ive already taken the pre-assessment for Intro to IT and The Organizational Behavior and Leadership class. So i plan to test out of those early.
What path do you all who have done this degree recommend? i already have a BA so my classes are basically just all core IT stuff. I need 77 unites to graduate.
I work full time too but want to use my GI BIll so i need to do 18+ units a term.

Good luck on your journey!!
I recommend doing all the database/programming classes first so when you get towards the end of the degree you can focus more on the Technical Writing proposal/Capstone Report which can take some time depending on your experience level. The hardest classes I had were the CCNA: Security and Scripting and Programming (mainly because I was out of practice) lol..*Associate's of Applied Sciences degree in Information Technology-Network Systems Administration
*Bachelor's of Science: Information Technology - Security, Master's of Science: Information Technology - Management

It depends on what your experience level is with Linux. Personally, I think the Network+ and Security+ are entry-level and much easier. I had prior experience so I was able to waive these classes.
My experience with the Linux+ was mostly review since I took it during my associate's degree. It took me a few months to take both exams brushing up on the command line syntax and specific OS parameters and general kernel information.

Did you study for:
Principles of Management - C483
Organizational Behavior and Leadership - C484
Either way, man that's great...I'm shooting to possibly take these during the Turkey day break and first part of December -

Also, I just took C697 (fist part of Linux+) and it wasn't that bad. I have a little experience but it's very command heavy. I'm finishing off my studying for C698, the second part now. I'm in the same boat as you, fearing the Scripting/Programming and Database classes. I'll be jumping into those my next term, which starts in February. I have 22 CU's so far and I started on 9/1. I have a wife and 3 sons, and a demanding job as a network engineer for a pretty large health system, so needless to say...I think I'm progressing pretty well so far. I have 49CUs to go until degree completion.

xdfever : Which process do you suggest for smart studies?
Take the pre-assessment the very first day and work on low-scoring areas? What worked for you for Intro to IT and Principles of Management? Did you go over the WGU provided material or just the quizlets? I plan on taking the both in the order you took. Just worried on WGU webcam's arrival, dont know when will i receive it.
