There was a loophole in the state laws. Children were permitted to take community college classes if they were tested to be gifted and talented. Our children were four years ahead in math due to our using Saxon math.

So....When a psychologist gave them an I Q test they scored in the 98% in mathematics. That was their ticket to get them into the community college. Once they had a certain number of community college credits the state university ( by law) were required to accept them.

We didn’t have a loophole. I was gifted and talented (reading college level at 7 and doing college math at 10) and had an IQ test that put me over `160 but even the Community colleges would not let me in until I had the CHSPE which I had to be 16 to take.
