Skipping the Last Year of High School in the USA Through Proficiency Tests

[DragonDF]

A new update today:


Happily, I received a reply from a real person from Penn Foster. 
I will adapt the message and not just copy and paste. But the most important idea will be here:

After reviewing his high school transcript, we can better understand his academic standing and estimate how quickly he could complete his studies. We allow a maximum transfer of 15 credits out of the required 21, meaning he must complete at least six credits with us. If he only has these six credits left, can he finish them in one month? Our program is self-paced with no minimum time requirement. Although it's rare for a student to complete six credits in just one month, it is technically feasible.

This was explained before here by @bjcheung77

In terms of ACE credits and the Sophia partnership, these options are more closely associated with our Penn Foster College division. To take advantage of these, a student must first complete and graduate with a high school diploma.

I understand that I can not transfer ACE credits or Sophia to be used for the High School Diploma. Is this correct?

About Associate of Science in Computer Information Systems:

Yes, we offer the Associate of Science in Computer Information Systems.

Although he cannot pursue the high school diploma and college degree programs simultaneously, it is still feasible for him to complete both within this year, especially if he has transferable credits. We accept ACE credits for the college program, pending the evaluation of official transcripts.

Additionally, we accept up to 75% of transferred credits to fulfill the program requirements.

Maybe @bjcheung77 can explain how to develop this plan.


About tuition costs:

Although we do not provide scholarships, we do offer monthly payment plans.
The best discount is available for those who pay in full. Additionally, we have reduced tuition fees for students who transfer credits.
For instance, the current cost of our high school program is $1,469 with automatic monthly payments of $55/month. If paid in full, the price is discounted to $1,049. If the maximum number of credits (15) are transferred, there is an additional $300 discount, reducing the total to $1,169 ($55/month) or $749 if paid in full.

The best price is $749. I imagined it related to the number of years he had already studied High School. But not, it only relates to the total credits: 21 and how many he already has.



What is the best strategy to finish High School fast?
