Yeah, I tested out of high school by taking the CHSPE at 16 (you’re eligble once you turn 16… took it as soon as I could) started college then… it is possible to get out of HS and start cc early. A stipulation of CHSPE is that you can’t go directly to a 4-year, but I had planned on going the CC to UC route anyway so that didn’t bother me. I’m 18 now and am applying to transfer. If your son tests out now he can focus full-time on finishing up his college units and transfer as a junior (I don’t know how much he has done…).

Can you apply as a dropout… I thought you needed some sort of secondary school equivalency? Anyways, CHSPE is the easiest test in the world (took me about an hour for the whole math/reading/writing… I’d say it’s like eighth-grade level) so I guarantee your son will have no problem with it.
