That certainly is impressive!
I don't have children, but I have a 13 year old sister. I hope that she can do something similar when she's in high school. A lot of the exams I've seen are things that wouldn't be too difficult for her to tackle.

Very nice, congrats!
I would love to hear a thorough review of the NMJC classes! Are you guys in New Mexico or taking them via distance?
Good on the 15 year old too!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

NMJC has been amazing to deal with. Extremely friendly and helpful in every possible way. They have solved problems that came up for us.
The courses are straightforward and easy to understand. The science courses were pretty a. b. c. 1. 2. 3. ... not easy by any means but if you do your work things tend to work out. I appreciated that the courses were nicely laid out. The exams are timed, so while you can get text help you will need to know the material to find answers in time. He had an A, B, A in the science courses.
My son has been a very average high school student. I think he graduated with a 2.5 or something. So far college has been much more successful for him. He is holding a 3.54 right now.
We live in Texas, so all courses have been DL.

VERY impressive!!! As a mother to 4 teen sons, I know FIRST HAND that you can lead a kid to testing, but you can't make him CLEP. lol
Seriously, way to go! Nursing school is a big challenge, and I'm sure he's going to knock it out of the park!
