Credit by Demonstrated Mastery is an option in our school district. I have wondered if taking the assessment for Biology to show mastery and go on to the next class might be an option for DD11. There are several reasons I might be interested in this for DD: she consistently receives high 90's in her 7th grade science class without trying. She took the 7th grade level Iowa (ITBS) at age 9 and received her highest scores in science (85th%)). She is already grade accelerated into 7th grade and the work load is usually easy. I asked DD is she is learning anything in science now. She had to think about it awhile and stated she learns "some things". Finally, at home she's a sponge for science Youtube videos so she likes science quite a bit.
So, the idea of giving her the opportunity to take higher level science sounds good. What are the pros and cons? What do I need to think about with this option (would it adversely affect college applications for example).
