    Forward 2-4 for Math, Science and English...although it made not one bit of difference in my adult life.

    When I moved back to the US from France, they put me back a year, even though I had learned everything that the next two years were teaching.
    So I skipped 7th and 8th grades to catch up with my age group, but that didn't work out very well, because that was all stuff I hadn't learned in France.
    Stupid school system.

    I was never held back but in my 12th grade year, they were going to put me back into the 9th since I'm not good at math.

    I was behind in math, reading, and writing as a child. I was ahead in music classes though. Funny because I was not good at reading music. Still bad at it today.
