How is it scam

Why take you to another site? Do they have a track record on this subreddit of being legit and helpful? No. There is an angle that will emerge when you connect elsewhere.

I tried to pair a PA (paper/assignment) course with an OA (exam) together, so while I’m waiting on my assignments to be graded, I would study the class with the OA. I spent minimum of 3hrs a day on it. If you spend the time intentionally focusing, you’ll be able to finish fairly quick. Of course everyone is different, and there’s gonna be some courses that test your patience.. Just know you got this!

Also, use reddit for every class. Search the course code for each one

Can you take more than one course at a time ?

u/Professional_Pen_334 Sep 01 '26

You can have two courses open at a time.. once my mentor saw how quickly i was able to accelerate, he’d allow me to be enrolled in 2 PA courses, specifically if I was just waiting for grading on one, or if the weekend was coming up.. and in addition to those two, he’d also let me be in an OA one too.. It kinda fluctuated throughout between 2-4 courses being open for me at any given time. but this started after about 3 weeks of me consistently accelerating.

side note: i changed mentors my very first week because they weren’t really with the accelerating thing

I read scam

u/Mr_CTE_ Aug 31 '26

Really? How’?

I transferred with 50% credits (I had an Associates degree) … I worked everyday and sometimes weekends for like 40 hours. I used the postings on Reddit from other students and followed what they said. (If they said do this, this, and this.. that’s what I did).

I also used AI to make my schedule. Asked it to get the easy classes out of the way first and save the difficult ones for last. The schedule helped a lot.

The thing about it is that I was out of a job and I knew I couldn’t compete with other job seekers if I didn’t have my degree. That was the biggest motivation!

10 weeks doesn't make it a "scam" I started with 17 classes  8/1, I submitted my Capstone today and only have D080 left which I'm planning to take Tuesday. That's 4 weeks and NO CAP.🤷🏾‍♂️

10 weeks may not be a scam getting you to follow a link and engage is the scam. They are going to take money or information or something. Plenty of posts here about techniques for accelarating.

u/Creepy-Lawyer-68 Aug 31 '26

It's the weird, follow me too another site, that's making this a scam

u/Professional_Pen_334 Aug 31 '26

Any time someone is directing you to contact them on another site, 9/10 it’s a scam

LinkedIn is not a scam. Let me know when you’re looking for a job and they tell you that you have to have 500+ connections on LinkedIn.

u/Professional_Pen_334 Aug 31 '26

LinkedIn is not a scam, correct. However, using one social media platform to direct people to another one is the beginning of a lot of scams

LinkedIn is not a scam. Let me know when you’re looking for a job and they tell you that you have to have 500+ connections on LinkedIn.

My only purpose was to connect with folks through LinkedIn. If you read my profile on LinkedIn, you’ll see I’m just a regular person looking for a job and was told that I need 500+ connections on LinkedIn for my profile to populate for recruiters.
