  1. Sorry if this gets long. I need advice on what to do about SAT or ACT testing. I did not realize that testing only occurred every 3 months. She ran into her public schooled friends who all took the test today. When I talked to one of the moms she said they needed to take it today if they are applying for college in Oct/Nov for the 2017 school year. So now what do I do? Did I just blow her chances? I am going to register her on the ACT website to see if they have openings this coming weekend to take that test, but who knows. I personally would like her to go to the local Junior College but there is a chance she might play sports for a university so I just want to keep her options open. Thanks for your help.
  2. She will need to take a biology class (or a class that falls in that area) at the CC to transfer if she goes the CC route. (She completed biology+lab at the local public school before I pulled her out) I just want to keep the doors open in case she wants to enter college right out of high school. The astronomy class taken at the CC fulfills a transfer requirement in the physical science area. She will take the lab that goes along with astronomy when she can get in one. She is low priority to register so most classes are full by the time she registers. I am just thinking she needs to do chemistry to build her transcript. Next year she will probably do physics at home. Again, I am looking to keep her NCAA eligible. She is currently doing the 2nd edition of Apologia Chemistry but is not fully getting some of the math. This surprises me since she is strong at math. She is finishing College Algebra at the local CC and is doing amazing job.
  3. It seems like Power Basics is a remedial program. How would this look when writing course descriptions? She wants play soccer so I am wanting to keep her NCAA eligible.
  4. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.
  5. I am looking for a chemistry book for my daughter. She does not care for science so won't be majoring in the science field in college. She has already take Astronomy at the community college which meets transfer requirements in the physical science area. She will need to do the lab component since she only has one science with lab completed on her transcript. I have narrowed it down to Conceptual Chemistry by John Suchocki (4th ed) or Exploring Creation with Chemistry (2nd ed). Do you feel one of would be better than the other? (Thinking about course descriptions submitted to colleges). I am not strong in science either so she will be self-teaching for the most part. Thanks so much for the help.
  6. I was planning on putting an asterisk next to the classes taken at the community college. Should I put a double asterisk by the classes taken at the public high school? On the bottom of the transcript I would then state where the class was taken.
  7. Thank you ladies for taking the time to answer my questions :)
  8. Thank you for your response. Is it okay to list classes like Bible? What about Driver's Education? Am I better off not listing those type of classes? So listing classes by subject would not be too far from the norm? It seems like most classes are listed by grade level on transcripts. You are right in that the public school lists her as a 9th grader when in fact she was in 10th. She worked hard to get through all of the classes they required so she could work on 10th grade subjects.
  9. I was hoping for some help creating my daughter's transcripts. She has not had a "typical" looking school journey. She completed 9th grade classes at home. The next year we put her in an independent high school where they did not accept home school credits. This year we brought her home. I just don't know what is best in making her transcript. Do I list classes by subject (she finished classes at odd times)? Do I include her first year at home or just start with the classes listed on her public school transcript. Here is what she has done. (We live in California) 9th Physical Science+lab Art Media P.E. Home Ec. Bible Algebra 1 (She did English and history too but had to repeat these classes when she went to school) 10th (at a public school) English 9 Geometry Biology+lab Health Geography P.E. Creative Writing English 10 (first semester) Community Service (the school gives credit for this) Intermediate Algebra (like Alg. 2)--taken at Community College Child, Family & Community--taken at Community College Dance Appreciation--taken at Community College 11th (we just pulled her a couple of weeks ago) English 10 (she finished semester 2 at the public school before we pulled her) P.E. Currently doing: English 11 Spanish 1 Chemistry+lab World History Adding Economics second semester at home Astronomy--taking at the Community College Social Problems--taking at the Community College College Algebra--taking at the Community College Thank you for taking the time to help. You are such a blessing. I wish I had the confidence to have just home schooled her from the start of high school. I panicked a little but now I just want to finish strong. Any advice would be appreciated :)
  10. Thank you to those who are taking the time to help me with this. Is foreign language really necessary? Trying to get in a English or foreign language class at our local community college is difficult. She is considered a special admit student and will have to register for a class on the first day of class. Most classes are full and have a wait list by then.
  11. So would I follow this? (Taken from the California Department of Education) Unless otherwise specified, each course shall have a duration of one school year:Three courses in English Two courses in mathematics, including one year of Algebra I (EC Section 51224.5) Two courses in science, including biological and physical sciences Three courses in social studies, including United States history and geography; world history, culture, and geography; a one-semester course in American government and civics, and a one-semester course in economics One course in visual or performing arts, foreign language, or commencing with the 2012-13 school year, career technical education. For the purpose of satisfying the minimum course requirement, a course in American Sign Language shall be deemed a course in foreign language Two courses in physical education, unless the pupil has been exempted pursuant to the provisions of EC Section 51241 Other coursework adopted by the local governing board of the LEA
  12. I don't know how to quote but this is where I am getting her English credits from. In her freshman year she actually did 2 semesters of 9th grade English and the first semester of 10th grade English. She just finished semester 2 of 10th grade English at this school a couple of weeks ago. How this independent school works is you pick a subject and work through that subject until it is complete (taking tests as you go along). Once complete credit is awarded. Please keep the advice coming :)
  13. Thank you for your responses! I guess I should mention we live in California. I am bringing her home this week. She will be doing English 11, World History, and PE. What else should I be doing? I am just looking to hit the requirements (not a-g) since she is going to go the community college for sure. She will attend the college where she already has taken the above listed classes. What am I forgetting? Again I can not tell you how much I appreciate the help!
