I have two questions. Has anyone used this? If I bought it now would it work for all school year next year. I'm getting everything ready for Vicki's 9th grade year. I want all the records and transcripts I can get. I'm very nervous about high school. You wouldn't think I haven't done this the whole time. lol.
Yes, if you buy it now then it is yours and can be used for any year. I think it is a good investment for high school. I would get it early and watch the videos and play with it over the summer. There is a learning curve to it, but it has a lot of time saving features. It does make professional looking reports and transcripts and does all the calculations for you.
I actually have been working on next year's schedule yesterday and today - inputting everything in. I purchased it before there was ever an online version (back in 2008) and it still gets free updates. I love it actually (once I figured out how to load in a Sonlight Core). I'm plugging in Jake's 9th grade classes from this past year as well so I can have a complete transcript for him. He came home in the middle of the year so it's been hectic with it!
I have HST+ and used it for sd in high school. I loved it. Right now with dd using Sonlight I have not been bothering but as she gets older and I need to keep records and give her assignment sheets I will go back to using it.
I went ahead and purchased it last year. I liked how official it made everything look in print outs. At the time, my homeschooler was contemplating returning to public school, so I was making sure everything looked extra legit! He is now continuing through to graduation via homeschool, but will go into the military most likely. I'll continue using it since I have it and it couldn't hurt to look extra polished for the military. It does have a learning curve, but once you take a bit to set everything up, it's a really nice tracker for everything you can think of. And plugging in assignments and/or grades is pretty easy (again, after the set up).
