first semester whap is finally over and i’m failing pretty hard with an F and i’m pretty sure finals isn’t going to help boost it up to a passing grade. i know now i really shouldn’t have taken this class and advise others not to take it unless you really love history or plan on majoring in it. back to my grade, i’m not sure what to do please let me know what you think. i’ll probably talk to my counselor after break but i would still love to hear some suggestions
Have you taken your final yet? If not, you have at least a week of December break to study. If you are really committed to bringing that grade up (even if it is not to passing) you need to put the time in.
My advice:
- Don’t drop the class, colleges don’t want to see a withdrawn on your transcript.
- Make a plan: does your teacher offer extra help? Have you been doing your textbook reading? Do you take the notes in class? These simple things can change your knowledge and grade greatly. I have never taken WHAP but I am currently in APUSH and my teacher assesses on our class notes and textbook reading so I make sure to do both of those religiously.
What type of assignments does your teacher give? What do you think is bring down your grade?
