Do you have to be super smart to finish WGU? What can you do to eliminate any doubts

[MNomadic]

There are 2 ways to a pass a course, either you pass a test or you submit an assignment. For tests, you either pass or you don't, there's no subjectivity where a professor can just "pass" you, it's autograded. You have theoretically up to 5 chances to pass a given test and once you fail, they will give you resources and a study plan to help you succeed. If for whatever reason you can't pass, you'll have to drop that class and pick a different program. For assignments, there are designated graders that you'll never interact with so no amount of sympathy from your instructor will help. However, assignments allow unlimited attempts and they're not difficult as long as you follow the rubric to a T.

How quickly have people managed to finish the Information Technology, Software Engineering, or Computer Science major, while working full time? Maybe not remotely at a demanding job or maybe remotely?

The only answer to this question is it depends. There are examples of people finishing degrees ultra fast and there are examples of people finishing closer to the "normal" speed of conventional colleges. There are also examples of people not finishing at all. I can promise you that all the "ultra accelerators" are outliers and you shouldn't count on replicating their results unless you're very confident in your abilities(very good at learning/test-taking, lots of preexisting knowledge/experience, lots of transfer credits, lots of time/dedication, etc.)

I know it seems like there's a million examples of people graduating in 6 months out there, but I can promise you that for every "I graduated in 6 months" article/post/video, there's at least a hundred who took multiple years or even dropped out.
