My son didn’t place out; I’m pretty sure he looked thru exams but knew he would do best taking the classes. He went to a large HS, nothing special with math or science. He took many classes at the local U. I think MIT did give some credits. I forget if just in humanities, which turned out to be good at Caltech. They had a favorite psychology teacher; I heard her students present projects, and I could see her enthusiasm.

On the opposite side, my son left HS as a junior. Be taking an English class at Caltech -within specifications- he was able to get a HS degree.
