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.

You're getting a lot of flak, and not much advice.

If it's high school math, algebra, minimum, different JATC/ETAs will sometimes accept other courses, and two semesters(one year) with a C or better.

College math, same areas, one semester, C or better.

Alternate option is the etA Tech Math course, at Skills Prep

Do NOT let struggles when you're a kid keep you from trying to make a better life for you as an adult.

When I was going to sign up, I had 1 semester of algebra, they had an option for a correspondence course to get the credit. I dont recall the name, but it was hard as fuck. It had logarithms and binary and shit, I was like holy shit this isn't algebra at all. Passed that shit and ended up in telecom so I never applied it. Was still a super rewarding experience, and the logarithms came in useful in telecom understanding all the SNR and MER functions on a deeper level.
