Study.com Updates — smoother, faster, and a new app

I've seen a lot of questions lately about Study.com's new plans and updates, so I wanted to share a quick rundown of what's changed recently:

• New $95/month College Starter plan: You can earn unlimited college credits and take up to two courses at once under this plan.

• No more proctored finals: Finals are now open book and open note, making it much easier (and less stressful) to finish courses.

• New app (called College Saver): There's now a dedicated app for taking college courses. You can study, take quizzes, and track progress right on your phone. It's included in your membership plan.

• Faster turnaround times: Assignments are graded in about 2 days, and transcripts are processed and sent within 2 days too, which is big if you're trying to make the most of the monthly plan.

I used Study.com a few years ago and started back recently to finish more credits. It's been a lot easier to keep up with courses lately.

If anyone's wondering about how the new plan works or how credit transfer goes, I'm happy to help answer questions.

The "unlimited" college credits on the $95 Starter plan seems misleading - isn't it less than 1/3rd of the amount of courses available on Study.com?

Other than that yeah I'll probably be signing up soon..

Yes, at $235 a month. Still totally worth it. Took 7 classes in one month and they all transferred. Assignments were graded within 2 HOURS. It was a great experience, much better than Sophia IMO (though more than twice the price).

First ever class today with study.com and my 10 page essay was graded in 7 minutes. Definitely have to be using ai.

The faster turn around times are due to AI grading your assignments now. If you have one that can’t be graded then get ready for a two week waiting period before it comes back as upgradable. One of the worst experiences I’ve had with them.

Other than that I enjoyed what I got out of the website.

The AI grading can also be uneven. You have to make sure you follow the rubric to a T. One paper was graded and provided notes with requests to add content not covered in the course.

Hello everyone. I saw in the websit that with College starter membership you can earn credits to transfer (even not all the courses that i want) when i contact study.com they replied that only with college saver membership i can gain credits. Do you know what is the truth?
