"lmfao. one of ur best postes ever callif.First of all, thank you! I try :)
btw, wut year r u in college? do u hav credits to graduate early or anything?"
Also, I am a junior in college (18 years old), but I will be graduating in about a year and a half. How's that for early! I don't want to blow your anonymity but I'm just going to assume you're in either high school or college, and if you are, this post will be of great help to you!
(Anyone else in college or high school reading this should be paying attention right now)
This is the way I did it, but many people seem to think they wouldn't be able to follow in my footsteps.
I dropped out of high school, basically just bumming around for a little bit. At that point I was learning a lot on my own, but not getting good grades, so we figure the best option would be to stop forcing me to go to high school and let me teach myself whatever I wanted to learn; homeschooling.
That's the part most people seem to flinch at.
Personally I think everyone is capable of it, you just have to realize that high school is not a good representative of pure learning, and if you were allowed to teach yourself whatever you wanted however you wanted to it could be a lot more fun... but that's besides the point, even if I could convince you highschoolers to homeschool, I doubt you'd be able to convince your parents... so we'll move on to the easier part.
According to the website linked above, CLEP is the "College Level Examination Program." Basically it's a bunch of tests designed to let you go to college cheaply, efficiently, and quickly. Each tests takes about 3 weeks to study for (4 months for a regular course), costs $70-$120 with the textbook ($1000-$1500 for a regular college course and textbook), and is anywhere from 3-12 credits (A one semester course is 3-4 credits). At least some of these tests are likely offered and accepted your local college. Go to the CLEP page on the College Board website (link given above) and follow the instructions on their page.
If you do plan on trying out some of these tests you should do a couple things. First, make sure that the specific test you want to take is accepted for credit at the college you want to attend. You would probably have to visit the website of the college to get that information. Second, make sure Amazon, eBay, or your local book store carries the REA Study Guide, which is by far the best way to prepare for a CLEP (the REA website also has them for sale, and although they're more expensive you get tons of money off if you buy 3 or more). These books have a great study schedule set up for you, as well as 2 practice tests to give you an idea of how well you'll do on the real exam.
Once you've done all that it's just a matter of taking the test and getting the credit for your newly gained knowledge! You don't have to be in high school or college to make this work for you either. Adults looking to further their education should take this offer into consideration as well!

Holly shitting tit-fucks. I wish someone would have told me that in high school. I don't have the time to study for any extra crap now.
How did you convince your parents exactly??
What did you do to "teach yourself?" did you just read a ton of shit?
And do you honestly not know who this is lol.
It really isn't very much extra studying... like I said, it's only supposed to take 3 weeks, but if it takes a year, that's fine too!
It was actually my parent's idea. They knew how much I read on my own and did some research about it. And yes, I just read a ton of shit lol
And no, I don't have a clue who you are lol
hint: the callif has spoken.
cmon meow.
