Never have I ever gone to school in grades K-12.

What is K-12? I'm assuming Kindergarten to 12 as in grade 12? That's the US system right? You say you've never been to school in these grades. Are you saying that you didn't do them because your country doesn't use this system or have you just not done the equivalent of those grades at all?

Yeah, the US grade system up to highschool. I haven't done those grades at all.

Your schooling system doesn't use K-12?

I was home schooled from childhood through highschool. I got a GED before I joined the military, then used the GI bill to go to university and took placement tests for everything, which put me at the same level as everyone else except for trigonometry, which I had to take a remedial class in.
