a) If you try to cram 10 Alg II assignments in at once, you probably won't retain the material very well -- it's best to go slowly and absorb the material little by little.

<p>I zoomed through FLVS Alg II in about a month, didn't retain a thing, and am doing very well in PreCal and AP Phys. </p>
<p>You don't need Alg II; it's a bunch of useless information about conic sections and some stupid shortcuts that try to complicate the already easy process of factoring by trying to make it easier. </p>
<p>The only important section in the entire course is the one on Logarithms. I'd send you my work, but I think I recall an early post of yours like declaring all out war on cheaters. (might not have been you though...)</p>
<p>I was a bit lost at first when I went into PreCal ONLY because it was the first time I touched a graphing calculator and used interval notation, but the online course didn't teach that anyways because there were online calculators you could use.</p>

The salutatorian of my class, who ended up in Princeton, cried several times when we were taking these tests.

<p>That's a bit pathetic...</p>
<p>Yes, you are. Does that make you happier?</p>
<p>PS. In fact, the guy who just called you dumb failed two classes in HS. Good luck with your life now!</p>

<p>Will an 88 avg in these classes at a top magnet rule me out for top schools? Would I fail if I got in to a good school?</p>
<p>Well if you're as pretty as you say you are, then you doon't need no fancy @$$ education to get places in this world. Use what you got. WORK IT GIRL!!!</p>
<p>.........and I'm sure you're still pretty smart.</p>

<p>IF I can't handle that schedule would I be able to do well at a top school?</p>

OHHH. I interpreted that differently xD. As in, if you didn't get into a top school and instead got into 'only' a good school you would have failed.</p>
<p>But anyway. The difference between college and high school is you can generally take classes you're interested in, and aside from that I haven't met a lot of students who take 7 courses per semester. It's a whole 'nother world. Relax. You're not going to be the best or the smartest - accept it early on and university would be easier. ;)</p>

<p>I read in a recent edition of a magazine that kids who believe in improving their intelligence are much more successful than those who believe in static (inherent) intelligence</p>
<p>its ok</p>
<p>I'm feeling smarter. I just turned an F into an A.</p>
<p>By adding one line?</p>
<p>i remember last 3 years i used to study like 5 hrs a day and still not understand anything, now its my senior year, i barely do anything and i understand everything lol, and i look at the people who study a lot and pay attention in class and do bad on tests and i feel sorry for them lol.</p>
