You don't know that completing 10 CLEP exams in 2 weeks isn't considered questionable behavior. Others have done it, but we don't know how intense the level of scrutiny is on these accelerated degree programs.
...

CollegeBoard is a very prominent provider (it seems like most schools take at least a few CLEP exams), so TESU (or others) aren't likely to be concerned even if some people were to speed through a lot of exams.

Agreed. They have an established reputation and are well known for the scrutiny under which they administer their exams. However, the point is that we don't know how an accreditor or college looks at degrees where students manage to complete a ton of credits in a very short period of time. Even if some of those credits are earned from CLEP, I have to imagine that too many credits in too short of time is looked at with some level of skepticism.

Personally, it doesn't matter that much to me since 5-6 courses in a month has been my natural limit anyway. But I also appreciate being able to earn an accelerated degree, so I'd rather see limits put in place for how/where/how many credits can be earned in a given time period to make sure that colleges continue to allow alt. ed. credits to be used in degrees.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
