Having virtually no experience with algebra while in high school, there was a need to learn mathematics before attending college. A few months before college, I began teaching myself algebra and geometry in my spare time. When I took the college placement tests, I did so well that I was placed directly into a pre-calculus class, bypassing all algebra classes.

The United States Government gave me a battery of general aptitude tests. I scored extremely high on the tests, showing a remarkable aptitude for Investigative Skills. In fact, I scored in the top one percent. These same tests have been taken by millions of people. I took these tests before my extensive years of college.

While in grade school, I took tests to determine my relative level of knowledge for general subject matter. Although I did very well on all these tests, I demonstrated an outstanding knowledge of science, scoring at a college level.
