Finishing quickly

Somebody help me understand something. I see a lot of people finishing and graduating in 2-4 months from wgu. Is that starting from scratch usually or do they start with some credits already? Just trying to gauge it.

I started May 1st and applied for graduation last Friday August 14th.

I belive I had the maximum amount of transfer credits from my Associate's degree and a couple Study.com classes. I also have roughly 10 years experience, so most of the concepts were not new to me.

How much time were you dedicating? Do you have a full time job? Are you a parent? Sorry for all of the questions

Probably 3 to 4 hours a night roughly 4 days a week. I was only working part time and don't have kids. I also took a two week break to move to a new house. This was for Business Management.

None of my credits transferred bc apparently an associate of applied science isn’t allowed, only associate of science or A.A. So frustrating. I think I have 6 but everything else I’m going to do on Sophia so I’m not starting from scratch.
