Review: Fast Transcripts high school transcript service

Disclosure: I received a one-year trial of Fast Transcripts and monetary compensation in order to write an honest review of it. I get commissions for purchases made through affiliate links in this post.

Today I’m happy to review Fast Transcripts high school transcript service.

As you may know, a high school transcript is important to have as soon as your student graduates from high school. It will be important if they go immediately to college (or if they change their mind and go years later!) So, you need to take the time to get it done now while they are in high school. I’ve been trying out Fast Transcripts which is sold at the HSLDA store, and it’s extremely fast and easy to use. It’s inexpensive ($16 a year or $12 if you are an HSLDA member) and has some handy features (such as calculating GPA and telling you how many credits you need of each type of class depending on the goals your student has: general high school, general college prep, or rigorous college prep.)

The first thing you do is fill in the basic information such as student’s name, school name, address, and email. Then you will add in the academic information for each high school year (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior). It asks you the year, course title (such as Algebra I), grade, and credit (.5 or 1.o). After adding in the grades, it will calculate the number of credits and the GPA.

It allows you to change the grading scale (for example 93-100 for an A instead of 90-100 for an A).

There is a Miscellaneous box to include “notes pertaining to the above listed courses (community college courses, previous schools attended, etc.)”

And finally, a place for the signature, and you can print your professional transcript!
