How long did BSIT actually take you, especially mixing in Study.com courses?

Hey everyone, currently working through the BSIT program and trying to get a realistic sense of pacing before I map out my term plan.

I'm using Study.com for a few of the gen ed and prerequisite courses alongside my regular WGU coursework, and I'm trying to figure out how to balance the two without burning out or falling behind on either side. For those who've done something similar, I'd love to know how many courses you realistically knocked out per 6-month term once you factored in a full-time job, and whether stacking Study.com courses on top of WGU actually saved you time or just ended up feeling like double the workload. I'm also curious if anyone has tips for staying consistent with self-paced study when there's no set class schedule to keep you accountable, and roughly how long the whole BSIT degree took you start to finish.

Yeah I know it depends on prior credits, work schedule, how much time you actually have per week, etc. Just hoping for some real numbers/experiences instead of the usual "it's self-paced, go at your own speed" answer lol. Trying to set goals that are ambitious but still realistic.

Thanks in advance, this sub has already helped me a ton with course order and test prep.

Thoughts about study.com

Been using Study.com for a while now and it's been working out better than I expected honestly.

Only thing I'm trying to figure out is the credit transfer timeline. Like how long did it actually take from the moment you requested your transcript to the moment your university officially accepted it?
