My son placed out of the first two semesters of calculus when he went to the university level and did fine. Many schools have a credit by exam or placement or old online syllabus for the courses that your son can use to double check where he is with their presentation of the material. If in doubt, he can ask the math department when he tours the school or signs up for classes. If he knows the material cold then he is liable to think that it is too easy if he repeats the first semester and coast up till he runs into a tree and can't catch up. However, if he only knows the material a little then repeating it is prudent to drive the concepts into his long term memory. Good luck to him.

Did you read the book also or just your daughter? Just curious, I have been using it so that we can have a new enough text to count and find the way that "Chemical Impact" and other inserts jump into the middle of topics to be extremely disruptive to following the explanations. Anyway just curious if this bothered any of you as well.

I am working on the counselor part of the common application for my son and came upon what should have been an easy thing, but I was not sure of the answer. The application asks for the high school name. I have read multiple articles recently about how it is important to identify as a home school so that certain scholarship prospects are not delayed by attempting to verify the high school. So are most of you answering <I am /was homeschooled> which would be correct for the student, but for most of us not correct for the counselor or <I don't see my school> and entering the information?
