Date: April 22nd, 2026 10:52 AM Author: splenetic thirsty center roommate 19 classes in one month!! I started in January and completed 19 courses in January!! I only have 10 left but I’ve been struggling with these. I wasn’t even sure I could finish in one term but it’s definitely possible! I work 55 hours a week so I’m super proud of my progress!
ALSO no I’m not cheating and yes I do have knowledge on the field I’m in. Business management program. |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 10:55 AM Author: splenetic thirsty center roommate I'll tell you how, you have different lives, this person could be Neil degrease Tyson. Or they could be one of those dedicated insanely hard working people or they could've bet 5thousand dollars with someone or their brother could've got in trouble with the cartel and they will execute their brother on camera humorously if they don't finish 19 classes in a month and post it on the WGU sub Reddit or-all of these together see how that changes things? You on the other hand have adhd which would usually put you in an even worse spot than the average person. Moral of the story get more info before making judgements and stop comparing yourself period if your not considering things like personal goals eg how this person has made the decision to go fast and you may not have made that same decision. I could compare myself to Usain Bolt and get mad I'm slower than him when I'm a homeless man trying to survive and he's Usain Bolt see not fair.

Date: April 22nd, 2026 10:56 AM Author: splenetic thirsty center roommate You aren’t doing anything wrong. People come into their programs with different levels of experience and abilities.
For example, I’ve passed 3 classes in 4 days for my Business Administration program, but I’m in an upper leadership position with over 300 employees reporting to me, so a lot of the stuff in the OA/PA is stuff that I do on a regular basis. It doesn’t mean I’m doing something right and you’re doing something wrong, I’ve just got a lot of experience that’s relevant to the courses. |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 10:57 AM Author: splenetic thirsty center roommate I finished my MBA in 1 month. I was going to write up a big post with tips and tricks, but that’s already been done so well.
My additional advice would simply be to…
First, communicate with your mentor and inform them of your realistic timelines. If they’re off a certain day of the week, you need to have them approve courses beforehand. They’ll probably do so when they know they can trust your realistic timelines.
Second, I didn’t see anybody mention this - vacation from work. I built up vacation days and used 4 of them throughout the MBA just to focus on papers. Ethical leadership, for example, was a ton of writing. I just made a solid 8 hour day of it.
Third, structure your papers ahead of time. I would use the template and fill in headings (ex “A” “A1” “B” etc.). Then I would, in Microsoft Word, add “Comments” to the headings. The comment would be both the instructions “A - Write about how to get your MBA so fast” as well as the competent rubric wording, which might be “The Reddit poster identifies 3 things that helped him get his MBA so fast.” Then I would just keep my flow going. If I found I needed to look up a detail I would just mark the spot with a highlighter and keep going. Then, I’d come back and fill in all my highlights and mark “resolved” on comments when I felt I met the criteria. |

The consistent theme is that this is THE BEST possible thing you can do for your future, and everyone is immediately employable upon receiving their "confetti" (graduation screen on the website).
It's conventional wisdom that WGU is "regionally accredited" which is significantly HARDER to obtain than "national accreditation" and that you should complete as much of your WGU degree via an affiliate website "sophia.com" or "study.com". These websites have no proctored exams so you can cheat without any difficulty at all. WGU allows you to transfer in almost half of all credits from these websites.
Because of the innovative competency-based education, people report completing 1 to 2 classes PER DAY toward their degree.
In general, one can obtain an entire "4-year" degree in "software engineering" in less time than it takes to read 40% of a single sophomore algorithms textbook
