I was in school from January and graduated in April. I was full time. Am I considered to have been a full time student for five months?

According to IRS publication 17, you are a full-time student if you are enrolled at a school for the number of hours or classes that the school considers full time. You must be full-time for some part of each of 5 calendar months during the year. (The months need not be consecutive) Unless you were enrolled after April you will not qualify.
