Hummm... I'll have to keep that in mind

.

Still, I'd rather just skip those classes and get straight to whatever the heck I'm going to major in.

From experiences asking questions of college admissions officers this year, the credit/placement given from an AP depends on what score you got (some schools give 3 credit, some 4, some only 5) and not at all on taking the class. But for actual admission they look at the classes taken more. So for the purpose of placement/credit, whether you took the class is unimportant. But you need to get in to the college first...

Good. That's the best idea. There were a lot of things that hadn't been brought to my attention in freshman year, and now I feel like I have to complete high school in only three because of some mistakes I made with classes.

But you're a sophomore now right? At least? (Heh, before this thread I thought you were forty.)

By schools giving credits, do you mean the colleges looking at you or the high school where you take the test? Honestly, I don't know; I've been ignorant.

You thought I was... forty?...

Dude, my DAD is only forty-two! My MOM is just over Forty!

Heh, thank you... I think

. What made you think I was forty?

I don't really know. Maybe it was because I read you in the Archive before ever seeing you post in other (non-fossilized) forums. And it looked like you had the 'elder authority' to pressure Bmilder for a name change successfully.

No no, I politely asked for one after that post (I think I asked Hobbit or Anduin, but I'm not sure) and I got it changed to Tessar sinec that's what everyone called me anyways.

Ah, well that's what I get for making silly assumptions. *partly shameful laughter*

Good luck in /High School/ then! Will you be entering into an excisting freshman class mid-year now, or will complete home schooling and then show up in September?
