Years you have skipped academically?

<p>Skipped grade 1 lol. I’m a year ahead right now, I turn 17 a month before grad.</p>

<p>I started French in 7th grade… most people started in 9th.
I skipped a year of Latin.</p>

<p>But I’m definitely average when it comes to math haha</p>

<p>I got bumped up from first to second grade, though it doesn’t really matter.</p>

<p>Currently, as a junior, I take five APs (BC, US History, English, Spanish, Chem).</p>

<p>Wow guys your competence is no match to mine: Im a three year old at Harvard, scored a 2400, and I embarassed collegeboard by taking every AP it had to offer and asking it for a CHALLENGE.</p>

<p>1 year in math thats all :/</p>

<p>I legitimately skipped 1st grade. In 1999-2000 I was in kindergarten, and in 2000-2001 I was in 2nd grade.</p>

<p>I can’t exactly say how far ahead I am in all of my classes. I mean, you could say that since I’m taking 4 APs, I’ve skipped ahead to college. But before I was taking any AP classes, I was a year ahead in math, science, and Spanish (on track by my school’s standards, but ahead compared to every other school).</p>

<p>I feel like a member of the 12th grade class, even though I just turned 17 and should technically be in 11th grade. I think of everyone in 11th grade as younger than me, even though a lot of them are older than me. It hasn’t really been a problem for me, being younger than most people, probably because I’m a more chill, mature person that fit in with my classmates who are 1 year older than me. But it’s made getting my driver’s license tough, since all of my friends had their licenses before I even had my permit. It’s also going to be really hard when all my friends turn 21 without me.</p>

<p>That’s how I felt last year in 10th grade. Most of my classes were with juniors (AP Chem, AP Calc, Spanish IV, Physics). So, I skipped eleventh, and now I’m a senior. I was already young for my grade (born in Nov), so I’m in 12th grade and just turned 16 :slight_smile: There are actually a lot of sophomores older than me in my PE class (yes, I have to take 10th grade PE to graduate, it sucks). Luckily, there are a few seniors whose parents won’t let them get their licenses, so I don’t feel too alone…</p>

<p>I am a year ahead in math, if I stayed at my current school I would have finished with calc 2nd to last year of HS and take a university course for math (if I wanted to) my last year.</p>

<p>When I graduate HS I will have only have had 11.5 years of school throughout my whole life. But that’s mainly because of all the different countries’ curriculums I’ve been in. If I go to college in the US, I will be a 17 year old freshman.</p>

<p>I am a technically a year ahead in math. I’m in Calc AB as junior while most people are in Trig/PreCalc or lower. I also skipped second year Latin but since I did not start it my freshman year, I am in the same grade as the other kids in my Latin 3 class.</p>

<p>A year ahead in Math and Spanish :B</p>

<p>Technically(Online course), 2 years ahead in math. Or since Calc is becoming more commonplace, a year ahead in math. Science wise… it’s all up to choice.</p>

<p>My parents told me a few days into sophomore year that I could’ve skipped 2 grades when I was younger, but told me they didn’t allow me to.</p>

<p>And now I’m bored in these classes.</p>

<p>Weirdly. I’ve never actually skipped a grade… but I have skipped material academically. </p>

<p>In first grade, we pretty much skipped first grade and went straight to second grade on our material, so when I got to second grade, I had transferred to a public school, and it was all a repeat. And then I returned to private school for third grade. So you could either say I skipped the first grade or the second grade, since public schools were a year behind my private school academically.</p>

<p>In sixth grade same thing happened… kinda. In fifth grade, I was still in private school… and then I switched to public school for sixth grade. We had all the same textbooks and so the entire year was a repeat, and then I transferred back to private school for seventh grade… So I basically skipped the sixth grade, since the only thing new that I learned was French. And with that… I actually skipped the first two levels of French and it wasn’t technically allowed to start French in sixth grade, but they made an exception for me.</p>

<p>Other than that… I can’t really think of anything I’ve skipped… It isn’t really allowed here.</p>

<p>You can’t skip around here because all the schools, at least in my area, have minimum class requirements in order to graduate. This means you have to take 4 years of Math, 4 years of English, etc…so if you skipped ahead to Algebra II freshman year, you’d be SOL after taking Calc AB junior year b/c our school doesn’t have Calc BC or Multivariable Calc or anything like that, so you basically wouldn’t be able to take a math class Senior year and wouldn’t graduate.</p>

<p>I skipped a year. Can’t say it affected me negatively, but I can’t say I’d do it again if I was given the option. The fact is that no-one cares that I’ve skipped a grade. This includes college admissions people (I asked them 2 years ago when i was applying). Honestly, I even forget sometimes.</p>

<p>I started Pre-K a year early but since I’m from a country where grade skipping “isn’t the done thing” I spent two years there, which my parents somehow think benefited me. The teachers were teaching me to read while I was reading A Little Princess at home… hmm. </p>

<p>I skipped eighth grade and I’m accelerated in math - Single and Multi-Variable Calc as a sophmore. :)</p>

<p>Two years ahead in math, 1-2 years ahead in science, and my school doesn’t allow honors or AP anything else until you’re a junior so for now I’m taking the most challenging classes possible.</p>

<p>I’m two years ahead in Math, which only a few kids are in my high school. My middle school advanced all the gifted kids two years when we got in.</p>

<p>I’m also a year ahead in science</p>
