homeschooled high school students

[cookderosa]

There is a thread in the general forum about age of entrance to the "big 3" but I wanted to post this here since we have a poll about homeschool.
I know some of you are homeschooled high schoolers. I am a homeschool mom to 4 kids.
If you are taking CLEPs, DANTES, or APs (and passing) be sure your parent lists your high school courses as "College Prep" or in the case of AP tests as "Advanced Placement." Every CLEP/DANTES/AP exam should identify a course you completed. Don't miss any!! You will need to have a transcript, and this is a HUGE HUGE HUGE feather in your cap! Don't leave it out.
Here is an EXAMPLE using Psychology as an elective. (your transcript may vary based on your state law or your parent's opinion....one in the same:p )

Transcript:
Basic Psychology .5 credit *multiply by 1 for GPA

(if you passed the CLEP Psychology exam)
College Prep Psychology .5 credit *multiply by 1 for GPA

(if you passed the CLEP psych and edu psych)
Introduction to Psychology 1 credit *multiply by 1 for GPA

(if you passed AP psych with a 3 or higher)
AP Psychology .5 credit *and multiply by 1.5 for GPA

(if you passed AP psych with a 3 or higher and both psych CLEPs)
AP Psychology 1 credit *and multiply by 1.5 for GPA

Dixiegirl,

I know you are taking CLEPs, are you taking any APs also? Just wondering how they compare subject-wise/difficulty,etc.

[cookderosa]

Oh very good! I would love to encourage you to keep working toward that goal. (and preparing for your SATs of course!!)

[cookderosa]

Hm. Thanks for that, but I graduated high school before I started CLEP. So would these rules not apply then?

Kali,
If you already graduated from high school, you should already have a transcript. I'm guessing your parents already did this for you?
