Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.
Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.
Ideally, you work towards an associates degree which then makes it even easier to transfer to a university. Many states have agreements between community colleges and universities where your associate’s degree counts for the first 2 years of studies and all of your electives. So when you start a university you jump right into your major. However, you will have to take more than just one class at the community college.
