Grades are slipping....

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>These are my grades:
- Study Hall ............. 100
- Honors Algebra II ... 90
- Honors English II .... 90
- Honors Chemistry ... 89
- French II ............... 100
- AP World History .... 99
- Honors Art III ........ 97</p>

<p>I'm freaking out over my grades in Algebra II, English, and Chemistry. My low grades in Alg II and Chemistry are all my fault. I didn't understand the concepts, and thus performed poorly on the quizzes and tests. However, I feel that my low grade in English is my teacher's fault. Last week, I took a test over a Greek tragedy. For WEEKS she specifically stated that the test would only cover the first portion of the text. So, that's all I studied. Turns out, the test covered the ENTIRE story. I ended up getting an 82. That dropped my grade 8 freaking points. I had a conference with her late last week, but she refused to reason with me. I also feel that she's inept as a teacher. All she does during class is talk about her son and how women are being misrepresented in the media. </p>

<p>This post really has no point. It's just a small rant to keep me sane. This week I have a test in all 3 subjects, and a quiz in English and Chemistry. I really hope I ace all of them..... Any tips on how to raise my grade in the last week of the grading period? Any moral support??? haha</p>

<p>Your grades are fine…</p>

3

<p>I would cry tears of rainbows to have your grades in Algebra and Chemistry…</p>

4

<p>All you need to do is to score a 90 or above on all of your quizzes/tests this week. That’s it. :D</p>

<p>cool story bro</p>

6

<p>study hall…</p>

<p>Stop ****ing crying, you’re grades are top notch. If you’re crying over an 89, it’s just one god damn percent away from an A. -_____-</p>

8

<p>Gawsh I don’t like it when people do this…YOU’RE FINE.</p>

<p>typical CCer being all <em>eeeeeh my grade fell below perfect waaa waaa</em> lol</p>

<p>Advice: stop being so fixated on your damn grades. There’s got to be more important things in your life</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>then study more next time and understand the concepts. What more do you need us to say?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>now that you know she lies, study the whole book instead.</p>

<p>I’m getting a C+ in AP English. Half of the class is failing. I was 4.0 uw up to this point, so it’s been humbling to say the least.</p>

<p>You’re lucky, bro.</p>

12

<p>i had the same problem as you in my freshman year…
all my grades were 96+ (p.e. was 93 lol) and math + eng were 92…
bad teachers in both classes. But you’re fine, just push yourself harder.</p>

13

<p>Get over yourself. I know people including myself with F’s, D’s, and C’s. We don’t want to hear about you and your horrible grades.</p>

<p>(Sorry, I don’t mean to be that mean. I’m in a bad mood about grades since a recently failed test.)</p>

14

<p>Haha 100 in study hall? Oh, how I wish that was factored into GPAs at my school.
But seriously, an 89 in honors chem is awesome. I don’t know how the difficulty compares elsewhere, but people at my school are scared to death of even going near that class.</p>

15

<p>Everyone doesn’t need to be mean. People stress about different things. But really it’ll be okay dude. You have plenty of time to get the grades up</p>

16

<p>Damn ccers are being so jealous… Don’t worry, I stress when my grades are borderline as well. The semester just started so you’ll have tons of time to catch up. My first tests are usually horrible, but I manage to bring my grades up (knock on wood).</p>

17

<p>Good thing my school only counts the third marking period of each semester in our actual transcript. So we can basically screw up first 2, and get 100’s on third. </p>

<p>I have a 80 in chemistry, and a 91 in english… Hoping for a 95 in chemistry by third though.</p>

18

<p>I have an 89 in Trig right now :frowning:
93 is our cutoff for A’s, too…</p>

19

<p>How’d you manage such a high grade in AP StudH? I barely got an A</p>

20

<p>I absolutely hate borderlining grades! I feel you bro :wink:
Omg! All my grades are borderlining, I’m worries cause once you the finals are around the corner, you need to rely on it! It’s crazy… I get too tired trying to keep up w/ my grades! I want at least 93% in each class by the end of the 2nd triad. So I can be in the “safe” zone!</p>
