I am above average intelligence, but not 160 level. My hope when we started homeschooling was to complete the grades faster, but it was still school and didn't hold my interest enough for that. I ended up finishing later than normal, mostly because I got side tracked with my newfound passion for computer programming. I took two years before college to explore that, and went to college reluctantly. When I got there I soon realized I had gaps in my knowledge, but generally was ahead of the 4th year students assisting the professors. I didn't want to spend 4 years and a great deal of money pursuing just a piece of paper, and dropped out.
