Yes, thanks for noting that... This was more of an alternative option for those who are accelerating, compacting their education, similar to homeschooling for college credit while taking classes for completion of high school, something like post #4 and #7 of mine here from yesterday: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...rts-Degree

I understand your intention, the point is this is the exam level below "homeschooling for college credit while taking classes for completion of high school", they won't give you US college credit. I know you know the UK qualification framework from your previous posts. The level that falls under both "homeschooling for college credit" and "high school" are level 3. These are only level 2.

I just thought it's important to note the difference so that nobody goes taking these expecting college credit out of it (since you mentioned IB, CLEPS, AP etc. in the first post), that's all.

I completely agree taking GCEs can be great for that though - my UK high school classes were worth over 50 US college credits on a Penn State evaluation. GCE A Levels exist in weird things you couldn't take a CLEP in too, so helpful for "weird" credits. Unsuspecting readers should be aware GCSE and GCE are two separate things that happen to sound similar is all I meant.
