For those of you that have used TT Pre-Cal, how long do the lessons take? Since there are only 95 lessons plus tests, I could schedule 3-4 lessons a week and finish in the school year or schedule 5 lessons a week and get through it quicker. If the lessons take more than a hour, I will slow down the schedule. Thanks for your input!:)

Recently,I called NCAA and spoke with someone in the "homeschool office" about my curriculum list. He assured me that they were familiar with most homeschool products on the market. (They need the list to verify that it is indeed high school level work.) If the curriculum cannot be found online, you may need a copy of the table of contents. Hope this helps, Marcie in GA

My oldest (who never loved math) is finishing Algebra 1 with Math Relief and everything has been great! It almost seems too good to be true! Her younger sister (who loves math/science) will be starting Algebra 1 next year in 8th grade. Can you explain why I would need something else for her since she is "mathy"? Thanks, Marcie in GA

Light Lit - should I continue....
Marcie in GA replied to Myra's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I know that LL7 and LL8 have workbook exercises to re-enforce the literary lessons....looking at the high school samples, I don't see exercises relating to the literary terms. I am afraid my dd would just skim through it and I would never know if she really understood. Has anyone used the upper levels? Thanks, Marcie -
Did any of you with older children skip General Science or Physical Science to start Biology? Any regrets? I have an upcoming 7th grader who will start Alg 1 by 2nd semester and has desires to do advanced level sciences in high school. Trying to map out a plan. (until now she has been reading Apologia elementary sciences by J. Fulbright) *older sister (completed General in 7th and Physical this year for 8th) will be starting 9th in the fall with Biology....should I put them together? Maybe have upcoming 7th grader read General and Physical through the summer without doing written work or labs? I hate the idea of skipping books, they really helped her older sister prepare for high school, although she is not a "science" person. How else will my 7th grader get to the advanced level courses? She has possible career goals in engineering or medicine. Thanks in advance for your help... Marcie

My soon to be 7th grader is determined to finish BCM by Christmas so that she can start Alg 1. I am positive that she will get it done, she is motivated! I need help planning her science. Until now, she has read the Apologia younger science series by J. Fulbright and is reading WinterPromise Sea and Sky. She loves the Discovery channel and any show involving health/medicine. With Apologia, it states you should begin Biology when you start ALg. 1.....she hasn't had General or Physical science... What should I do now? My dd has told me that she wants to go far in science with career interest in engineering or medicine. Any advice on what to do? Start having her read through General and Physical now? Start Biology with 9th grade sister in the fall? Older sister completed these and I have the books on hand. (Oldest is not wanting to move so fast in science, so the sequence was easier to figure out) Thanks for all your help! Marcie

I went to BJU website to look at a sample and I compared it to the Apologia book I have in my hand. Now granted, I do not remember learning ATP and ADP in high school but the BJU pages seem to make more sense to me. I believe the explanations are better. Can someone who has looked at both courses tell me more? We have used Apologia for both General Science and Physical Science. I thought I had our high school science planned out with Apologia but now that I started my "curriculum hunt", I wonder if the grass is greener with BJU dvd's. Would love some pros/cons or experience with both. Thank You, Marcie

Do you have your child answer all of the review questions in a notebook or do you do them orally? Thanks, Marcie -
Homeschooling high schoolers in Georgia
Marcie in GA replied to Night Elf's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I know of a few schools that are accredited for homeschoolers and you are still qualified for the hope scholarship. Veritas Schools goes through high school and is a 1 day a week school. http://www.veritasschools.com/ Faith Academy is only for ages 16 and above, I believe you go in and pick up your work, then return it 2 weeks later. http://www.faithaca.org/Georgia/index.html Hope this helps, Marcie
