I am in the WGU, which I like, but I don't think I am going to be able to pass one of the required Cert exams. I am considering going to a school that does not use Cert exams. I've been studying day and night for a month, and barely get a 70 on the pretest you need a 90 on, before you can take the real test. My eyes hurt. My brains hurts. I hate Cert tests. I'm not a fast learner, but I managed to get the first 2 years of WGU done in 1 year, and was planning to finish in one more year. But now I hit a brick wall. If I do change schools, that is going to disrupt a lot of things, but I would do that before I completely quit.
