Your best bet for acceptance outside the "big 3" is roughly as follows:
CLEP exams (2700+ colleges) most schools accept at least some CLEP
DSST (1400-1700 colleges)
Challenge exams like TECEP, EC, Uexcel, and CSU-Global will vary. but generally fewer schools will be familiar with them than CLEP or DSST
Straighterline and Penn Foster, much less, they will roughly follow the ACE Guidelines. This is becoming more accepted, but far from regular or normal.
AS to studying, it depends on you. I have seen mediocre students knock out SL courses in a long weekend. I managed to knock out a couple regular self paced CSU-Pueblo courses in a few days while other courses from the same institution took longer.
For CLEP/DSST read through this site: Clep Difficulty List - Free-Clep-Prep.com
You only need 9 UL courses plus the Capstone which is also UL at COSC....TESC might be even less. This is doable, the master list of exams link I gave earlier in this thread even shows which DSST, TECEP, and EC exams are UL.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
