    "Over the summer, I did a lot of studying and I took an exam and tested out of high school," Nolan revealed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" this week. "So, I'm hopefully going to go on and do some online community college courses."

    In addition to his early high school diploma, the actor has an I.Q. of 150 and is a card-carrying member of MENSA.

    "I realized something as I was driving in my limo [heading to the Primetime Emmy Awards in September] -- 'Wait a second! I'm 13! This is my third time at the Emmys. What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?!'
