Homeschool College - Do Community Colleges Accept CLEP Credits?

College Admission Homeschool U.

I received this message about CLEP credits from a homeschooling parent:"In Florida, the state universities have a reciprocal policy with the community colleges if you complete your AA. So, we'll probably go that route and do his AA via CLEP and dual enrollment."Earning an AA through CLEP credits and dual enrollment wasn't the route we took, but it may work for you. It turned out that our community college would not accept more than 2 CLEP...

Our Community College Stories

Sage Advice Homeschool U. Junior College

I go to a lot of college fairs in my business. At one community college, I was taken aside and warned to tell homeschoolers not to send their young children to community college! I was told felons, including predators, were known to be on campus, and the staff worry about innocent homeschoolers.Although my children started attending community college early, they were well prepared for college. While there were some positive aspects to community college, they also had...

OpenCourseWare for Homeschoolers

College Prep Homeschool U. Homeschoolers Curriculum

In the realm of online learning, “OpenCourseWare” is the new kid on the block, one worth checking into if you have a homeschool student who does well with virtual classes. OpenCourseWare (OCW) includes coursework and materials shared freely with anyone via the Internet. Universities such as MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, and Harvard, to name a few, all offer OCW, although there is no credit conferred for completion of any courses.I think it’s wonderful that these courses...

The Difference Between the SAT and the SAT Subject Test

Homeschool U. High School High School Tests

Julie wrote on Facebook: "what is the difference between a SAT and a SAT Subject test?" The SAT measures reading, writing, and general math, and it's the college admission test. If your state requires an annual assessment, this will probably take care of that.The SAT Subject Tests measures just one subject, like economics or American history, or biology. Some colleges require these tests, so look at your college requirements.For more information: http://www.thehomescholar.com/high-school-testing.php That class will teach you...

CLEP Exams: Grades or College Credit?

College Admission College Prep Homeschool U. High School Tests

My daughter is studying for her first CLEP and I want this figured out before we put the time and money in to it.Thanks...

Accommodation for the SAT can happen, it requires a recent label from a doctor, and that there are specific rules that must be followed. If the essay is a stumbling block, you can also opt for the ACT test without the optional essay. https://www.homehighschoolhelp.com/blogs/ok-let-s-review. Either the SAT or...
