Yeah, I took some Computer classes, which counts as a transcripted credit. As well as foods, media arts, auto tech 1 and 2, welding 1 and 2, woods 1 and 2, and algebra 2 and trig-pre calc all count torwards college credits

I opted in a calc course during Calculus class during senior year....if I had passed I would have gotten credit (for Pitt) and needn't had taken Calc again as a college freshman.


Needless to say, I ended up completely failing the final exam (leaving me in tears and miserable for the rest of the day I got the score back), thus failing to get any credit. Didn't count for the class, so I didn't fail the class...but yeah.

It cost my parents $200 and that was completely wasted...that failure still stings even though I passed Calc in the first year of college. But that was the THIRD time I was taking it. The second was over the summer.

I'm not in high school yet, but my older brother did, sort of, he actually went to college when he was 16. I know my mom wanted me to take some but I don't know if she still does, and I don't want to.
