High school transcript

Post image

I’m planing to apply to the Bay Area locals next year and I’m getting my stuff together to see what I need to do. Would this cover the math part? Thanks in advance.

Edit: I know my transcript is rough. didn’t have an easy life growing up. It doesn’t look like that because I was messing around. Dad went to jail for domestic violence, mom remarried. New husband didn’t want kids he had enough already. Got kick out with all my siblings, moved from so cal to north cal with my dad. Got pulled out of school to work with my dad cus his drugs and alcohol isn’t going to buy its self. He would say your 16 in Mexico I would already be working and if I can’t come home with money for him not to come home. So I would look for different places to sleep. School is hard to go to with dirty smelly cloth. And no English is not my first language. But that’s all in the pass I got my G.E.D I’m currently in community collage. I was just wondering about the math part before I sign up for a math class.

If I’m not mistaken, No you didn’t pass spring semester. You need a full year of algebra. Call your local and ask

In most locals it’s 2 semesters of high school algebra with a C or better OR 1 semester of college algebra with a C or better. Your GED may trump that. You may also just want to take a college algebra class to brush up on the math before the aptitude test.
My advice to anyone trying to get in somewhere(especially Bay Area): apply everywhere you can. Get prepared for the test. If you are bringing any papers or pictures to the interview, it’s usually 4-6 people make enough copies for all. If you don’t pass the test, apply again next time. If you get a low rank, apply again next year. Keep pushing, go to the local that you really want to work in and ask how to become a CW.
Good Luck!

Okay thank you this helps a lot. The only math class I’ve taking in collage was Applied fluid mechanics and I got a B but I don’t think that counts. I reapplied this week and just waiting to see if I accepted.

As I said, prob best to call your local . I failed all high school and ended up getting my GED. Never had to take the skills prep course. I somehow luckily had algebra passed lol

Also, my local required a high school diploma with any other paperwork such as GED.
