Well of course you want to send them to WP, but that isn't until after the evaluation period. Besides, you can't test out of classes anyways. Even if you get a 5 on your AP test (or 7 on IB) and ace the SAT subject test, they will just put you in a harder version of the class.
Hmm. That's a unique approach. It might be better to do away with GPA as a metric in that case. Inasmuch as GPA is undoubtedly an important component of the OMS, a 3.5 GPA in elementary classes would give an "elementary" cadet more OMS points than a 3.3 GPA in advanced classes would give an "advanced" cadet. Something right there just doesn't seem ... logical, and sets the door wide open for a cadet, taking into account the natural human tendency to avoid pain whenever possible, to do just well enough in a class (high B, low A) to avoid the pain of getting bumped to a harder oneStart acing tests, you will likely be moved to harder sections. Seems a bit unfair at first, as it can impact your GPA.

sounds a little like a form of government we opposed during the Cold War that .... ah, never mind. I try to avoid political arguments as they get me too worked up.

I really want to validate chemistry and move right into physics. I took college-prep chemistry and AP chemistry my sophomore year with straight A's, I got a 780 on the chem subject test, and a 5 on the AP chem exam. Do you think it'll be possible?
