How do you people do something like that? Well over at BA in 4 Weeks Laurie Miller gives a blueprint on how to get 120 credits in a month, but it assumes you are just testing through your own life experiences (you already possess the required knowledge to pass) so you don't need to study. Over at 123collegedegree Joshua Graham provides examples on how to get a degree in 6 months... though again studying doesn't factor highly into the plans.
90 credits in 90 days is basically 30 credits per month, which is 2-3 exams per week (not including FEMA, SL, ALEKS, or other options.) With good organizational and time management skills, a solid plan, and well organized study materials, I think that isn't too hard a goal to meet. Well, assuming you don't have a job or life to worry about. If you assume 6 hours a week for testing, 80 hours a week to sleep, eat, bathe, etc. you're left with roughly 80 hours a week to study. If you're studying for 3 topics per week, that is more than 24 hours per subject, which is more than I usually study for a test.
My personal goal is 18 credits per month (1-2 exams per week), which while not as impressive, is much more reasonable to me. I'm a bit behind my goal (coming in closer to 12-14 credits per month right now) but I spent more time than planned with ALEKS... and I have a life. The goal gives me something to strive for though. As long as I can maintain at least 6 credits per month I'll be happy.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23

Thanks everyone!
I bought tickets for two Dolphins games in November. Thats my reward.
Future plans I think I'll probably take the GMAT, as you guys know i'm pretty good at tests so might as well knock that out. Maybe I'll take the LSAT too.
Then my options open up for later, but an MBA at this point with my work experience is a lot of money and time investment for little return. I think the undergrad will get me sorted out for now!
Cant wait for the diploma to arrive

I guess there is an 8 week option, it wasnt when I signed up for this class! But I wouldn't have wanted to wait until November.
Its BUS 495, and since it requires many other classes I had to get the college to unlock it for me to enroll (the check box was grayed out on the website)
