r/WGUIT

hey guys, im currently expecting to start my IT coursework in a few months. I'll be eligible for a pell Grant for 1 year, but it likely won't be able to follow me the next year due to a significant increase in income for next years fafsa. i am ultimately interested in cloud, but I am unemployed, so time is of the essence.

does anyone know which of the two degrees would be easier / faster?

I have completed all of the gened sophia classes, and I am currently working my way through A+, and i hope i can have the trifecta plus itil done before i start the degree program. I have also completed all of the sophia gen Ed's that I can.

I know the job market is rough right now, but I am very willing to relocate to a few different places if necessary.

even if I did the general IT degree path I would likely still do the cloud certs on my own time and try to move over to that in time.

Hi everyone! I'm a single mom of 2 (shared custody) and work full time as a business/data analyst for a large insurance company. I've been in this field for 4 years and have been considering returning to school to further my knowledge in data analytics. My undergrad degree is not in STEM - I have a BS in Business Administration. I have experience in SQL but am not super advanced. Of the 3 specializations, DE looks most appealing. What's the workload like? Lots of programming and math? I know it's not as heavy on those as the data science specialty but am still wondering how much of it to expect.

I'd have to take classes part-time, and I'm wondering if it's worth doing the WGU pay-by-term route, or if a traditional part-time university program would better suit my situation. Any and all advice is appreciated.

If you're new to Spreadsheets like me, Here is a section that I was stuck on, I used the guide video that was posted on here from a few years ago and YES its true what everyone says, he gets lazy at the end and I don't blame him one bit. But because of that laziness i was stuck trying to figure out the Salary Expenses Portion for a few hours until i figured it out. I took a screen shot below and written out the steps on the screen shot, feel free to use it to your will. Your Welcome. Please feel free also to correct anything i put down as well. Maybe i might of missed a few steps.

the official site for checking gate cutoff is https://admissions.nic.in/admiss/admissions/orcrjacd/105012521

But it had problem that you can't sort the data according to score. without it you can't use it.

So i extracted the data and created a site where I can easily check cutoffs and find the best for me.

Sharing here so everyone can use it for free 😄.

This class is pretty simple, If you can pass the pre test on first attempt without looking at the course material just look over each question and the 4 multiple choice answers and make sure you understand each answer provided. Right or wrong. The OA and PA are similar but slightly different. To make sure I understood each answer I just put them into chat gpt and asked for an explanation and that gave me the information I was lacking to pass the OA. Good luck guys.

Hi, I’ve been studying for this exam and I saw some comments saying that Quizlet questions are really good. Is there anyone who has taken the exam recently, and what did you use as a study source?👀

Hey guys, I’m simply on this forum for opinions. I am looking to apply but I am hesitant. I wanted to do Cybersecurity or Data analysis, but I’ve seen a lot of videos and information steering me from them. Basically saying they do not teach, and it’s only worth it if you already know the field.

So, any suggestions or recommendations? Please I really want to further my education/career path, and I am in a great point in my life with my availability to do so. So before I dive head first, I’d like some more information.

Hello everyone, is anyone accelerating through the new MSIT Program? I'd love to hear how it's going. I'm hoping to complete it in 1 term, but I already have 3 courses transferring over from the BSIT.

Hi y'all,

I apologize if this question has been asked a million times; it seems like most posts are from over a year ago. I just wanted to ask if any of you guys have transferred over to the new BSIT program, and if you have, do you regret it?

I was asked if I was interested, mainly because the Web Dev portion of the old IT program is a little irrelevant (to me at least), and the new BSIT program has a more hands-on approach and more Python. It would only add 1 additional course to my current degree plan, and I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and swap over. I am not a huge fan of PAs but I'm willing to live with that if I never touch web dev again.

I'd love to know what you guys think. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone has dealt with this, but when I first scheduled my exam, the time zone was wrong and I had to take my exam within the hour! I was not prepared so I failed by one question.

I told the instructor this, and that I even called People Cert’s support like and the representative couldn’t figure out the time zone thing either.

I asked the instructor if I could get an extra voucher if I needed it, and she completely disregarded my question. Not only that, she told me to do a bunch of coursework before I could get approval again. I finished last term with retrying- and kept moving forward with other courses.

The practice exams she has are horrible. I saw many students gave bad reviews. It has 2.6 stars- and she still hasn’t changed this.

Besides being highly unresponsive and taking forever to email back, I now have time to take the exam this term- tonight actually! And of course, no answer.

I’m trying to request the voucher to no avail.

I have no idea where to begin with this course. I’ve been putting it off for about a week. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to get started. The course material seems useless

I passed intro to Python in about one week started around May 3rd. I used only the Zybook for the material. Was my first Proctor U exam and took about 30-40 minutes to just get the approval to start the exam. However, when I was actually taking the exam itself wasn't that bad. I have a small room so finding angle for them to see my mouse and monitor require me to move my set up a little further away from the wall so they can see the mouse. Overall the class wasn't hard but was a pain in the butt to get into the exam lol.
