Will stellar test scores make up for sucky rank?

the reason why there is no advanced chemistry or other such courses is because the levels themselves are probably already as in-depth as an AP subject in the American education system (Any of you in the US took calculus at 9th grade? Didn’t think so). Any more “advanced” and they might as well give me a degree upon graduation of high school =)

I don’t doubt it…altho everyone says their classes are hard, I’ve observed.</p>

actually, my [US] school system offers fifth/six graders who take the sat and score in the 50%-tile or better super advanced math and english. I took advanced algebra (normally a 10th grade course) as a six grader and I have a friend who took BC Calculus in 8th grade.

<em>groans</em> every year 5708924508943 fifth/six graders in my school district take the SAT…and get at least 80 percentile</p>
