people can easily knock out WGU courses in a couple of days or even fewer
saw a post on WGU's reddit where somebody did the Natural Science lab by comparing how long it took to boil water with salt vs how long it took to boil without
I'm not sure any CLEP facilities are open at the moment, but I'm sure you could knock out WGU's American History faster than it would take to commute to the nearest CLEP testing center and complete a CLEP American History
there are many dedicated posters on reddit who complete a degree in year, some even in one 6 month term

Alright, here's where I'm confused then. Should I take the easier coursework at WGU or do the free CLEP exams?
I was under the impression that each WGU course took at least a week to complete but if some of them can be done in a few hours I may enroll sooner rather than later.
Right now, I have 90 credits to play around with. With the BSNOS program, there's a couple of certificates I want to get (Project+ and AWS ones) so I'm going to take those WGU courses. My thought process is that since I have to take 30 CUs with WGU I might as well get some certificates along the way. Then I want to get as much of the harder coursework out of the way so that I can actually finish my degree in one 6-month term to save money.
Is there a list somewhere or wiki posting on what the harder WGU courses are? I hear that the C393 & 394 A+ ones are pretty difficult.
