<p>Ok, so I'm a sophomore this year and these are my courses.</p>
<p>1.Pre-Calculus HON
2.Mastery Band
3.Mastery Jazz
4.Intermediate Orchestra
5.Chemistry HON
6.American Literature HON
7.AP US History
8.French II</p>
<p>My goal for the semester was to make a 100 in every single one of my classes. AP classes get an extra 5 points added on at the end of the semester and HON classes get an extra 3 point added on. Here are my grades currently for Quarter 1 in the same order</p>
<p>1.90
2.100
3.100
4.98
5.99
6.98
7.94
8.100</p>
<p>Here are the problems:</p>
<p>My Pre-calculus grade is a 90 but i'm trying to get it to at least a 95 but with only 2 test grades left how possible do you think that is? And if its not possible, what's the highest grade I can probably get? My grade is averaged with classwork grades (which I have a 100 average) and assessment grades.
My other problem is that I have only been playing Violin for 10 months, and even though I'm doing OK in orchestra, I still want it at a 100 instead of a 98, but I'm realizing that probably won't happen, so I'm planning on switching out into another band class. If I switch into that band class I know I will make a 100.
All my other grades are fine and I'm not worried about them, except for those two classes (Pre-Calulus and Orchestra). I'm trying to maximize my chances at making a 100 semester average and bringing up my GPA from a 98.0000 to a 98.5714 (I know I did a lot of calculations) and I'm also trying to become Salutatorian (jumping from 8th to 2nd). </p>
<p>I really am freaking out and I need some advice please! I would like to hopefully go to HYPS. Can you help me make a plan to reach my goals. I don't want to be persuaded to give up or try something else I just want some advice on what to do?</p>
<p>You’re fine! Take the classes that you want! Pre-calculus is impressive enough because most people don’t do much calculus. All that music is good, too.</p>
<p>If you want to go to HYPS, stay in orchestra. You made the commitment and they like to see it. Stressing over a 98 vs 100 is not good- it won’t make a difference.</p>
<p>I agree with guineagirl96. Whether you get accepted or rejected from HYPS will not be because you got a 98 instead of 100.</p>
<p>People are calling ■■■■■ far too easily. There is nothing wrong with this post. Next person to call ■■■■■ on this without more evidence will get a severe warning. I erased those posts and the ones responding to them. - FC</p>
<p>I don’t think they even put percentages on your transcript I believe…at least not for my district. But I agree with above, a 98 and 100 are very similar, both percentages count as an “A+”. Don’t worry man, you’re doing great and keep up the phenomenal work! Make sure to apply to some safeties too, not just HYPS. :)</p>
<p>Pre-Calculus Honors is very holistic for a sophomore, you’re 2 years ahead from an average sophomore. Just push your limits and ask your teacher what study skills or anything to maintain that A throughout the year, but don’t say that you have a bad grade, the teacher will just look at you. xD</p>
<p>What the, maybe your high school is different but at my school adding a - or + to your A isnt going to change your gpa its going to be a 4.0 if you get all A’s. Your doing very well and dont see why your so worried. </p>
<p>try going to extra help for ur math class bc usually the teacher will give hints tehre for the test or examples like it.
just study the whole packet/chapter redo all the problems. </p>
<p>switch from orchestra into that other band class</p>
<p>ur really smart imo good luck with everything! </p>
