www.getdefensive.com was reasonably tolerable. you can save as you go and take up to 6 months to take it if you want. i dunno if the others let you do that but it was great not having to do it all at once.

all it is is clicking "next" and waiting for the time to pass, and watching the occasional video clips. :yawn:

I did one and hated it. It made me wait until the timer elapsed for each section. I read fast so this sucked bigtime. I recommend a class, maybe one of the comedy ones.

I remember I took it relatively fast at asenseofhumordriving.com. They overnight your certificate but it takes a couple more days to obtain your driving record (takes like six weeks through the DOT). Good luck.
