<p>Academically, junior year Sucked. Even so, it was better than a great academic soph year because of the experiences that came with the age. Senior year will be (and darn well should be) a breeze if you play your course load right. And if you are taking APs and you know you're going to a school who's going to count them then put in the little extra time and do well! There's more to it than just passing. The difference between a 3 and 4 could mean the difference in a semester worth of English credit or an entire year (aka never have to take English again!)</p>
<p>well, keep in mind that it's only october and you still have a long way to go til the year ends. If you find yourself overwhelmed with ECs try focusing on school work more and catch up on your ECs during winter/spring break, or senior year. Also, you might have to break some habits from last year and realize that junior year is different from the rest. If I were you, I would approach a senior that ended up with good grades last year and ask him/her what he/she did to succeed.</p>
<p>Academically, it sucks right now. 3 Bs and 3 A's . Socially, it also sucks. I only get to see my friends once a week since they take full IB and I don't.</p>
<p>yeah..my 61 in a ap chemistry test has awaken me to reality..but i didn't study too long b/c i was soo busy, which teaches me a lesson...
i have been doing pretty well until now..that 61, and a statistics test that i'm pretty sure i failed...
junior year does suck..</p>
<p>HAHA Yeah I am. That class is freaking ridiculous. We're using the same book that UNC-Chapel Hill uses, and our teacher doesn't explain anything, so it's an entirely self taught course.</p>
<p>And all it is is a bunch of glorified math problems with chemical words in them. Can it get any more boring than that?</p>
<p>Standing at a 78% as of now. Big test on Orgo Equations on Wednesday, and that's when I'm gonna get my a$$ handed to me.</p>
<p>ahhhh...the nine weeks ends this friday and every one of my classes decided to give a test this week. I don't even know how my grade's going to end up. Our wonderful teacher decided to tell us our ridiculously hard spa. 9 weeks test is tomorrow and my only hope to bring up my chem grade up 4 points is a test we have wednesday, rumored to be the hardest test we'll have this year. YAY and I won't even have time to study tomorrow...much less watch the debate once I get home from working.
damn....and PSATs are next week
don't i just love life...I'm going to go and attempt to study more now</p>
<p>^ honestly, if money is ANY consideration, and you're in the range (2-5 points around last year's cutoff in either direction) you should definitely prepare for the PSATs. Just from being a semi-finalist, I've gotten at least 3 full-ride offers, and many scholarships note that you need to be one to receive it...</p>
<p>precal hrs - B <--DAMMIT
ushist - A+ <--CP class it's easy
AP BIO - B+ <-- DAMN! even though i'm ranked 2nd in the class
AP CHEM - ? <--1.5 months into the school year. first test is this friday. lol
Anatomy&physio - A+ <--CP class it's easy
AP Eng A- <--I was thinkin that english was my weakness, but its apparently the strongest grade i have that's not CP.</p>
<p>and yeah, jr. year sucks. I don't feel i'm learning anything at all.</p>
<p>im aiming for 4 As and 2 Bs this year... but what's funny is that i always do worst in my easiest classes. Last year I got As in my honors and like B+s in my REALLY easy classes. I don't know what it is, but now my lowest grade is in what is probably my easiest class (Astronomy). It's really killing me lol</p>
<p>Junior Year's actually been pretty good for me, I've been having a lot of fun, and my grades have been pretty good. Better than that of the slump I call Sophomore year.</p>
<p>AP Bio- A
AP Physics- No idea, the teacher's grading is arbitrary, no way to predict.
AP Lang. & Comp- A
US Regents- A (***, I should have an A+, it's a regular class.)
Spanish 4AP/Honors/Pre-AP/whatever- A
Precalc H.- B-B+ (I had a 102 on one test and then a 63 on the other. My teacher told me that it isn't a big deal at all, but I want my bloody A back.)
Orchestra- A+
Free Period every other day- A+ (I work my ass off for that one.)</p>
<p>lol...I have 89s or 90s in basically all my classes :) oh well...we get extra grade points for APs so I'm not complaining, next week is beastly :(</p>
<p>SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! I have done so well my whole high school career and now i am in 6 AP classes and just feel overwhelmed. i know you are going to yell at me that I overloaded myself but would colleges rather see the Bs in the AP classes or the straight As with one or two APs???</p>
<p>AP Chem isn't so bad. AP Calc AB is kinda kicking my butt though!</p>
<p>I can't even THINK about spring when all the AP exams come up/SAT Subject tests/SATs..
I'm barely making it through this semester! Mostly getting to sleep around midnight/1am which isnt that late but doing that for most of the week is pretty exhausting!</p>
<p>I'm hoping this'lll be the hardest year because next year my courseload will lighten up because Calc BC is wayyy easier than AB (took me a while to process the derivative/integral stuff hah) and I'll have AP Chem out of the way and all my Subject Tests. Only SAT/College apps to worry about next year...</p>
<p>i am hoping colleges like b's in ap's better..b/c that's what i'm getting..i just took my finals..and got 80s on both ap chem/ap stats..which have literally just killed my grades...i am just waiting for this week to be over..</p>
