Homeschooling and college

Applying to College
1

<p>hello: i did not know if this is the correct forum to post, but i'm searching info about homeschooling for my siblings. </p>

<p>if you are homeschooled, how do you apply for college without an "official" transcript? </p>

<p>when taking SAT/ACT test and are homeschooled, how do you go about to take the test? </p>

<p>in public school, you test and if you know the info you pass to the next grade. in homeschool setting, how does that work? (who/where do you test to make sure the child knows the proper info)</p>

<p>any links and/or info is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Transcript - the legal, homeschooling parent creates their own official transcript. There many sources to help with this step.</p>

<p>Testing - the student registers to take the ACT and/or SAT online at [A</a> Student Site for ACT Test Takers | ACT Student](<a href=“The ACT Test for Students | ACT”>http://www.actstudent.org/) or [College</a> Admissions - SAT - University & College Search Tool](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.org/]College”>http://www.collegeboard.org/) as all students do. THe PSAT is the only one with a different process. The parent must find a local school that will allow the student to test with theirs. The student must use his state’s home school code: [PSAT/NMSQT</a> Codes for Home-Schooled Students](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools)</p>

<p>Homeschooling in general - your question is probably too broad for a forum like CC. There are many, many books, websites and organizations to help with how to actually homeschool successfully. Try a library search for books. HSLDA [HSLDA:</a> Homeschooling Advocates since 1983](<a href=“http://www.hslda.org/]HSLDA:”>http://www.hslda.org/) is a good place to begin online for information about legal aspects and links to local organizations.</p>
