Yes that's possible. The tanner test is only to give you an idea, it's not telling you where you are it just gives you an idea.
That's very good for a 13 year old so be proud...your ahead of others. Your just developing faster than others that's all. No problem here dude.
We all develop at different rates remember, your just slightly faster.

Well, as that is very far in puberty for your age you are either very early or didn't fill it in right. I suggest you try to fill it in again. If it comes up with that then you're very early, but this may cause some problems. You can ask your GP if there is a problem and whatever, but it should be fine.

If you wanna know more, check this out, it tells you about the stage you are on: http://www.lavistachurchofchrist.org/LVstudies/GrowingUpInTheLord/Boys/Stage%205.htm

That's the thing that he did. The tanner quiz. It only gives you an idea, and it is possible, he could of done it wrong or he is just far ahead in puberty.

K. :-)

Really i can't see how you can do it wrong. If you press one button rather than another then it'll only reduce the overall score slightly. Anyway, dude theres no problem here.

why wouldn't it be possible? decimal numbers exist on the internet too. and that thing only gives you an idea. since puberty varies widely, its a very general poll.

yes thats possible theres probobly a 13 year old out there that scored a 5.0 and i think it depends on what age you start puberty at

Yep that definatly is possible because some people start to develop at 9 years old! Anyway i'd be more concerned if i wasn't developing at all rather than developing early!
