Course is laughably easy, finished it in about 30 minutes without needing to read any content. Really basic if you have any sort of background or experience with computers.
Introduction to Statistics Introduction to Statistics

Write down the formulas as you go through the chapters. This will save you time looking them up. Also, run your numbers more than once to get the same answers more than once to be sure of the answer. This helped me raise my scores up on the Milestones.
