I am female and have disabilities. I am worried about whether I will need downtime for medical reasons, but I also learn fast and work hard when I can.
As I mentioned in the other thread, I feel I must put in 40+ hours a week until the TECEP is over, and I believe I can. How much more, I'm not sure, and I'm worried. After the TECEP, hopefully I can do less some weeks. I'm not really sure how many hours each of these exams will take. It seems like some people study for 3 weeks for one exam, for the harder ones (CIS, business). Doing the math, it seems I would need to take 20-21 exams after the TECEP, and maybe the biology lab too.
So I would really like to be done this year, with the exams. January 1st is their deadline for March graduation. If I miss that, I don't graduate until June. I believe I read they are sometimes lenient, like if they know you're just finishing 2 exams in a few days, it may be ok. Still, I would love to be done before Christmas or New Year. I may have blacked out days where I cannot use the library (as an exam-taking location) during the holidays.
In order to finish that quickly, I would need to take about 3 exams a month. I know some people do much more per month. It seems a little challenging to me, but reasonable, as long as I don't have too many personal/work/medical things to juggle. I feel that I will need to expect things to come up, so I should try and make the goal 4 exams a month, for any months that don't have important unexpected things.
