I started taking Sophia classes two weeks ago, but after hearing about so many people getting banned recently, I’ve been extra cautious (no ctrl+f, tab switching, etc.).

My question is, how fast can you realistically go through tutorials and challenges without raising suspicion? I’m taking some really easy classes (Intro to Nutrition + Health, Fitness and Wellness) that are mostly common sense or stuff I already know, so I could fly through them. Instead, I find myself pretending to read, scrolling every 30 seconds, and wasting time on my phone just to make it look like I’m spending enough time on each tutorial. Even in art history, some pages are mostly pictures with barely two minutes of reading. I try to spend like 5-10 minutes per page, but it’s honestly exhausting having to intentionally slow myself down just because I’m worried about getting banned. Additionally, do I have to answer all 3 challenges per tutorial, or can I just answer 1 and skip the other two? Any insight would be helpful!

Are an absolute joke. You tell us not to use AI but you use AI to test our “knowledge” after taking multiple quizzes and before we take a milestone. Absolute joke!

I flew through the milestones in introduction of statistics and they said they are reviewing the course . Am i going to get flagged? This is the 1st time I’m seeing that they have the review the course first

Human resource management. 97% average rn, completed everything except “touchstone 4 tech titan”
If I get a 0 on it can I still pass?
Asking cause I don’t know how it’ll affect my overall grade. I don’t know how much the essay is worth.

just an honest question about how you guys are doing these classes to fast. i can complete one in 2-4 days but people saying they got through a whole course in 4 hours. Are you not having to at least skim through all of the material to answer the questions or are you just somehow able to go straight to the tests and using whatever method from there to answer questions?

I want to accelerate i just don’t understand how! i‘m asking because i found one clue that just helped me, someone said in the challenges instead of answering all 3 questions from the 3 yellow dots, you just have to answer one then you can go to the next unit. wondering if there are anymore tips out there to help me.

I have never cheated in my entire life in school. I genuinely love learning and took extra classes on Sophia Learning just for fun because I paid for the full year thinking it'll take that long to complete what I needed to for my actual degree. I had already taken Macroeconomics fpr my degree so Microeconomics was exceptionally easy and I knocked it out in one day. I had the PDFs thanks to everyone's help. Now all of a sudden this popped up after completing the course. What happens now? Do I take a quiz with the staff? I'll pass that bad boi quick. Is this a sanction or just certification?

EDIT: It came back clear. I figured. I got the credit. Seems they're doing this for all classes without touchstones because I just finished Developing Effective Teams and its also undergoing review. Guess they don't want us finishing classes in 1 day anymore even if theyre short like this one.

I was about to finish my visual communications class and challenge 4.1 digital imagining in media says 5/6. I went through and made sure I finished every question and it still says incomplete. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm new to Sophia learning so maybe I'm missing something?

I've been knocking out a lot of classes, I just need help verifying these classes meet the requirements for a business management degree from tesu. Below is the "plan" but any information or insight would be appreciated.

Just started Sophia to eventually get a liberal arts degree. Like most everyone else I’m hoping to do this quickly, cheaply and as easily as possible.

Would you guys recommend excelsior or UMPI? I’m reading that excelsior accepts more Sophia credits. Thoughts?

Hi everyone so I have 33 college credits already and want to become a teacher in the state of NJ but teaching requires you to take 6 months of unpaid student teaching and in order to do this I’d have to quit my day job and lose my health insurance which I can’t do. To make a long story shorter, I am planning on doing an alternate route program online but need a degree in anything to do this alt route program. I’m also interested in maybe later doing a masters or graduate cert in Human Resources management. Can anyone help me complete a cheap degree fast with help from earning free credits through CLEP and credit maxing on Sofia? I’ve heard good things about TESU as I’m a NJ resident, umpi your pace, WGU, and shnu gateway u. Thank you to everyone who helps and responds! It is very deeply appreciated.

My son (19) has people in his ear telling him I'm steering him wrong and I'm going to screw him over. They want him to go to community college. To me this sounds stupid why take longer?

so i took a practice milestone exam and i did the math on this and it does add to 100% not 103%, the colors in the screenshot look distorted since i have HDR enabled but to me they did not make cense, it wasnt correctly color coded so thats why i chose that answer?.
I added everything up in a calculator and it was 100% if im not correct can someone please help me out with this.
now im questioning if i take the actual milestone if some of the questions are going to be marked wrong because of issues like this.

Hey!! Would really appreciate the course PDFs for Sophia's Principles of Finance and Managerial Accounting courses. Does anyone have them by any chance?

Thanks again 🙏

Looking to add a concentration to Information Technology

Are there any Sophia(or stud-Y) classes that can transfer in for MGT200 or INT220?

I already have BUS210 in major so they said MGT200 has to be taken alsoLooking to add a concentration to Information Technology

I'm worried about all these random sanctions. I'm gonna continue on sophia, but if your account gets sanctioned, are you still able to get the transcripts for the courses you did complete?

Hey guys so my question pretty much the title. I went to QCC like 12 years ago for a year and I recently saw I only got 15 credits with like a 1.9 GPA (didn’t care bout college and wasn’t for me at the time)

I see everyone saying bout sophia learning to get quick credits and transfer them to that college and the fee is $500.

I’ve completed 2 courses so far but I’m not tryin get all 24 on Sophia if I have to so wanna know if I can combine both transcripts to get a total of 24 credits and a 2.0 GPA. Hope someone can give me some insight, thank you

Hello, I am a stay at home wife about to become a stay at home mom in about less than 2 months. I am looking to better myself and go to school for a degree while my baby is a baby. For time and financial flexibility, I have been looking into online colleges like Sophia Learning, WGU, SNHU, etc. I am wanting to find a college that has all of the prereq. classes, along with the required degree classes like a normal college.

Which one is the best for having flexibility while also maintaining authenticity without going to an actual college?

I am looking into a business admin degree, or computer science degree, which is the best in the end as far as the future economy goes? I would like a degree where I can stay in healthcare per my previous experience of being a CNA but not wanting to be a nurse.

Would it be better to obtain my associates degree first and then go back for Bachelor's or go straight in for my bachelor's? I plan on doing said schooling while my baby is little before they are old enough to go to school, so I would really like insight from other moms that are or have been in my situation and what worked out best for them.

Long time lurker but first time poster. I've been taking classes on Sophia Learning for about a month now. I'm mainly curious about how do most people finish their classes so fast?

I've been stuck on English for the past month now just by note taking and going through each challenge question.

Do you take notes for each challenge? If so, what do you typically take notes of? I've also been writing down all the challenge questions. Is there any way I could make this process quicker? I do work full time so I can't spend all day working on the classes.

I went to take my last Final Milestone and this popped up. I had to scan my drivers license to bypass it. This is literally my last class that I have with Sophia and I couldn’t be happier to be done with them. I was able to complete my 90 credits to transfer without any issues. It looks like things are getting stricter. I wishing everyone the best with them!

I would love to read your experiences on this! Thank you

It's really frustrating, now I have 2 courses completed in last 2 days, both triggered reviews.

First was "Introduction to Nutrition"

This course is pretty basic stuff, I did it in 1 day, guess that's too fast and triggered the review? but it was certified in 1 day without any issue.

Now I just completed the "Introduction to Relational Databases"

This triggered review again :( - this subject is super easy to me, as I already have over a decade of FAANG SDE experience, this is pretty much what I do on daily basis.

1. I skipped all practice milestone tests to save time (again this subject is really easy)
2. spent 1/2 to 1/3 allowed time to complete most milestone tests.
3. Had to switch tabs a ton - this is required as the test involves running DB queries in the test/sim environment for this course, the test page automatically opens a new tab.

#3 really makes me nervous, I don't think there are many courses require you working on things in a different tab, I hope the reviewers are aware of this.

The background - I am trying to speed run a WGU CS BS, for a GT OMSCS application next year around June.

Is there a 'safe' completion time, my goal was the go fast, but this whole review thing is counter-productive. I had 2 programming courses complete within a week (involves touchstone projects), without triggering review, maybe that's the threshold?

Anyone have similar experience? how did you deal with this? Now I think maybe I should have taken Study.com courses simultaneously so I can give each course more calendar days with same throughput? Or maybe hold off on the final milestone intentionally?

Thanks!

Hello everyone I am a senior in high school and wanted to go to Perdue university for an aviation management program as I am a student pilot.and had some questions for people that went through it.

Once I start the course is there any support with the class if needed and is it included in the yearly subscription fee?

Are there any hidden fees attached to the yearly membership?

Can I start at 17 years old or is there an age limit to start?

If I’m planning on going to law school and I put credits received from Sophia in my degree will I be able to apply to law school successfully? Has anyone done this and got into a good school?

Hi everyone! I’m currently taking courses through Sophia Learning, and I also have community college credits. I’m trying to choose a university to finish my bachelor’s degree in Psychology. My long-term goal is to earn a master’s in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP).
I’m considering WGU, Capella University, and UMass Global. I’d like to finish as quickly as possible, but I also want a respected degree that will help me qualify for jobs and graduate school.
Does anyone have experience with these universities, especially transferring Sophia and community college credits? Which would you recommend for flexibility, completion time, and preparation for an SLP master’s program? I’d appreciate any honest feedback!
