## Are You Cut Out for an Accelerated Bachelor’s Degree?
In a [recent College Board survey](https://www.collegedata.com/cs/content/content_payarticle_tmpl.jhtml?articleId=10064), it was reported that the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2015–2016 academic year was $9,410 for in-state public schools, $23,893 for out-of-state residents going to public schools, and $32,405 for private colleges. With the cost of college continuing to increase, more and more students are looking for ways to shorten the time it takes to get their degree in order to save time and money. Depending on the field studied, an accelerated bachelor’s degree can be had in as little as 12-18 months, instead of the 3-5 years of traditional study. Do you have what it takes to be a good candidate for an accelerated program?

How does Achieve provide solutions that fit any of your quiz answers? First of all, Achieve will evaluate your needs to see if you have any previous credit or experience that can be transferred to the school of your choice, whether it is public, private, or online. Credit-by-exam is available for most core courses, so regardless of your major, at Achieve we will find which courses – and how many - you can take with credit-by-exam.
Achieve is flexible, with classes offered day or night, and on weekends. You can take classes on one of our conveniently located campuses across the country, or you can take our online virtual courses taught by the same qualified live instructors as found in the classroom. If you have any difficulty, our instructors work with you in a personalized remedial program to see that you pass your exam.
Best of all, Achieve’s credit-by-exam program completely eliminates Number 6 from the quiz above. There are no pop quizzes, term papers, group projects, or mandatory assignments. After a few short weeks of our [prep classes](https://atpco.io/college/5-signs-you-need-to-earn-an-accelerated-college-degree), you take one exam. Pass and you receive the same credit you would from a semester’s worth of class time and work in a traditional setting.

\* Only the latest pass/fail result per course per customer is used. We use approximately the last 24 months of results in our calculation. Customer failed results are only counted as part of this calculation if the customer completed the course, which is defined as at least 85% attendance and 85% completion of assignments for that specific course. Results do not include college entrance or state license exams.
\*\* Achieve Test Prep is a college education consultant and test preparation center that helps you earn your degree faster. Achieve Test Prep is not a college and does not issue degrees or give college credit. The programs listed above and elsewhere on this website are test preparation programs offered by Achieve Test Prep to prepare you to take exams from an independent accredited college or an independent testing center. Achieve purposefully remains independent and does not align itself with any college nor do we commit to any agreements with any college. By being truly independent, we offer a non-biased approach to recommending the best possible college route to our customers. While Achieve Test Prep is very knowledgeable on the policies and procedures of many colleges, the final decisions about credits and degrees rest with the colleges. You must independently apply for and be accepted into a college.
