Some folks get all wrapped up in the notion of "speed testing"-- to see how quickly they can knock out a whole academic program. While efficiency can be a big deal when you feel the pressure, folks need to remember there are other advantages to the testing programs as well-- e.g. lower costs, working within your schedule, not having to drive to a college, etc.
For most degree programs, you need 120 credits for a bachelor's. If you complete one class/exam per month at 3 credits each, you will finish in 40 months-- 8 months fewer than a full-time student. Of course, this assumes you do not take summer breaks, etc.
While wrapping up a degree in a short period is always nice, 40 months is certainly better than never (or years of delay instead). . . which I'm sure many folks could attest to.
Well said! Just go as fast or as patiently as you need to.
