How to unlock the Almost There achievement in Mass Effect 3 - Definitive Guide
If your preference is single player and you start with a fresh playthrough and no Mass Effect 2 import, you will need to do 2 playthroughs with the same character to have a chance of reaching 50. Even if you import a level 30 from Mass Effect 2 it will take approximately 15 hours to get to level 50 so multiplayer is the FASTEST way.

Single player: If you imported a save from Mass Effect 2, then you will get this pretty easily in your first playthrough since you will start at whatever level you left off at (ie. If you ranked up to level 30, then you’ll start at level 30). I ended up at level 57 and it took about half of the game to rank up from 30 to 50.
If you don’t have an ME2 save, then you’ll be starting from level 1 and your path will be much longer. You may need two full playthroughs to rank up this far.
Multiplayer: Online co-op is the quickest route to this trophy. You will need 875,000 experience points to reach level 20 in multiplayer. Each round takes roughly 20-30 minutes. On the bronze rounds that I completed, I averaged around 100,000 XP per round. On silver, it was over 200,000 XP. I got this on the way to getting Defender and it took about 4-5 hours to reach level 15. See the multiplayer portion of Peak Condition for the list of XP requirements to rank up.
