Is it possible to complete 12 Sophia courses with min 97% per course in 3 months?

The challenge is learning and finishing 12 Sophia courses (mostly 100-200 gen eds ones) in 3 months with:
. A minimum of 97% per course
. The same level of mastery as 4.0 student who did those same courses in school
. No cheating (the challenge is not copy-pasting from the textbook efficiently Big Grin )

My time commitment will be 20 to 25 hours a week.

For those of you with experience with Sophia Courses, do you think it's doable?

I don't wanna lose my face Big Grin
I didn't get a 97% on any Sophia course I took, though I never did the practice milestones. 

93% is considered an A by U.S. standards, and for the most part, there is no reason to get high Sophia scores.

Also I have a question about the open book nature of Sophia.

I'm very skeptical of it.

Do milestone questions require mastery or can you just pass them by finding where is the answer in the course material?

SL does open book as well. As with anything, what you learn and retain is about your process. I wouldn't blame the provider.

I've looked into both. They're pretty much the same.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't study.com more respected than Sophia (by grad schools).

In term of trustworthiness:
Clep and DSST > Study.com > Straighterline > Saylor Academy > Sophia

CLEP, you can pass by answering around 50% of the questions correctly, hardly a mastery of a subject, though CLEPs are accepted by most colleges.

I can't speak for every school, but at least for TESU ACE credits are listed on the transcript together, and you can't tell if something was taken at SL, Study.com, Salyor, or Sophia. CLEPs were listed separately.

If you apply to grad school, it is possible some colleges may request your scores from these alt credits. In the vast majority of cases, this isn't a concern I would worry about.

If I had 3k, I would've used study.com for everything Big Grin

Study.com limits you to 5 courses per month. That could extend the time it takes you to get a degree.

In terms of the best quality of videos and something that feels like an actual college course, onlinedegree.com is best for this IMO.

Study.com has these weird cartoon stick figure videos that kind of freaks me out.
