Thinking about attending WGU (Western Governors University) or currently attending WGU? Is completing a degree fast what drew you to WGU and curious how to accelerate? See the success stories on graduating with a full accredited, respected, non-profit, Bachelor Degree in 6 to 12 Months? It is completely possible! Watch the video and follow these simple basic tricks:

1) Do not be scared to take the OA (Objective Assessment).

- Study the Practice Assessment. The question, the answers, the category of the question.

- Go on WGU Facebook Groups, Reddit, and Course Chatter within the Course. See what resources were the most helpful (whether it was the cohorts, reading, or some random person on youtube). Then, do that.

- Aim for 2 days per OA on easier courses like Critical Thinking. Aim 4-8 days for normal difficulty classes in your major. The Top 4-5 hardest courses, spend longer on. Two weeks or less. Although there are some hair pullers at WGU that might cost you a month of your time: Discrete Math II (Computer Science degree), Intermediate Accounting II (Accounting degree), and others. Account for time accordingly.

2) Do not over-write for the Performance Assessments.

- This is the biggest mistake people make at WGU!! Write the minimum for the rubric and turn it in! No Performance Class should take you more than 2 days.. 3 days if you're semi-busy, and 4 days if you're really busy. Worst case scenario is they send it back to you and you have to correct and add some things. For your capstone, take your time on that one. But even that, you're probably over-writing.

3) ACE Credits!!!!

You can transfer in 90 ACE Credits. These are courses you can take at places like Study.com, StraighterLine, and Sophia. 2 day courses that you can absolutely blaze through! You'll have to spend some money out-of-pocket but it almost ensures you will complete your WGU degree in 1-2 terms. I highly recommend ACE Credits.
