Maybe they'll have you take prereq tests? I'm not sure how homeschooling works, but I'd think they'd just stick you in the classes that come after the classes you've already finished. Good luck

They might make you take a placement test but if you have taken standardized test you might not have to. Also it will not be to late to take ap test they register for that towards the end of the year good luck!

Where do most of the 2014 cc users see themselves in their grade? Top of their grade?

Another complaint against my school district: I would take summer courses, but I've only recently found out that due to the summer school being initially setup for remedial classes/failing students, if one were to take a summer course, it would be negative toward his or her weighted GPA, and class rank.

@ATPmolecule--I do see myself at the top of my grade. Not valedictorian by any means, but definitely in the top 20, which is around top 4%.

@ATPmolecule: I go to a small private of around 100 people per class, and we don't rank, but I'm pretty sure I'm top 5.

Ok, so some of the smarter people, so my whole entire grade at my school is about 19 people strong!

I'm probably one of the smarter people, but with close to 800 kids, it's hard to stand out as really smart.

@Chapen11 I would, but I'm both too lazy to do so, and I feel as if I'd have a better learning experience in a live classroom, compared to the current selection of online education companies

@atpmolecule top of my class, yes, but tied with 3 or 4 others. Maybe just below one kid in my grade (the super freak genius kid that makes your 98th percentile IQ look like his divided by 3-you know, that one)
I think anyone on COLLEGE confidential as sophomores are bound to be pretty enthusiastic and motivated, otherwise you wouldn't be here, so the data is quite skewed.

I don't think my school ranks, so I have no clue statistically. Probably top 10% we have a bunch of undercover geniuses at my school, who would've thought?..

@ATPmolecule: I'm within the top 6% of my class, barely. 27th out of 457 students. Hopefully next year I'll move into the top 15. Silly B+ in Geometry. So much regret.
