I had such high test scores that I actually tested out of needing to take college level English classes. When I go to apply to graduate I was told that I didn’t have enough credits and I explained that’s because I didn’t need to take English. I was then informed you still need a certain amount of credits to graduate so while I didn’t need to take English I needed to take something. I was forced to take a bowling class over the weekends to make up the credits in time in order to graduate. You pay for each credit a class is worth so I felt like that was such a waste of money.
No it’s how college works, you need a minimum amount of credit hours to graduate. I tested out of multiple college classes, but I just filled my extra time by double majoring and just took 18 academic credits a semester. I could’ve just slacked and taken sailing or a “fun” class but wanted to do the double major.
