The idea she presents is that one can theoretically test out from start to finish in 4 weeks IF you are already capable of passing every one. The 4 week timeframe includes the actual testing only: she does not account for processing time on the college's end, or studying time for you.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the way she makes it all sound so easy could very well lead a person into a false sense of confidence regarding the tests and end up failing some of the harder exams.
All that said, it is a good website, and my degree plan is loosely based on her framework. I will warn though that some information is out of date. For example, it is no longer possible to test out of a Business Degree from Excelsior; you need to take at least the capstone course.
I believe Lawrie Miller is a Guy not a Gal! He authored a great guide post for people who wish to make a dream a reality.
