A college like WGU where I can test out of a degree Fast!! Please help!!

[Merlin]

I graduated from WGU. The papers/projects often took more than 2 days, and depending on your major there could be a lot of papers.

In the IT program, many exams are third party exams, and sometimes even those took more then 48 hours to verify.

Your expectations might need to be recalibrated, and at the very least your goal needs to be reset. "Any" degree is more than a little broad. What's your background? Why do you need this? How far along are you? What are your interests? Strong points? Weak points (aside from paper writing, which is a basic college skill?)

Also, keep in mind that it is much easier (and more likely to be successful) to accelerate a college degree when you already have significant experience in the field you are pursuing. I mention this because there are lots of people who think they can test out of any degree at WGU or one of the big 3 in a few months because they see others doing it. Then they are surprised/disappointed to find out that it isn't that easy after they invested their money. I'm active in the WGU forums on Facebook and Reddit, and it seems like I'm always having to have the conversation with people who set unrealistic goals for themselves because they started a degree they have little-to-no experience in and then start complaining about how they cannot accelerate through the courses like "everyone else." Then they get stuck paying for extra terms that they didn't plan for.

The truth is that only like 2% of students at WGU are able to accelerate at all and less than 10% of those are able to complete 30+ credits per term. At least those are the numbers I was told by my program advisor while I was a student.

So, regardless of where you end up attending, if you want a degree quick, find a field that aligns with your professional background or at least an area of interest you are already well-versed in. Once you have that in mind, then look for a competency-based school that supports a degree program in that field, or something close enough that there is overlap in your experience. That way you mainly need to focus on learning the subject matter you're missing, which is less tedious and time-consuming.

Also, don't go in expecting to complete a degree in a few months unless you have significant prior credits to transfer. At the least, you may want to recalibrate your timeline after you've completed a few courses.

Good luck.
