I'm sorry, but how the hell do you recieve three BS degrees at the age of sixteen (unless you mean BS degrees, which I'd imagine they'd really have to be...)

If you can learn the material you can pass classes by examination.

Maybe, but the material needed for multiple bachelors' degrees is vast.

I suppose if you took (essentially) the same courses at four different universities simultaneously, you could get four for the "price" of one. And I mean only the intellectual price, not the actual price, which would be huge and pointless.

It depends. If there's a large relationship between the degrees, then a lot of the classes you're taking are going to be similar (or the same class), and you only have to do the liberal arts and entry level stuff once.
