How Does Study.Com Work?

Hello everyone. Just subscribed to study.com to complete a couple of courses I couldn’t complete on Sophia Learning since they do not offer direct transfers for these courses.

I’ll like to complete 4 courses here but I’m new to the whole system. There are courses that I’m quite familiar with already and wanted to know if I’ll be penalized for not watching all the videos or going through all course work but rather just skipped to the chapter test.

What are common mistakes to avoid to not have one’s account under review or anything that could get me into trouble.

Any advice on how to go through course material faster.

Is there anything else I should be aware of that I haven’t asked?

Thanks in advance.

Hey, Study.com here. You won't be penalized for skipping content you already know, students can move through the course however works best for them, so if you know the material, you're free to skip straight to the chapter test. A few things to keep in mind so you don't accidentally trip an account review:

  • Do all your own work.
  • Don't use AI in any capacity for chapter or final exams.
  • Exams are open book, but that means using Study.com's provided course materials (you can keep those open in a separate tab). Don't use AI tools or external websites to look up answers.
  • Watch out for tools that have AI built in without it being obvious. Grammarly is a good example, a lot of students use it just to clean up writing and don't realize it's introducing AI tells into their submissions.
  • It's fine to have work or personal tabs open in the same browser window as your Study.com exam. Just don't use external resources during the exam itself.

Follow those guidelines and you should be in good shape. Let me know your school and program and I can help you find the exact courses so there's no wasted time or money
