isn't this what AP courses are, more or less? if you get a high score on the BC calc exam, you can usually skip straight to multivariable or diff eq. I don't think this would work well on a larger scale. deciding your college major is one of those big life decisions. it's hard enough for most people to make a good choice by the end of their sophomore year, let alone at age sixteen in highschool. with writing in particular, there is a reason most schools require some sort of freshman writing seminar, and it isn't because high schools don't prioritize writing. in my experience at least, high schools spend a lot of time on writing skills, but still fail to matriculate many students who can meet expectations for college-level writing.
