    That will depend on the college that you are thinking of attending. I would contact their admissions office and see what they have to say about testing out of some courses.

    Your other option is to check with local community colleges. Many of them have programs for dual credit (one class gives you high school and college credit).

    Good luck!

    PS... you have started applying to colleges already, I hope? Most schools' financial aid deadlines are coming up, and housing deadlines are usually in November of the year before!

    There are tests called CLEP tests that you can take to get college credit. Look here:
    About the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

    Hope this helps!

    Also I don't know what program ( if you are using a program) but some of the homeschool programs are connected or have connections with some colleges, which allows you to do some during your last year of high school study.

    But as noted when you decide on a college, their admission depart can help you with a lot of the info. There are testing you can do for credit not to take the course.
