30 credits in 3 Months? Is it possible

[dfrecore]

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).
