Ease of obtaining credits. Other degrees require more difficult (and therefore more time consuming) courses. Given that two psychology exams are considered upper level (Human Growth and Devel and Educational Psy), and that those are two of the stupid-easiest exams there are (in my opinion), it doesn't take very long to prepare for and pass such exams. Plus, of course, you have the free (and easy, IMO) FEMA credits that you can slam through quickly.
The biggest obstacles seem to be the math and science requirements, for most people. But if you're good at those, and you use InstantCert, you should be able to obtain your BA this way fairly easily.
But, of course, I say "easily" as someone who never failed a CLEP or Dantes. Yet I know several people personally who have failed both. I didn't find them particularly difficult in many ways (they required hard work in preparation, of course), but others apparently do have trouble passing them. I guess a lot of it depends on the person.
I'm an engineer. Go figure.
