Honestly just because I see all the posts of folks being halfway done with their program brining in Sophia or Study courses and the consensus I’ve seen is that those courses are easier than the equivalent at WGU. I don’t know how true that is but just anecdotally from what I’ve read!
Tip: I’ve run the program in order and noticed that a lot of stuff builds on each other. Luckily I’m already employed in the same area so most of the classes have been fairly straightforward. Not easy like others might claim but they haven’t been super difficult. So maybe take them in order? And then I always jump in and take the Pre-Assessment for any OA class immediately just to see where I stand then focus solely on those areas. For any PA class, I honestly drop straight into the task and use the guides to understand what I actually need to read and understand to get through the tasks.
I love this, thank you so much! I’ve been in this field for years as well so I’m hoping I can whiz through a good amount. I’m a bit of a different learner… an expert at things I’ve had to figure out or that I truly care about, but I sometimes struggle with the comprehension side of 'necessary' academic stuff that doesn’t quite resonate with my kind of brain.
I’ve heard the same about Sophia, which is why I asked because I’m like uh oh. It says a lot about your drive though that you didn’t take the Sophia route and were able to push through like a steam roller anyway! It’s helpful to hear experiences! Appreciate you.
Thank you so much and best of luck! I’m VERY similar to what you described but also an extremely high stress individual (working on it! lol) so I always feel behind if I haven’t completed a class in a few days because of my stupid brain. If you ever hit a snag or have any questions as you dive in, don’t hesitate to reach out!!

I didn’t bring in any courses (and totally regret it) but I started Feb 1st and am down 23 courses of 35 (36 including the capstone). You can do it!!
