As for reality???? It's not my cup of tea -
Yeah, reality is a whole different ballgame.
The BAin4weeks degree plan is more of a theoretical scenario, to show us how the process of earning a degree via testing might work, than an actual schedule to follow literally.
The author of the site didn't actually take all those exams in the prescribed time-frame either. To do so would require studying for, taking, and passing 2 exams every single weekday for four weeks straight.
Even under the most perfect of conditions, this would be an untenable proposition.
The degree plan works, the order of the exams is feasible, and the advice about each exam is generally sound. But the time-frame Lawrie Miller describes on his web site is more of an organizational tool to succinctly present the information than an actual workable schedule.
But hey, if anybody is up for the challenge of passing 2 exams every day for an entire month, I would follow their progress with great interest and excitement. It would be one heck of an achievement, and I would be the first to call Oprah to schedule a well-earned appearance for them on her show.
hilarious
Twice now, I have managed to pass five exams in five days, but it's not for the faint of heart, and my brain was mashed potatoes by Friday afternoon. I can only imagine what it would be like to try and pass ten exams every single week for four consecutive weeks. Maybe it could be done, and you would have a degree one month from now. But you would very likely regress into a saliva-dribbling, goo-goo-ga-ga-speaking, thumb-sucking, diaper-wearing, fetal state by the end of that very same month.
hilarious
Good luck with that,
