Actual classes at a University? Or college classes via distance learning? Because CA did not allow me to take the test before 16 and the colleges would not take me. This was in 88. 16 was the soonest (we tried before) I could start at a college in CA.

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.
