There are adult education classes for this. Check at your local community college.

You do not need a GED if you homeschool through high school.  My older daughter joined the U.S. Army without it (There's a congressional thing that says they cannot discriminate against homeschoolers in joining the Armed Forces.)  and my younger daughter is a softmore in college.  Both were homeschooled all the way through high school.  You must have your parents on board.  I had to write and notarize letters, stating what we did in homeschooling, etc.  My word as their parent and educator is all it took.\n\nTo get into college you do have to pass the ACT or SAT, depending on your state and the ASVAB test for the military.  So you must actually work to learn as a homeschooler to succeed.  But you will succeed if you work at it.  It's not a free ride.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue

Actually in some cases you can go to college without having completed high school.  There are exams called "challenge for credit" and some schools will accept some live experience as credit.  In some provinces of Canada you can be admitted to some universities on probation after you have turned 21, even if you don't have all the qualifications.  The probationary period gives you the opportunity to prove yourself.\n\nI would suggest you begin to check around.  Write letters.  Ask questions.  Put together a portfolio of what you have  done that you think qualifies for you for college without a high school diploma.  YOu might be surprised about how things might go.  Anything is possible.\n\nI hope this helps.

Home schooled students do not, in most states, receive a "high school diploma" from any state agency.  That does not, however, negate the validity of the coursework they completed during their home studies.\n\nHome schooled students should NOT be required to take a GED.  Neither should students from unaccredited private schools.  These students should be required, however, to provide documentation (either a personal portfolio or a transcript)  to  the college they wish to enter that they have met the minimum entrance requirements.  Also, these students should also have to take the same entrance and placement exams as  students from public high schools and accredited private high schools.

Sure, try: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/\nYou can revise course material on there and test yourself.  It really helped me for my GCSEs (and its more fun than learning from books!)

Umm...yea you can probably get into a state school or you can start out by going to a community college and make good grade (hs is a drain especially when you are learning things you are not interested in, so make sure you pick something you're interested in); then transfer to a bigger school.  but make sure when you write you essay you use spell check.  Good luck

9-12 GCSEs including English and Maths at A*-C. People say 'oh I went later in life and had no GCSEs' but for an 18 year old the situation is different; most unis will demand at least those two.\n\nTo get onto A levels, Btec, or IB (the 3 mains routes to HE between the ages of 16-18), at least 5 of these must be at A*-C. For students who want to progress from 6th form to uni, ideally at least 8 should be at A*-C.\n\nSome coursed (e.g. GNVQs) take more time and are worth more than one GCSE. Remember, however, that unless you want to do (for example) Environmental Studies, 4 GCSEs worth on that one topic might not be so good, because it would hint at a 'focus' very early in life, and limit her breadth of skills and knowledge. GNVQs are also not  'academic' so will not be so useful for traditional academic degrees- probably better for work-related degrees such as social work, nursing, ICT and so on.

Every university and college has different admission procedures for non-traditional students. \n\nDo research into the admission requirements at the schools that you would like to attend. Do this well ahead of time. If the requirements are not obvious on their website, call the admissions office and ask them what they require for non-traditional/alternative student admissions.\n\nThe teens that are currently working towards college admission, tend to focus heavily on their SAT scores, admission essay, extra curricular activities, volunteer/work experience, community college experience and community involvement. Usually, colleges will want to see either grades from a CC or a non-parent led class, and possibly recommendations from an outside teacher or community leader.\n\nBut overall, homeschooled teens have the same chance of getting into college as traditional students. They have to jump through different hoops, but their candidacy is not hindered by their alternative education status (with a few exceptions of universities that are not homeschooler friendly. Usually these are state schools). \n\nSo, if you are a homeschooler and you are thinking of going to college, I would recommend doing your research early, and realizing that if you don't get in as a freshman, you can take CC classes and enter as a sophomore. Homeschoolers know that there is always a way, if we just keep looking.\n\nGood luck!

In the UK we don't do the SATs that you sit in the USA. In year 9 (age 13/14), 6(age 10/11) and more recently 2 (age 6/7) we have something called SATs (pronouced as a word rather than the individual letters) but they test the general level in Maths, English and Science, usually to see how far the child is in line with the national average. \nThe real education begins in years 10-11 (age 14-16) where you study for your GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education previously known as O Levels). Depending on your institute you generally get to choose which subjects you wish to study and schools tend to make English, Maths and Science compulsary, others may include P.E or a language. The grades are from A* - G (pass) and U (ungraded meaning fail), though the accepted pass grades will be grades A* - C.\nPrior to age 16, education is compulsary but post-16 education is optional and can go into various branches depending on the individual. One route is A(dvanced) Levels (or GCE) where you can do a maximum of 5 they say but if its for applying to university for a undergraduate degree (BA/BSc) they won't ask for more than 3 A level grades, where the grades range from A - E. Now however some university asked for Ucas points rather than grades which can make it easier to some extend as its the minimum points they require for entry which can be made up of a really low grade in one subject but high in another. So previously grades BBB was required but the new points sytem requires 300 which can be achieved by attaining grades ABC. These take 2 years to complete and made up of 6 units or can be taken as Intensive A Level whereby its completed in 1 year. \nA Level tends to be considered more academic as its more exam based. If someone prefers a more vocational route they could do GNVQ(General National Vocational Qualification) / AVCE (Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education) instead as its more coursework based rather than exam. This is a little complicating. \nFirst you have Part One Award GNVQ made up 3 units, and equivalent to an AS Level or 1 GCSE. Then you have the Full Award GNVQ made up 6 units equivalent to an A Level or 2 GCSEs. Both can be taken at a foundation or intermediate level. Finally you have AVCE which is 12 units, usually taken over 2 years, and equivalent to 2 A Levels. I actually did the full-award GNVQ in ICT alongside my GCSEs because my school offered it in replacement of the half GCSE it had the previous years. It was grade on the scale of, Distinction (A), Merit (B), Pass (C) and Fail (U). Some universities accept these as qualifying grades for entry onto the degree. Other universities prefer the academic route but it really depends on your chosen path. \nBoth A Levels and AVCEs are generally undertaken the two years after completing secondary education. Of course if someone wasn't following the traditional route they may of course take it after a gap or after doing something completly different. Of course ifsomeone wasn't going to university they may for example do some work-related study such as a Modern Apprenticeship or simply go straight into work. Others follow whatis best for their chosen career, for example, someone wanting to do childcare may do a CACHE Diploma (Council for Award in Childcare and Education) instead or do a BTEC National Diploma in Business/Science, again both more vocational. \nIf I'm correct, high school in the USA is the equivalent for education up to 18 in the UK, which is secondary education pre-16 and further education (College/6th Form) pre-18.\nAfter which we have university (is it college for you?) degrees such as BSc (Bachelor of Science) and BA (Bachelor of Arts) known as the First Degree/Graduate. This usually takes 3 years full-time, 4 years sandwich (inc. 1 year work) or part-time. These are graded 1st Class, 2:1 (Upper 2nd), 2:2 (Lower 2nd), 3rd, Pass and Fail respectively.\nAfter that you can do a Postgraduate (second degree) followed by the Ph

First, you have to evaluate if online courses are for you or not? If you are someone who perform better by interacting with the others (professors and classmates), you might find it difficult at the beginning because you hardly see them. Second, you have to see how disciplined you are in your daily life. You do need to put in the hours required in order to get a good grade. If you are only half-serious about it, don't really spend your time and money pursuing it. \nThe best way to approach it is to: \n(1) find a good university with a good reputation.\n(2) once you're registered, find out all the resources a school can give you. Get into online discussion groups, contact your tutor etc.\n(3) Allow some time (even if it means sacrificing personal time) to study and complete all assignments. \n(4) Work towards a goal--may it be a degree, diploma or certificate.\nOpen University UK offers really good courses and is very reputable. Take your time to look around for the right school and right course for you. Good luck.

Hi,\nI have been homeschooled throughout my entire school education. I'm now in my final year in uni - I'm studying by distance ed. so I still am in the 'home school' mode!!! \nMultiplication takes some patience to master - and a lot of concentration. But once you learn the formulas, you can use it with everything. One thing that helps me is breaking math problems down. If the question is 8x7, I break it down to 4x7, then 2x7. 2x7 can be figured out by adding 7 and 7 which equals 14. Then, I add 14 to 14 which equals 28; and then 28+28 which is the answer: 56.\nThus\n2x7 = 14\n4x7 = 28\n8x7 = 56\nCheck out http://www.multiplication.com/students.htm - it seems to have step by step explainations and quizzes so that you can check how you are doing. \nHope you keep going and get into college

By "trying to get it together", do you mean you are going back to high school? Honestly, if you think you are not going to make it again in high school, forget it. Go get a job and prove to your mum that you are not wasting your time loitering around.Meanwhile upgrade yourself by attending courses that will help in improving the skills you are good at. If you are determined to be successful by being hardworking, you can make it. Tell your mum, being highly educated is not the only source to being successful. If I'm not mistaken one of the world's richest men was a school dropout, mind you. So boy, work hard and aim and upgrade yourself at a skill and you will make it one day.And also remember, mix with good friends because if you mix with bad company, you will never going to make it to success.May GOD bless you with a bright future, as GOD helps those who have faith in HIM and themselves.

You could take the GED. It will give you the credit you need and is recognized as the equivalent of a high school diploma.
