is it possible for me to drop out of an AP class during second quarter?

im taking AP biology and im regretting it sooooo much… its the 2nd week of second quarter… and im failing… i got a D last quarter and im really worried… i didnt got a C and im afraid this year ill fail or get a D (if… at lease im lucky…) i really want to drop out but im afraid its too late… bc of the AP class im doing bad in my other classes bc i have a hard time with time management and im taking another AP class which also is alot of work but is not as hard…

I just dont understand bio… it wont get into my brain… i have a tutor but it still doesnt help…

im so stressed out and i dont think ill be happy…

and im not going to major in biology or anything related to biology… i want to major in design and i honestly dont know why i signed up for AP biology because i had a hard time in honors bio

and i heard it looks bad on your transcript if you do… what do they mean by “W” ??

“W” means withdraw. Many times, if you withdraw from a class, it shows as either “WP” (withdrawn passing) or “WF”(withdraw failing). I don’t know what your grade is exactly, so I couldn’t tell you how it is going to look. I have not taken AP Bio, but I have taken honors bio and got an A thanks to Khan Academy and Crash Course Biology. Write down every concept you don’t understand and just spend the evening watching videos from those two resources. I would not recommend withdrawing, because that shows that you have given up. Even if you can squeak out a high C, that would be better than a withdrawn. If all of your classes are suffering from working so hard on this one class, maybe you should rethink. I would recommend talking to your guidance counselor. I am sure you are not the only one in that type of situation and they can work with you to decide where to go from here. Good luck!!
