I am not sure I agree with your mother. Usually the minimum credits earned is 3 per exam, and you take one exam per two-three weeks. Let's say you only take 3 credit exams (some will be more) and that you take 2 exams per 5 weeks. That would put you on a pace to take 20 exams per year at 3 credit hours each (I am being conservative here) and that works out to 60 credits per year, unless you take some 6 credit cleps, which would boost it up even more. That 60 credits per year comes out to a bachelor's degree in two years!
