I'm a home schooler and I want to skip 8th grade!!! HELP!?
I am currently in 7th grade and I want to go to high school next year. I don't know what I would need to know for 8th grade. I am currently doing pre-algebra, and 8th grade English. Is there anything else that I need to know? Would I have to take a test??? If you are in 8th grade what are you learning?
I won't be a freshmen for 2 years!!!!! And for my state Pre-Algebra is a 8th grade subject.
It wouldn't be public, it would be a christian school with some of my friends
I have to go to school next year and I want to be with my friends

If you are a homeschooler does it matter what 'grade' you call yourself? Are you planning on going to a public or Christian highschool next year? Why do you want to skip? I am in 6th grade doing grade 7 ABeka LA, Teaching Texts grade 7 and have covered all science and history outcomes through grade 8. Do I want to skip? No! Why? I am only 11 and I have so many more things to learn. This past year I did a science text on Marine Biology and found it fascinating. Next year I might do the Grade 12 text on Marine Biology to continue my studies. I also want to do British Literature soon - Mom says she'll order the Sonlight one for me next year...yipee! So, like I asked before, why do you want to skip a grade? I think life is too crammed with great stuff to try to rush through it.

You could skip but you'll have to take a test, and pass state testing if you have them. I'm not too sure about your math, I think you may be behind. I took Algebra in 8th grade, and that was a high school class. If you do poorly on your skip test, they can lock you out of trying to skip again, because you wasted their time, and paper. Also i believe it costs money. Good luck!

It varies from state to state. (we don't know where you're from)
Why would you want to skip 8th grade anyways? Considering the fact that you're homeschooled, I would seriously question your preparedness for a public high school even if you went through the 8th grade. What's the rush?

If you're transferring to a high school, I believe you need to test into your grade level (I knew one guy though who tested in as a freshman instead of a junior (he was supposedto be a junior, so now he's going to be 20 when he graduates).
