The slightly frustrating part is that I had to take off all but one day of October, all but 2 days of December, all of April, and almost all of May.Looking back, I think I could realistically have done it in under 5 months instead of 9 if the timing had been better.

I was lamenting to my advisor immediately after enrolling about how long it would take for me to finish a degree, and she suggested taking a couple of CLEPs to knock out some of the gen ed requirements.

I took American Government, and while searching the web to see what other tests were available, I stumbled on these forums...and the rest is history!

Another IC success! Great Job! Good luck in your future endeavors.
