Answer:
So I turned homeschool not too long ago and you do need to the the SAT/ACT depending on which community college it is? If the high school or college offer ACT then the test you most likely need to take is the ACT. But if the test they offer is SAT then you should take that. Taking both of the SAT and ACT would only do better on your resume/aplication so it's really up to you. I plan to take both if I have the time. But I heard most people take the ACT. You should check what your community usually offer.
Hope this helps.
Explanation:
Answer: college admissions is handled very similarly for homeschoolers as it is for traditionally schooled students. In fact, many admissions offices actively seek out homeschoolers. Admissions officers evaluate each student within the context of his/her own background and the opportunities they've had. There are, however, a few differences regarding how homeschoolers submit certain application materials. As a homeschooled student, your parent or primary teacher is responsible for creating your high school transcript and for sending it to your colleges. Parents have a few different options for going about this:
1. Working under an umbrella school that produces official transcripts and diplomas
2. Creating their own transcript and diploma
3. Enlisting a service that specializes in transcript and diploma creation
4. Joining a homeschool group that produces professional transcripts and diplomas
Explanation:
Your transcript should include all of the following information:
Your name, the name of your homeschool (if applicable), address, and phone number
Your high school course list ordered by year (grades 9-12)
The institution where each class was taken (i.e. homeschool, online institution, community college)
The grade scale being used in your homeschool
Your overall GPA
Credits given per course (listed per semester and per year)
Expected graduation date
Parent signature with a date
Homeschoolers do not need a GED or a diploma to apply to college or qualify for financial aid; you just have to declare that your homeschool education meets state law requirements. Most homeschooled students choose not to take the GED if they have valid transcripts, as colleges will place the most emphasis on your transcript and standardized test scores. If you’re homeschooled through an online academy, virtual school, or organized homeschool program then they will award your diploma according to their own standards. If you’re homeschooled independently by your parents, then your parents have the option of issuing you a diploma if your transcripts indicate you’ve met the basic state requirements for graduation. When filling out the FAFSA, be sure to check “homeschooled” when it asks for your high school completion status. Even if your homeschool is administered through an umbrella organization, you should still check “homeschooled” instead of “high school diploma” to avoid any delays in the processing of your application.
