Wait wait wait, I'm confused. Doesn't Algebra, geometry and calculus all fall under the subject of maths? Are those separate subjects in school in US?
They are math classes, but they are given grades on our transcripts for each subject. We don't just do freshman math, sophmore math, etc. We actually have math classes with prerequisites, etc.
And, depending on the school you go to, you can take AP tests for the courses you have completed. AP stands for advanced placement. It gives you college credit for just about any university you go to.
Another method is the CLEP test. Similar to AP tests but they are usually administered by the college you want to go to...or by a Uni that another Uni trusts.

Cool. Yeah, you did say you moved to Canada, but I figured you meant the UK.

Hmm, I think I understand. What about English? Is that devided between English Language and English Literature. In my school these were one subject but demanded two grades, of which median would you the final English grade.
