Working out the numbers on a homeschool transcript
Four decisions sit behind every figure on a transcript: how grades become points, which scale converts percentages, how much credit a course earns, and how college courses count. Each guide works one through with real numbers.
-
How to calculate weighted and unweighted GPA
Twenty courses over three years worked to 3.56 unweighted and 3.77 weighted, the four weighting choices side by side, and how the University of California would recount the same student.
-
Converting percentages to letter grades and GPA points
The 10-point and 7-point scales band by band, and five percentages that make a 2.94, a 3.00 or a 2.60 depending on the scale.
-
How many hours make a high school credit
The 120-hour Carnegie unit, HSLDA's 150 and 180 hour benchmarks, and five real hour logs turned into credits.
-
Turning college semester hours into high school credit
The usual 3 hours to 1.0 credit conversion, Ohio's, Georgia's and Florida's public-school rules, and three college courses worked into a GPA.
