Okay,

So, I just discovered: Overview of process - BA in 4 weeks degree guides

In the process of reading the site.

Is it saying that one can get their BA or BS in 4 weeks?

Just trying to begin a discussion about this site.

Thanks!

Based on my manic learning binge where I went from 86 credits to 120 in six weeks or so, I would say forget about it. I looked at that site a while back, and there were a few good ideas there, but you would have to be a super genius to meet that schedule. And, why would you want to do this? The title gets it lots of attention.

This forum is the real deal. There are people here that are working at max speed, and others who are taking it slower. I would advise you to take as long as you need to finish your degree unless you have a compelling reason to finish quickly. Find that magic point where you are not stressed out, retaining the info in long term memory, and moving forward at a good rate .

While you can do crazy things like take three tests in a week, you will live a much better quality of life, and learn more, if you slow it down a bit. The key is knowing when you are ready to test, and then going for it.

I am down to one test every two weeks and loving it. That is a rate of 75 credits per year, and very doable for me. If I slowed down a bit to one test every three weeks that would be around 50 credits per year, which is not to shabby either.

We should all be thankful that you can't get a BS online in 4 weeks, because that would make our degrees worthless.

I do remember a lot of silly stuff on that site like, "You will be taking three upper level exams today, so do be sure to relax between tests", or something to that effect. I don't know about others, but I am drained enough after one test that I just want to go home.

That web site actually has a pretty good plan, but the pace is unrealistic. I do remember being inspired by it also, but after a few tests I knew that I could never work that quickly.

Best of luck!
