My Son Will Graduate High School at 14 - Which of the 3 Big Schools Would Be Best?

[beargins]

My advice is to do CLEP tests. I understand why he is nervous but they are actually not that bad when one prepares for them well.
Why not do one CLEP with him as a show of solidarity and support? Pick one out that you are interested in and that he can use for his degree and learn it together.
I can tell you that the feeling I had when I passed my first CLEP was awesome. It was invigorating. I remember the drive home vividly. I took the top off the Vette and enjoyed the ride home knowing that I just bypassed an entire semester of a class with 2 weeks of studying.
There is no reason to fear the test when you have the REA books with the practice tests, this forum, Instantcert flashcards, and the exam specific feedback.
The people that worry are the ones that score low on their practice tests and take the actual test anyway. And a lot of them pass.
Go for it. CLEP and DSST exams are equivalent to RA credit and should be your first choice for transferability.

I agree with ryoder, he could spend a year (or two) studying and taking cleps, while he looks for an area that hes passionate about. I've been in love with computer science since I was about 12, but I had to go the traditional route through the Public school system. IMO I wasted time not focusing on areas that would benefit me most in my field of expertise. While hes clepping he can focus on his weak academic areas. For most that would be math or science. It sounds like hes got plenty of potential, but ultimately its about quality not quantity, and the biggest advantage on his side right now is the fact that he has plenty of time to develop those week areas.

congrats and best wishes to you, it must feel nice . Oh and btw, make sure he has a lot of fun! I have a family but i still sneak off to ride my skateboard once or twice a week hahah.
