This really depends. At Sophia, you
must wait for most papers to be returned before starting on the next. 3 months of "writing" at Sophia may only be a couple of days of actual writing. The rest is simply waiting.

If you're going to UMPI, take it at UMPI. If you're not going to UMPI, an example is Excelsior, take it from Study.com or Sophia.org if you can wait for the grading... If you're going to something else like TESU, they accept the CLEP (Excelsior doesn't), take the CLEP through the MS Voucher instead... It's all personal preference, find your provider you like most and go with them.

I'm asking because I'm currently enrolled at UMPI, and I thought there have been discussions about the level of challenges associated with this particular course.

<thinking> I don't recall there were many or major changes done to UMPI English I/II offerings... Maybe a search may bring up something, but IIRC, it's better to take the UMPI courses as one of the 10 you need for residency purposes. I would transfer in courses that are easier to complete and do the required minimum at UMPI...

I think its def possible now that I have finished the course! If you are really in a crunch for time I would try this strategy.... get the quizzes all done first and make sure to get 100 of the points because this is easy with the ability to take over the quizzes. If you get a good grade on the proposal and paper 1 plus an 100 on all your quizzes it is more than likely you will have enough points to just take the final to obtain the required 210. This is what I did. It took me about 2 months but that's bc I have 2 kids and work full time so I just dint have the band width.

I took english comp 1 & 2 on study.com and I think you could probably do either of them in a week very easily. I think I might have done both of them the same week. So yes it's possible. You're the only one who knows how long you have to spend on it though
