Good Luck It Is Definitely Possible to Do This. I'm Currently Working on "42" Credits in 3 1/2 months time. I have already knocked out 11/42. Working on another 16 in class and studying for CLEPs at the same time. They way I look at it a year of really hard work is worth it to not have to spread all this out over multiple years. Good Luck!!!
Institutes Course (2) - Done
ALEKS Courses (9) - 2 Done - 1 Left
CC Courses (16) - All Going Well
CLEP Exams (15) - Marketing Done, 12Cr Left. Next Test 9/15/16

30 credits in 3 Months? Is it possible - Lindagerr - 10-06-2016
Back in early 2010 in 4 months I did 29 credits while teaching 6 middle school classes full time and caring for a family. Also was preparing for 3 PRAXIS II exams. If I could do that anyone can. I am not a fast worker it took me 30+ years to earn the other 91 credits for my BA.

TESU students - after Aleks (Intermediate or College) courses, may I also recommend the following complementary exams:
CLEP College Mathematics (6cr) MAT102/MAT103
TECEP Liberal Arts Mathematics (3cr) MAT105
BSBA General Mgmt and Operations (not sure of other AOS?) students can earn UL credit with Saylors business statistics course; which transfers in as OPM351.
I took advantage of all available inexpensive math credits accepted at Thomas Edison.
Good luck!

I don't know Linda, I think you are definitely an amazing person! Many (most) people probably wouldn't be able to do that much at one time -- you rock!

Just to update everyone :
Started September 17th - October 24th : Earned 26 credits.
September 17th - December 17th Projection : 48 Credits
So yes 30credits in 3months is very doable. Even if I don't take the 2 more CLEPs I am planning on taking by Mid-December I will still earn 42 Credits in 3 Months. I am passing my 5 CC classes right now so that is 16credits I will Have regardless I hit the min passing grade as of now so they can kind of be counted.

I've done 12cr in 2 1/2 hours one day (2 CLEP's and 2 DSST's). I've done 6cr in a few days (ALEKS). I've done 14cr in a 2 month period (TECEP's, ALEKS, & Insurance Ethics). I've done 6cr in 2 days (2 TECEP's).
When looking at my degree path, I realize that all along (since 1988), I've kind of done things in spurts. I do a semester here, and year there, and then I end up taking time off for one reason or another (usually work-related).
So, I kind of tell people, when you get that burst of energy or a short amount of time between crazy projects at work, and you have an urge to do a few courses, jump on it. Then, if you need to take a break, you can. But if you can accomplish a lot in that short amount of time that you get something done, it seems to eventually catch up to you, and you make a lot of progress. Thinking you can just do the same amount of work day in and day out over a long period of time isn't really practical for most people (hence a less than stellar rate of college graduation).
