I really appreciate everyones input. I feel a lot better about it.
I actually would think that testing out would show you to be better at the subject than having to learn by classroom methods. In addition to learning the material it shows you can manage your study time well (how many times people procrastinate class work and only do stuff last min for meeting the deadlines), you can focus your attention without help from a teacher. But I guess peoples prejudices are hard to overcome, just like in homeschooling. (I homeschool my kid and get weird reactions to that too lol)
I will take advice you guys give to not bother with my old transcripts too. It's definitely time for me to start fresh.
