Day 0

Transferred in 77/121 CUs from various sources included other RA colleges, military experience, alt credits, and IT certs.

DAY 1

4 CU completed today(one class)

I actually had lofty goals of finishing 2-4 courses today, starting right at midnight(when my semester started), but it turns out they were updating the systems at that time and by the time I was able to schedule my first OA(test), it was around noon. I wasn't able to schedule my next test until tomorrow. Also waiting on approval to schedule my 3rd course OA(this one is an IT cert). Kind of disappointed I wasn't able to move quite as fast as I'd hoped.

If you could keep track of how many hours it takes you to complete each course that would be helpful.  

There's a big difference between 2 weeks to complete a course @ 1hr a day versus 6hrs a day.

Honestly, that's not going to work for me. I already passed 4+ preassessments before even touching the course material. About half of my remaining courses I'll be taking the final without doing more than short review/cram sessions beforehand. For any of the courses that I'm not immediately testing out of, I don't have dedicated study time either. I listen to the materials(at 1.5-2x speed) while doing other things like driving, eating, exercising etc, and spend short bouts quizzing myself throughout the day during short breaks from other tasks. I rarely sit down and have dedicated "study time." All this to say, any figures I put out wouldn't accurately reflect what it would take someone to complete a course at WGU unless they had my background knowledge and unconventional techniques.
