WGU's BS in Security, Start Date: August 1, Goal: 70CU in 1 Term

Nyblizzard

So September is behind us and it's time for an update. I was only able to complete two courses in August, while putting in good time studying for others. I can not stress enough how tedious it was to go through all of the Intro to IT material, I really feel like it slowed down my progress but no excuses for September. The IN-PROGRESS section reflects the courses for which I expect to complete in September. I've scheduled C394 for 9/4 and after that I'll be free to schedule other exams for which I believe I am currently ready for (C483, C178, C176). Here's to a productive September!

Passed my Network+ this morning. Barely passed with 732. It was nerve wrecking for me. Time management was the biggest issue. I spent 25 minutes on the first 3 simulations. Did not even have enough time to answer my last 3 questions. IMHO definitely not an easy exam as some people make it appear.

Hello all
Just wanted to update on my Bachelors completion.  Started off with bang back in 2015, but then life happened and I got slowed down considerably.  In any case, this morning I passed my final Capstone project to complete my degree.  WGU gave me 1 month free extension to complete my capstone.

Thanks
Ajay
