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

[ss20ts]

I would say WGU overall is the hardest of all the colleges we recommend though not by a considerable margin. It is built for both beginners with zero experience and also works well for someone with experience. 

Most people who fail WGU do so because they don't transfer in enough credits and are surprised by the amount of work they must do. The all-or-nothing pass/fail exams can be tough for some subjects. 

You really FEEL the pressure when you are enrolled. It's not easy to maintain a fast pace of working 20-30 hours per week studying.

My first bachelor's degree I earned a 4.0. My second a 3.949. My MBA I completed with a 4.0. Yesterday I took an exam at WGU in a subject which I had no experience or knowledge in and did not pass it. I missed passing by 2-3 questions. I've studied for a week for this exam. It was NOT an easy exam. It's not a bunch of questions on definitions. It's all applying the terms and definitions and using them in various scenarios. That was the tricky part. I now have to work on a plan to retake the exam with my Course Instructor. I had a meeting with him this morning. I have to attend 2 cohort meetings this week, review the material I did the poorest on, and schedule another meeting with him in a few days. Then he will approve me to take the exam again. So no no one is passing anyone. And yes there is serious work at WGU. This isn't a diploma mill. I'm looking forward to the classes with papers! That's how I earned my 4.0 for my MBA.....all papers. I LOVE research so I'm happy to write a paper. Exams are so much more stressful to me.
