Studies show that the main reason students drop out of college is due to time constraints. Many find supporting a family or taking care of dependent children makes it too difficult to continue attending school in the traditional way. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded a study in which 71% of the students surveyed said work conflicts were a factor in their decision to drop out. Many students aren’t prepared and find that the college workload is far more than they expected. Balancing commitments and school is just too stressful for many students.

Here again, programs like Achieve Test Prep offer a solution. With Achieve’s credit-by-exam prep program, after a few short weeks of a prep course, you take and pass a single exam to receive a traditional semester’s worth of credit – eliminating the extra homework, essays, research reports, and quizzes. And Achieve’s courses are flexible, offering day, night, and weekend classes on one of our nationwide campuses or through online live virtual classrooms. Depending on your schedule and choice of degree, you could receive your degree in 2 to 3 years instead of the 4 to 6 years students typically require using traditional methods.
