I’m in my first semester of my senior year and my AP Stats final is this Wednesday. I have a C right now but after calculating how much I need to pass with a C- or better, I don’t think I’ll be able to. I was told last year by my math teacher and counselor to take AP stats because I would’ve struggled more in precalculus. I’ve never been a math student. I’ve always passed with a C- or better and that’s usually still with a lot of hard work and effort. I really did try my best in this class used Khan Academy, AP Barron’s prep book, my friends and classmates, and even tried to get help from my teacher. I put a lot of effort into it but I just couldn’t grasp the concepts. However, this is my best year academically. I have A’s in all of my other classes. I’m going in as an English major for college but I’m just really scared I won’t get into a college provided that I get a D in AP stats. Is there still hope for me?
I would do everything in your power to maintain the C/C-. Ask the teacher if he/she would be willing to host a review session after school or get a private tutor to work with you tomorrow for a couple of hours. If you have a C right now, all you need is a C on Wednesday to maintain that.
How badly it hurts your colleges chances depends on the selectivity of the colleges to which you applied, not so much your major at this point.
You need to change how you are studying.
