There's a special kind of genius that gets an A in math real math classes. If somebody got an A in a 5 hour calc with analytical geometry class then I want to pick your brain on everything because you're a damn genius.
i got a 34 in math on my ACT, then i tested so low on the compass test that i got placed into INTRO to college algebra. and because it did not even count for an actual 3 credit class i asked to be placed instead in Algebra 104, the lowest math course at my university that gave a credit.
how you may ask, HOW is that even possible to take every math course my highschool offered, including all of the computer science classes and physics, and test at the same level that hte average gas station worker tests at for college placement?
simple, my 7 key on my calculator didnt work. u werent allowed graphics calculators, and i borrowed an old Casio from some friend's junk drawer when we carpooled. my math teacher actually yelled at me for not asking to be placed higher than Alg 104, but i was a science major at the time and didnt give a fuck.
then in Algebra 104 first day the teacher announces anyone who wants to try and test out can take the 4 tests and accept (or decline and take the class) the average score for their final grade. so in 1 day i got 3 credits with a 98% in the class and fulfilled my undergrad math requirement.
i also took spanish 101 in my senior year to fulfill a humanitarian credit, and took 6 years of spanish in middle/highschool.
