Default online traffic school SUCKS!

i've decided to give online traffic school a try instead of attending an actual class, and boy am i regretting it right now. in classroom traffic school, you basically just commit your time, but can for the most part sit back and relax. the online version, on the other hand, requires so much work!!

I took online traffic school and actually found it to be far preferable to the traditional kind. All I had to do was click through a bunch of lessons and take a simple quiz at the end of each section. Then I had to show up in person and take a written test that took about 10 minutes or so.

All in all, it took me around 2 hours to complete the online section, and then I had to invest another hour to go in and take the written test. I hated it less than physically going and wasting a whole day being absolutely bored out of my mind.

Which online traffic school are you taking? Some are more annoying than others.

I got pretty lucky when I signed up once. The school was ridiculously easy, just read like 15 or so chapters and answer some questions. The site was in text so all I had to do was copy the text and then search a keyword for the answer. They had js right-click protection, but the source was still available Finished the whole thing in 15 minutes

I think most of them are in flash or something similar now so you can't do that.

YAY!! i just finished my online traffic course!! i followed f20cpwr's strategy and went straight to the quizes and final exam without reading the material. most of the questions are pretty easy. for the ones i don't know, i copy and paste the reading material into Word, and just use the Find feature to look for keywords. it's still a bit of a chore, but thank god it's over.

LOL, that's what I have been doing since they allowed us to take it online. You can take your time and span it over a month instead of taking a day off to go down to the school . So much easier then the other ways
