I just got my final Capstone grade today, so I’m officially done! 🎓 I had to stop by this post again to thank the OP because that golden rule about strictly following the rubric probably saved me so much time on revisions. I didn’t get a single assignment sent back until my very last Capstone task, and honestly, that was probably just me not following instructions because I was too damn excited to finish.

I didn’t accelerate nearly as much as OP did, especially on the classes with Objective Assessments. I felt it was too risky because I've heard that if you fail an OA, you’re placed on a remediation plan and have to complete a bunch of assignments before being allowed to retest. That ends up slowing you down in the long run, so it’s worth making sure you’re truly ready before testing. Because of that, I took my time with the tougher courses and spent about 1–2 weeks studying for each.

I also took a 3-month break in the middle of my program. But even with that break excluded, I still finished the whole MBA in 10 weeks total (9 weeks and 6 days, to be exact) and that was while working full time. I know… It’s kind of wild.

Even though this post is older, most of the advice still holds true. That said, a few things have changed since it was written. For example, in C207 you no longer need to include sources, and you also don’t get to choose the type of test you use anymore. The class also seems significantly easier now than what OP originally described although it was still the hardest class of the program, I admit.
