Your age in comparison to your education

  • The-Con     24th Jan 2012 Member 0 Permalink
    Hello
    Out of curiosity, I ask you what your age is in comparison to your education?
    Whether you are currently being educated or have previously been educated.
    If you don't want to share your age, maybe you can say how old you think you will be when you enter/leave university, assuming you will go.
    Personally, I am 16 and in year 12 (final year)and will be 16 when I graduate.
    If all goes well, I will be able to complete a 4 year university course by 20 and graduate at 21.
    So what about you?

    16, year 11 as it's called in the UK (dunno about the US equivalent), taking my GCSE's this summer.

    Then it's A-levels, and I hope to start University at 18/19

    I am a freshman soon to be taking college level mathematical classes. School sucks.
    Hopefully graduating at 20 from Lakeland Tech College.

    I see. Are you considered old/young/normal for your year?
    I am considered a bit young (in western Australia). I was meant to start the year after, but something happened...
    Are there any special circumstances to you education(s)?
    For example, I was at a disadvantage as I had a speech impediment that severely limited my ability to read, write and speak (therefore learn) until late primary school. (I recovered)
    The point of that boring story: do you have any advantages or disadvantages?

    14, in 9th/10th grade ( Canada education system, 9th grade of real school, 10th grade if you include kindergarden ) but I am redoing this year because I was 1 year ahead and I switched from homeschooling to public school.

    I am a bit old I guess...but not by much.
    Math is the only challenging class, and that's because of the teacher.

    Thats interesting. IQ isn't always a good indication of intelligence. For example, I have an average IQ, my friend has an IQ of 148... Most of the time he can't understand the concepts I talk to him about because they are too complicated. Most of my friends say I am "genius" or close to it due to my eidetic memory and wide knowledge, however my IQ is usually around 100.
    Maybe you need a doctor about ADHD, or else you may find your self unable to complete complex tasks.

    I agree.

    What are module exams?
    Here in Australia we simply have normal exams, mock exams (in preparation of the final exams) and WACE exams (which are the tertiary exams).
