Because Saxon and Shormann Math courses integrate algebra and geometry, they provide excellent preparation for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT, as well as CLEP and AP exams. However, listing the credits for these courses can be a little tricky. But don't worry, the tables below show exactly how to list these credits on your transcript.

4. Scroll down to the appropriate chart.
5. In column 1 of that table, find the row that lists ALL the courses your student has completed (or will complete).
6. List the titles in the "Title on Transcript" column of that row on the transcript under Courses. Do not list the name of the Math course (ie: Shormann Algebra 1 with Integrated Geometry or Saxon Algebra 1). List only the titles in that column exactly as they are shown and in the same order.
7. To determine if you should list your course as Honors, see the "Honors Grade Scale" section here: TeacherGuide
8. For the Geometry grade, use the same grade listed for the Shormann Math course. For example, if the student earned an 85 in Algebra 1, list B for Algebra 1 and list B as the grade for Geometry.
9. In the "Points" column on your transcript, list the points below:
If you listed it as an Honors course: A = 5; B = 4; C = 3
If you did not list it as Honors: A = 4; B = 3; C = 2; D=1; F=0

CLEP & AP EXAM CREDITS
CLEP and AP exams are another important component for college admissions and scholarships. Not only can these exams help you earn college credit, they also validate the courses and grades on your transcript and demonstrate college readiness. According to The College Board, a passing score on the AP Calculus exam is the number one indicator of college success.
Instructions for CLEP & AP Credits
Our CLEP Professor courses are short 3-8 week prep courses that provide expert instruction for select CLEP and AP exams. These courses are used after completing the corresponding high school course and include video lectures, practice problems with video solutions, practice exams, and Q&A email support with Dr. Shormann. If your student earned a passing score on one of these exams, it can be listed on your transcript as instructed below.
1. List the name and score of all passing CLEP and AP exams at the bottom of the transcript as shown on the sample transcript.
2. Send a request to the College Board to send your official scores to the college(s) you are applying to.
3. Unless you received AP designation for your syllabus from the College Board, you cannot list AP on your transcript. However, listing a class as AP on the transcript is usually not very beneficial to homeschoolers. Learn More: AP Exams
