How can I graduate junior year?

Question

How can I graduate junior year?

Answer 1

what grade are you in now?

i know a few people that double up.

which means, lets say, you're a freshman, and you took regular math in 8th grade.

this would mean you could sign up & take algebra 1, 1st semester, and geometry 2nd semester.

and then the next year, algebra 2, 1st semester, and pre-cal, 2nd semester.

but you would have to do that for all your classes.

it all depends on how many credits you need to graduate.

i dont know if that made any sense, hopefully it did?

Answer 2

High school or college? Well either is do-able.  You just have to work really hard. High school look at virtual high school websites and take classes all year round. If you high school has a joint enrollment program with an area college, check that out with your HS guidance councellor.  College, same work ethic but remember that most scholarships don't allot for Summer sessions. You may need to get extra funding to stretch your dollars.  My question is...why are you in such a hurry to graduate?  If you are in a bad school or HS peer pressure is bring you down,  I understand hurrying through.  But if you are just in a hurry to get thru and get out in the real world.  I would suggest you rethink it.  The real world is a hard place to grow up in. Stay in a protected world as long as you can. Stay safe.

Answer 3

It all depends on your school.

In theory, it's often possible for students to finish a year early, but it's usually achieved through a combination of testing out of classes (via prior knowledge, AP course credit, etc) and over-loading on classes.

At my university, you were full-time with 15 credits/quarter. So, 45 credits/year. And we needed a total of 180 credits to graduate.

I tested out of five classes (or 25 credits) because of AP credits and prior knowledge, BUT my school didn't give me credit for two of those five classes--I just waived the need to take them.

Meaning, I entered college 15 credits (or one quarter) ahead.

If I'd then over-loaded (say, taking 18 credits per quarter, instead of 15), I could have earned an "extra" 27 credits in three years, putting me a total of  42 credits ahead of my peers. That's ALMOST means I could have graduated a year early.

So...my point is this: many schools have a baseline number of credits that you need to be considered full-time. Then, there's a bit of wiggle room. At my school, you could take up to 18 credits and still pay the same tuition. If you're super motivated (and you have the cash) you can opt to "overload," but you'll most likely have to pay extra for the class AND you'll probably need departmental permission.

This might be a bit confusing, but it's the best way I could explain it.

If you're already in college and you fill me in your school and major, I could probably find some more pertinent info. for you than what I've given here. :)

Either way, good luck! I wish I'd graduated early, rather than sticking around for the "experience"...and the bills, lol.

Answer 4

It depends on your district but if you have the right amount of credits already by your junior year all you have to do is go to your counselor and ask.

Answer 5

from high school or college?

HS, you could take classes at your local community college and test out of some classes

College, you can take LOADS of summer classes and take about 15-21 credits a semester and graduate very early on.

good luck, although I should warn you that some colleges don't like it when u do that and might have rules set in place to discourage that kind of behavior.

Answer 6

Finish all the required courses by the end of junior year.  Or you can drop out and take the GED, but it's not worth as much as a high school diploma - which you need a certain number of credits to earn.
