Details:

I'm an international student living in California, 16 years-old now.
The class I'm taking is not worthwhile for me, I'm agonizingly dull for my school life.
I'm good at science subjects, I understand mathematics and physics that senior of Physics Department of MIT learns, and I understand chemistry and biology so I can expect I will certainly gain "5" grade in AP test. I'm confident I will do well if I join Physics Olympaid, but it takes so long time, it's not pragmatic for my desire. I'm sorry that there is no physics examination that I can take immediately and can be the proof of my ability.
In other side, I'm pretty weak in English, so I will take a several months to be able to gain good score in SAT.

So how should I do to go to university as soon as possible?

I'd like to go to a prestigious university, but I can't wait for my graduation and keep to be a "good student" like a student that will go to such a university. I'm not such a student but one who likes to study in own home through the day.

And could you tell me some examination that will expedite going to university?

I'm gonna take four AP tests of Calculus BC, Physics C, Biology, Chemistry in the May. But these stuffs won't contribute to skipping grade. I need an examination that will flabbergast my teacher. I can do GRE subject test but I don't think this will be useful for my purpose.

If there is a community college in your area you could take college level English as a Second Language and English Composition. These college level courses would count toward high-school credit and also better prepare you for the SAT, Something you might also consider. Many local community colleges in California have Matriculation agreements with the University of California, California State University and many of the private schools in State.

In that case you can attend two years of College at a much lower cost than the universities, receive an Associates Degree, then transfer to the University of your choice. Admission to a University can sometimes be easier if you already have completed lower division credits in an Associates degree. In addition it gives you an opportunity to make your mistakes in a much less stressful, lower risk environment.

Attempt to gain California state residency. This is done by applying for a drivers license or ID card at the DMV. This will reduce the cost of attending a California college. For the next two years work harder than the schools ask do more than they ask. Volunteer in the community. The social interaction will help your language skills and it will help you in gaining admission to a good school.

High-School is very poor preparation for college. In college you are your own boss, no-one will make you do the work or seek help when you are falling behind. Everyone is too busy. You have to start now trying to do more than is required, more than is expected. You must do better than others just to keep up.

Good luck with your school career and good for you for asking the right questions ahead of time.
