In sixth grade, I was bumped forward to seventh grade math because, well, I 
was bored.
That and I got a 790 on the SAT math at the time.

I took geometry, then algebra II, in seventh and eighth grade. That 
corresponds to 10th and 9th grade honors math, respectively.

When I got to high school, my administration frowned on two things:
- I would have finished with all the math they have to offer (including the 
math class they send you to a community college to take during the day) 
after sophomore year.
- I took geometry and algebra out of order. (Don't ask me, I don't know why 
this is an issue either. I never got a straightfoward explanation.)

So I got held BACK two years at the new school (public) after getting 
pushed FORWARD two years at the old school (private)!

It sucked. Very hard.

Now I'm on the "regular" track for math, and I just finished taking BC 
calculus. (I'm a senior, if you don't know that.)
And, quite ironically, my normal math SAT score exactly matched the one I 
got in sixth grade :-)
