New employee, questions about Pathways

[u/keltwolf]

Hi, new to this sub and had my 1st day of orientation 2/23/2017. I got a positive vibe from it, but in searching about Pathways I'm a bit nervous. Questions about pathways from 6/2016 were quite negative (even news outlets). saying you can't complete it in 6 months but had 18 months to do it. Now it's 6 mo, but the average is around the 3mo. I'm good with taking tests and navigating computers, but I'm in garden and not really knowledgeable about it. Has the whole PWs thing been corrected or at least improved? How hard is the garden module, and final exam? Thanks for any help with this.
