take up and help me out. The way they give their subject matter is good but the subject matter itself is not that strong though. They have to keep building the classes with more books and more input from the teachers because sometimes the material is inadequate, so I would recommend them to get better material. But other than that, my experience with them was wonderful. I completed a class with and I was able to transfer them over to Western Governor's University. Just believe in yourself, push out all the laziness and do not procrastinate.

    I was referred to StraighterLine by WGU, which was my first choice. They recommended I take some classes for my prerequisites so that's what I ended up doing. The time constraints, that was a huge factor but StraighterLine was fantastic. It was completely online. The course material was difficult but good. Moreover, I absolutely loved the program. It was flexible and I was able to work at my own pace, whether it would be taking a class within a week or a month, depending on the difficulty of the material.

    It being self-paced and self-directed one has to make the time and commit the time and effort to learning the material. Discipline is key to being a successful student. A lot of things online nowadays are not necessarily user-friendly but StraighterLine was very user-friendly. What they do is phenomenal. It's a great service and cost-effective for those looking to go back to school. I'm very happy. It was great to be able to work with them and I very much enjoyed it. So start now.

I really enjoyed the fact that I could do it on my own time and that it was easy. It is self-training type of information and to be successful, you have to make sure that you're paying attention to the material that they're offering throughout the process. They have tutoring and other little materials that you can study. Read through the resources carefully and take detailed notes. Every time I had questions, they also gave me the answers I needed.

    I studied at StraighterLine for convenience and because of their price. They have competency based training and basically in a nutshell I finished my fifth course through them. I turned in a lab report of the bio class and I forgot to put my name and the lab number so I got a zero on it, which it didn’t matter to me because I got an 84 in the class and got the transcript.

    And I went to look the other day because I was trying to get reimbursed for the course. Now, they’ve got a grade hold on it because of that zero or because I didn’t turn that in without my name. So I guess where I’m going with that is I already have the transcript. I told them to just give me the damn zero and then close it out, and they won’t do it until I actually go through the process.

    StraighterLine has fixed amount per course. That was probably the biggest thing. And I wanted to get through as many credits as I was able to for a fixed rate. Through the partnership with WGU, I compared the classes that I had left on the program that I was going to take. And then, I took all the ones that I would actually transfer in. I interacted with their customer service to get questions answered as the problems generated in the whole transcript. But other than that, it was pretty much all on my own. Putting in the time was the key to being a successful student at StraighterLine. People should have a class that they'll be able to devote the time to it and actually go for it. I'm sure that derailed a lot of people and just thinking that they could spend 20 minutes on it at a time.

    I wish there were more classes available though. I would have taken more, but I ran out of the available classes. They should open up more options and more resources. Study.com had a lot of real resources and that's what they're heavy on. I also enjoyed those classes more. It wasn't like a wall of text and then read the text, which I felt like a lot of the StraighterLine stuff was. Nevertheless, StraighterLine is a cheaper way to get credits or to be able to front-load some of the classes. They'll just slow one down during their college.

    StraighterLine was a cheaper way to take college courses as fast as I could. I took it specifically because I could crank out four classes in a semester instead of just two. I spent $650 for it which would have been at least $5,000 through Strayer. I took the time to read the books. I tended to jot down notes like chapter headings which weren’t always on the index and it allowed me to find things quicker. I never thought to call the advisor but I flagged a bunch of questions on some of the exams. The same answer would be offered twice and there were some other things where you have option A, B, C, D or all of the above but all of the above will be in the middle or at the top. So you’re not quite sure what was it referencing. They need somebody to really look over some of these exams to make sure that they're not misleading. The experience was not as good as it could be, but I have recommended StraighterLine to people.

    When I had one class left that I couldn’t fit into my schedule, a friend of mine who had done taking the class told me to take it through StraighterLine. I was also told that it was easy and it can be done at my own pace. Originally, Cecil College told me to try them if I couldn’t fit in a particular class. But then I switched over to Wilmington and they okayed it, and the college advisor also told me to try it through StraighterLine. I took the Statistics course online and it was a very fast-paced class. I couldn’t take it while trying to concentrate on my other classes, so I ended up doing two months of it. Once I got my other classes done, I sat down and took two weeks to finish it up. Still, I had a good experience and it went well for what I needed. I liked it but I have to be disciplined enough to do it without somebody saying to get the work done. And if a friend asks me, the class has to be done by itself if they want to finish it in a month and be fast-paced.

    I needed some undergraduate work for my graduate work at Walden, and I could either test out or take the courses at StraighterLine. The courses were about the same price as testing out and it furthered my knowledge. Plus the quality of the instruction they provide, the ease of use and the cost were appealing. I knew exactly what five courses I needed to take and I liked the courses that StraighterLine developed. I was also able to work at my own pace and reach out for help if I needed it. In addition, the people I dealt with were quite helpful.

    However, I detested the statistics course. I’m a 50-year-old and I’ve been an A student all through various areas of education, schools and different work. I do research and use statistics all the time. The statistics course, besides not functioning well in having the videos and all the things that the other StraighterLine courses have, was poorly designed and poorly targeted. It was completely out of depth for an entry-level statistics course and they made multiple mistakes during the program. I didn’t even bother to report them because it was so bad. In fact, most people just take it somewhere else. But I took four other courses at StraighterLine and they were excellent.

    With StraighterLine, I could do the lower division classes at a much cheaper cost than what my university is asking for. I paid $160 to get three courses instead of $800 so it was really nice. I looked at the course-equivalent fees and spoke with my adviser. He advised me on what I needed and I picked classes from there. It was really easy to get started. There was not a lot of hand-holding, which was great because I felt like you've got to be driven to do that kind of stuff.

    The courses were laid out and nice enough to where you understand what you need to do for each topic. They gave good explanations but some of the questions can be confusing. Also, they need to proofread their courses better because there have been times where I would choose an answer and it would tell me it’s the right one but it would still mark it wrong. I have a screenshot of that because they have a “How we’re doing?” and I'd tell them about the screenshots. Sometimes the text is cut off or some words are misspelled and it was funny to see misspelled words in a course.

    There aren't any due dates and it’s really easy to wait until the last minute but it would be good for students to plan their courses out every day. I’m doing a finance course right now and there are 15 topics so I do a topic a day. I try to sit down for at least three hours to go to the lesson, read and take a quiz. When I was finished with one course, I had this thing between Christmas and New Year on contacting your adviser. I had to wait until January third, almost a week, to get a hold of somebody because every time I would call, the offices were closed for the holidays. It was probably because of the winter season but I don’t know if they closed all week and it was disappointing. But overall, I had a great experience.

    I needed to meet some general education credits, and I wanted something that would be faster than the traditional courses I was already taking as well as do it concurrently with the last course that I was taking. I was attending University of Phoenix and they told me about StraighterLine. I went there and it worked for me timewise because I had set deadlines for the other class. I would have to pay for extra time if I didn't finish my course with StraighterLine within a month's time, which happened. But I still finished faster than it would have. Their people were very helpful each time I spoke to them. Going with StraighterLine is a great way for anyone who needs to meet their credits in their school and I would recommend them. You need to be interested in the course and also have the self-discipline to succeed. It's not like with the traditional school where you have to just linger on.

    I knew exactly the things I needed to do, and what I needed to do, and I was looking for a cost-effective means of doing that. I discovered that through StraighterLine. Self-discipline, organizations, and time management were important because I was juggling between StraighterLine and a local school. I was pretty pleased with StraighterLine until this last course. I took five classes in the last five months, and I was a little perplexed as to the outcome of the last course in terms of the final piece, which was in two parts. There was the objective piece which was multiple choice, and there was business communication. I had two hours to do the entire thing. I got the objective piece done in about an hour, and I had an hour left to do the written piece. It was a memo to the staff within the company and it had to be a minimum of 450 words. The specific question was “Should we look at hiring millennials in our company?”

    That was done, and I felt pretty confident about it considering the time restraint. It wasn’t anything that I could prepare for or do advance research. Right after that, I cancelled my membership. But before I cancelled, I called StraighterLine and asked if I needed to maintain my membership in order for my final to be graded. They told me no. It was the fourth total paper in this particular class. I got the results of the other three back in a couple days. I was anxious to see what I got for the fourth and I knew going in that I had a middle B, like an 85%, so I started calling. They would say they haven’t gotten to it yet. I would check again and they would tell me the same thing. It was outside the norm. Something on my radar was indicating there was an issue.

    I previously called and you could press option one if you were interested in becoming a student, and two if you were already one. So, I pressed option one and asked how long would it normally take if I took a class that required a writing to get those assignments back. I was told a couple of days, generally. For this one, I called and chatted maybe 70 times over the span of four days. But they were making the stuff and they went along. Everyone I spoke to just gave me surface answers. And then I said, “Okay. Can we create a ticket because this is another call and still hasn’t been graded?” So, we went through that process.

    A day later, I called back and they said, “I wish that has been graded”. I told them there was a ticket created and they said there was no sign of a ticket. I told them my frustration and dismay, and the rep said she could do better than a ticket. She could call over the area and see where it was at. Later on, I chatted someone and they said they had three to five business days. It was the sixth day, and I told them I needed to speak to a supervisor. The initial response was there was no supervisor yet and it was 9 in the morning. That sounded a little farfetched to me, then I kept talking. She put me on hold, came back okay, and said there was a supervisor available. She put me on hold for a while. A supervisor came on and said, “I understand what your problem is. And as it turns out, this is one of the sole classes that requires your membership to stay intact in order for your final to be graded.”

    I told her I have asked all the right questions. I’ve called and chatted numerous times. No one was willing to see what exactly was going on. I told her it was really unacceptable because if I would have known that, I would have kept my membership in place. I was upset at that point. So, she said, “Well, I’ll give you my email address and my phone number, and when it’s graded then email me once you request for the transcript and I'll see if I can expedite the transcript.”

    I was transferring the credit and as long as I got a C, I was good. I logged in one day and saw that my score dropped from an 85 to a 79. For it to drop that severe at the end of the course meant I bummed that written piece which I didn't feel like I did. So, I went in specifically and looked at it, and the comment was, “Obviously, you didn’t understand the prompt.” There was no substance there on their end.

    Based on just a formula of Math, I got 30%. I received 36 out of 120 points which was enough to drop me to the lower grade below. There was a time limitation and no prior research or anything. An hour is not a long time when you got to compose 450 words. I had 700 words, and I didn’t have a lot of time to proofread. I thought that would have been taken into consideration. That wasn't fair at all. And so, I called and created a ticket. I just couldn’t wrap my head around 36 out of 120. I was beyond bewildered as to the results that I received considering I felt pretty good about it in terms of the time restraints.

    I initially asked for my paper to be regraded. They didn’t regrade, but they said “If you want somebody else to dig deeper, let me know and we can have that happen.” I told them yes and somebody is supposed to get back with me. I would recommend StraighterLine if it’s solely the online piece. When you do it online, it's 100% objective. When your work has to be graded by others, it’s more of a 100% subjective to that person.

My husband recommended that I take an English class because I will be writing papers from here on out and he told me that once I figured that out, I'll be golden for the rest of my school year, school-wise. I tried to get into WGU and they recommended StraighterLine to help me get some college courses under my belt.

    I liked that StraighterLine is self-paced and I could do it on my own terms. Since I was writing essays for the most part, I had to self-teach myself, which was fine. Also, like on Turnitin, whenever I turn in my essays, the feedback from the people was great and it was easier to correct my mistakes, which was a plus. Things were very self-explanatory. There were examples of stuff I needed and if I had any questions on things, it was nice that I could reach out to a tutor. One time, I wanted to make sure I was doing something correctly and spoke to a really sweet lady very briefly. It has been 10 plus years since I’ve been out of school and StraighterLine was great and easy to go through. I’d recommend it to anybody, especially those who are trying to get back into school.

    StraighterLine is good. It gives students the opportunity to study and listen on their own time, as well as complete the courses at their own pace. Also, the courses are transferable to a number of well-known universities and college. I was planning to continue my lecturer degree starting from last year, so I was in the process of transferring credits from my previous institution. They are not in my major, they are like English and Humanities courses, and StraighterLine gave an opportunity to do those courses in a really cheap way so that I can transfer them.

    I did all of those courses without interactively communicating with any of the institutions. After all, most of the courses are really straight to the point plus they are not that much difficult. They also have options for students to send their draft and then they give some feedback so that the students can work on the papers based on the feedback that they got from the instructor so that they will send me the good paper for study. As a student there, saving motivates students to study the courses they provide. Students will be able to finish all the courses without going to a school. I have done around 21 credits from them so far and it's really nice.

    However, advisers should be dynamic. They need to give more information for students and they need to be aware of the current on-going situation. For example, the university that I’m going to transfer the courses offers some tuition discounts and the adviser wasn’t that much aware of that information. They should be aware of every information so that they can advise students. Some students might not even know this offer. Still, on the bright side, I got 25 percent discount on my tuition fee. I had a little bit of a problem though. The university is asking me to submit a letter mentioning the name of the course that I took up at StraighterLine so that they can put that in their system so that they will be able to provide me with a tuition discount.

    But StraighterLine wasn’t aware of this process so I reached out to my prospective university in hopes that they can work with some known contact on behalf of me and get a certification. Unfortunately, StraighterLine wasn’t responsive regarding this. Overall, StraighterLine is a great way to save money and it’s also a nice way to do a course fast because if I have a few times today I can study continuously for 10 hours and get done so many courses as much as I can.

    My cousin needed some credits to fill in for school. I had the same issue and she told me to go to StraighterLine. I worked with the admissions office from my school to see what I was missing and they told me which classes I could take. I spoke with their customer service a couple of times and they were pleasant. When taking the finals, you have to set up to get a video going between you and the instructor. Sometimes there was a lot of back and forth and they couldn’t get it to work. When you set up a time to take these exams, it’s a time that works best for you. But then a few times the exam was postponed for an hour because they couldn’t get it together on their part and connect with me. It didn’t really put me behind all too much, but it was an inconvenience.

    I was trying to enroll and accumulate 50 credits to get into the Bachelor’s program at Indiana Wesleyan when I heard about StraighterLine. I was attracted to StraighterLine because it was self-paced. At Wesleyan, they helped me pick a course. And then the admissions people at StraighterLine were very helpful. They helped me matched what I needed because I couldn’t duplicate credits so they suggested that I take the Nutrition Class. I’m satisfied and I love StraighterLine. I kept up on my reading and answered all the questions in the pre-test. I read and prepared myself for the quizzes, the midterm, and the final exam. But I was in a total loss on some questions because some of the tests and quizzes have questions that were not in the lesson.

So when I heard about StraighterLine through my university advisor, I thought I should give it a try if it will work. I took my first course, College Algebra, and it worked out really good.

I practiced with the exercises and all the materials. After every lesson, there is an exercise so I did those things, too. They help a lot. If someone wants to do the course, they should try using those resources.

She gave me a couple of options but StraighterLine had one or either two of the options that she gave me so I took one. I could quickly finish the class and the price was fair. There was a young lady at StraighterLine who was very helpful in getting me finished out and in explaining things. The course was thorough and they really went in depth in some areas, which was surprising. Some of the things they discussed were different medical terminology and that was a more junior-senior level type of terms that they were consistently trying to teach you. But I sure learned some of those terms when I was in it.

    I found that in order to be successful the overall score is what matters the most. Even though the entire curriculum is very important, looking at the final accumulated score, even if you fail the test, is the most important thing. If I had known that in the beginning, I would’ve really tried harder on my quizzes. It was a really good experience and I have no regrets. I have even referred them to another person.

    The class I took from StraighterLine was great. It was a Spanish class that allowed for verbal, written, and reading practice/assignments. However, I feel I was mislead when signing up for the class. I was very clear with the representative that I wanted to take the class to earn credits to advance at work. It wasn't until after I paid for and took the class that I was informed that the credits listed on the site are just a suggestion and are NOT printed on your transcripts from StraighterLine. Which is what I needed for my advancement.

    Overall, I was happy with the experience. My only complaint was that the accents in the Spanish language were not always entered correctly in the tests on StraighterLine's end. Although I typed it correctly on my end, it wasn't counted as correct. Even when reaching out to request a re-grade, they would not fix the score for me.

    While the Class was a little harder than I expected, I love that the ebooks were included, the price was affordable and I was able to work at my own pace. The fact that I had no deadlines in regards to assignments took a lot of the stress away. I am Thankful my Success Coach recommended StraighterLine as I was able to complete the 5 electives I needed to finish my Degree in less than 3 months. I work Full-time and have a large family so this worked Great for me given my situation and other obligations.

    I definitely enjoyed my experience working with StraighterLine. I was able to complete my classes as quickly as I wanted and the classes that had subjects that needed to be reviewed by the course instructors were done so within 1-2 days. The courses that I took were - Nutrition, American Politics/History, and Public Speaking.

    The Nutrition class was a little difficult because of the numerous terminology that I had to remember but the best part about this course was that I was able to take each review section as many times I wanted to after the 24 hour period, meaning that I could improve my overall score! I do wish there was a sheet that I could have brought to the final.

    The Public Speaking class was my best class. I would highly recommend this class to anyone needing to take a Public Speaking course. I was simple and easy to follow with the video projects that were able to be completed and submitted for a grade within 1-2 days. The American Politics class was a little difficult I must say and I did wish for a sheet during the final.

    StraighterLine offered very similar quality course content as I had in prior years at an ABET accredited University. I felt satisfied with what I learned, and enjoyed the courses I took. This format saved a lot of time and frustration that is associated with a slower paced alternative, while still leaving me with the same sense of knowledge and accomplishment.

    I really liked StraighterLine. I’ve taken a lot of classes so far, and I’m going to be continuing taking them next summer and during the spring semester next year. I was impressed with the quick communication with the instructors for the tutoring. It was really nice. Also, having the textbook for free really helps and it’s a really attractive quality of StraighterLine. And reading the textbook completely and focusing on the key points would make someone successful with StraighterLine. I would tell my friends that going with StraighterLine is the easiest way to get gen ed taken out of the way. It’s very cheap and the process for the classes to go to your school with the transcripts is very simple.

    I needed to take two Spanish classes in three months so I can graduate. I checked with my schoolmates where they could take it and I went online, signed up with StraighterLine, and started taking the classes. I liked that it was work at your own pace and I could get it done quickly. You have to pay attention to the material to be successful. At StraighterLine, you have to call them and they have to help you like in a call center, instead of like a university where if you had an issue with something, you email your professor and she can help you. I would tell other people if they could keep up with StraighterLine, then do it. The only thing I didn't like was that they charge $100 a month to take classes on top of the $300 for the class that you enroll in, and that was pricey.

    I was taking some classes from the University of Phoenix online and they did not have a Humanities credit that I needed, so they referred me to StraighterLine. StraighterLine told me I had a couple of options and to go to one of the local colleges and test out the class. I paid around $700 for higher-level classes somewhere, but taking classes online through them was cheaper and easier for me because monetarily, it was the same.

    Also, doing some of the online courses was really hard because if you don’t understand what you’re doing, you’re not going pick it up in the time allotted. It’s a very fast pace so you have to stick with it. At the University of Phoenix, each week is scheduled and you should be done with the course at the end of five weeks. But with StraighterLine, they gave all the information and you could click on it and do it when you get a chance to. It’s not so well for a higher-level course, but for low-level ones like simple Math and English, it was easy. I like the flow and got everything done in two weeks. I was even trying to tell a friend of mine who is going through a Biology course that if he needs to get rid of low-level Math or English classes, it’s much better to go through a StraighterLine course and get the credits transferred. The important thing is sticking with what you know, along with due diligence and doing everything.

Since I knew what program I wanted to be in, it was just a matter of seeing what worked. So I did some research and decided I would give it a go. To be a successful student at StraighterLine, you have to push through some of the difficult things like having to relist and do a couple of modules to let the lessons sink in. You also have to pay attention because you're not going to get anywhere if you don't have the work ethic to do it and it would be a waste of money.

    I wanted to start school at WGU and I had trouble with the financial aid. A friend recommended that I do StraighterLine in the meantime so I can transfer those credits over and I wasn’t just wasting my time sitting around. Their price was very reasonable and they were accredited so I signed up. Everything was done online so they gave me a little bit of flexibility. I went in there knowing what I wanted to do and I worked independently so once that was all set-up, I went in on my own. It took a lot of hard work and grit into steadying things out but it was a really positive experience. The credits I earned there switched over without any issues to WGU and if I was in that situation again, I would use StraighterLine again.

    A friend of mine's son was with StraighterLine to earn credits. We both homeschool so she was looking for options to earn college credits for her kids in a different high school and work at home. We tried it to and while being with them, my son is also enrolled at a brick and mortar college. We’re looking for ways to keep the credit count increasing quickly. I like that StraighterLine is self-paced and that they have the types of courses that we need for an associate’s degree. Initially, when I set-up the account, I used an incorrect email address so I know that they have an Admissions IT and they were very helpful. I also like the diverse types of support that StraighterLine provide. We could listen to, watch and read the Camp files instruction.

    But we currently have an issue because my son has completed nine classes in the same grade and this is the first time that I felt like something’s not working quite as well as it should be. He started doing English Camp 2 and he submitted paper then received a grade. But when we tried to see the feedback and the comments, the link didn’t work. It went to a separate browser window that said “mynoodle.something" and just spins there so we never saw the feedback that we’re supposed to be receiving for this English class. When he did English Camp 1, we could see the turned in papers and he did very well. But English Camp 2 is a harder course and last week was the first time he got a lower grade than he was expecting. We wanted to know why but we couldn't figure that out. But other than that, StraighterLine is efficient and cost-effective.

By that time, I didn't want to pay up to $1,000 plus I was a little tired of the school format, so I went with StraighterLine which was a cheaper option. My academic advisor told me that I was eligible to take four different classes that would fulfill the G.E. requirement and I took one which was interesting to me. I also had the drive that I needed just one more class before I could get my diploma.

    I liked that I could do things on my own time and there wasn't a deadline to get them done. There was also a visual module that helped a lot. I know the university was trying to make money too, but I wish they said something earlier in the game.

He told me call back after I finished everything and that they would cancel the payments. Cool! I start my classes, everything is fine for the first 2 days, and then the site stopped working, remember you pay by the month! And it breaks down a lot!!! So now it's time to take the final. You have to go through some other crap called ProctorU and they have to spy on you through your computer camera. They downloaded a bunch of crap to my laptop to try to make their crappy site work, and when they finally got the camera to work, their end kept messing up during my TIMED TEST and they interrupted me every 5 mins to take control over my mouse and fit the problem, WHILE MY TIME WAS STILL RUNNING, and told me they couldn't stop the clock. (And this is just from the first test).

    The second test I had to have my boyfriend interrupt him from downloading stuff and he fixed the problem. I finished my second and last final on SEPT 29th. I tried to call them on the 30th and Oct 1st and even though they say they are available on weekends during specific times, they did not answer or return any of my voicemails I left. I finally got ahold of them on Oct 2nd after being HUNG UP on TWICE to cancel the payment and keep them from charging my credit card, but their response was there is nothing they can do and they still took $99 even though I have no classes to take.
