New to the forum, couple questions.

Or are you just going about this differently. I understand the pass/fail grading, but I wouldn't want to risk failing and having to pay for the course again, and I'm not sure if the fail goes on your transcript. I tend to read and take tests slow, as I don't want to screw up, but then I see people studying for a few days  to test out and getting lots of grades in the 50's, so maybe I'm just being a perfectionist...I dunno.
I'm just not sure that this path to a degree makes sense unless you can do it reasonably fast (and I'm not sure how people are racking up the credits they say they are unless they're going about things in a completely different way.
Sorry for the rambling post.Thanks for any input. 

The people doing this fast are purposely NOT being perfectionists and are just going for the pass. There are providers that charge per course rather than per month if you can't or don't want to move that fast. Saylor.org, OnlineDegree, Davar, CLEP, DSST, and Coopersmith are all possibilities. Plus you can take TECEPs, UExcels, ASU Global, and community college courses.
