[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When asked for the college name and class you instead:

- post a link for a class for grades 6-8;

- post a second link for a class for grade 8+; and then

- post an insult, as previously mentioned, is your MO when cornered with something you don’t like.

There is no such college class. Colleges do not offer any for credit college classes that have no deadlines and no proctored exams. Please…stop with the nonsense.

Boy, you really are aren’t that bright! Seriously, you are so ignorant, but actually believe you are truly knowledgeable!

Take your time to read up about the CTY program at John Hopkins University, before you post again and embarrass yourself further.

There are two levels to qualify, for CTY level you need to test two grades above the current grade, for the advanced level the student needs to test 4 grades above. My son qualified for advanced in 3rd grade (proctored exam since you care that much about this detail). That’s not that special since there are probably thousands of kids passing that bar as well.

So all the 6-8 graders taking that Algebra class are actually capable of doing at least 8-10 typical grade work, usually even more advanced.

AP calculus is a typical 1st year college level class for STEM degrees. It is labeled 8+ grade because these kids are literally 4 grades ahead. They even have an award ceremony with a special category for kids that are 6 grades ahead by some nationally accepted test. At that point these distinctions are not that meaningful, but just to give you a rough idea on how accelerated some students are.

Trust me that these classes are more rigorous than remedial Elementary Algebra and Calculus at most community colleges. And not ti throw a shade at the cc, they just serve a different student demographic.

Also there are plenty of college classes that are open books, honors system exam, I’m guessing you didn’t go to college in US, otherwise you know this. I took many of them myself. [/quote]
