I now have 6 pre assessments at 90%+ (with 2 more in the works) and the course instructors for the natural science lab have approved my topic. Technically I haven't even started yet :-P, but at this rate I can have around 30 credits done in the first 2 weeks.

Objective Assessment (essentially a final exam that's either written by WGU or a 3rd party certification test).

So 9 pre assessments down and ready to take final exams for, and I've just finished writing up my natural science lab. I think my program mentor is in for a shock tomorrow.
"Yeah, I'm ready to finish 10 of the 15 classes I need to take...on the day I'm starting"

Also, OAs for Critical Thinking & Logic and Network & Security Foundations scheduled for Wed/Thur respectively.
And finally, a quote from my Program Mentor:
"I just approved your requests! This is going to be fun! (-:"

You're given access to orientation on the 15th of the month before you start. Knock that out on the 15th, and it gives you a 2 week head start. You can even contact course instructors before you start. I had to do a science lab, so I emailed the instructors with an idea I had for a lab. They gave me a few ideas to tweak my hypothesis and then approved my modified submission. I did the experiments and submitted the paper the day I was approved for the class. WGU allows you to get ahead of the ball if you take advantage of it.
