I'm attempting to use it alongside Udacity to grasp Maths, Science, Statistics and Computer Science (well, programming). I've not got down to doing everything systematically yet, but it's all much more effective and efficient than school (I'm 15). Currently, I'm learning Calculus, and it's much better than the English education system, even though I have a one-to-one session for one hour per week with my teacher. On Khan, I have an Earth Badge, and 66,858 points.

As a soon-to-be maths teacher, hearing about high school students going above and beyond the terribly-designed curricula that teachers are forced to inflict on their students warms my heart enormously. May your passion for learning continue to grow, and guide you to ever greater intellectual heights. Have an upvote. :)

Well, since I am almost complete the whole thing, I have 1.3 million energy points, and 4 suns and 2 earth badges in additions to all the moons and the meteorites.

Congratulations on completing the entire thing!

... Well done, Hackerikiba, it's great that you've gotten so much out of it. I wasn't boasting, I was just giving a piece of information as to where I'm at (If you're wondering why you've been downvoted, it's because you sounded as though you were).
