<p>i tried to plan my sophmore year out as if it could go perfectly, it didn't work. i was constantly thinking every time i missed homework or gott a bad grade "i have all year to bring it up" but, when I was always thinking about the future, i forgot to concentrate on what i was doing in the now. as the end of the year comes a lotng, you realise there is no more future left to look at, only the past, and it's not up to par. i should have listened to others earlier when i became a member in the beginning of freshman year, and to calm down, but i learned the hard way, hopefully this helpds some rising sophmores and freshman to not be like me.</p>

<p>i still havent taken any regents/finals yet except religion which i did pretty good on, but in my school finals/regents are gonna count for 10% of our final grade. my current final grades are</p>

<p>Math B- 76
French II- 85
English H- 84
Health- 96
Global History h- 92
biology h- 90
religion-85
phys ed 97
accumulative avg.- 92</p>

<p>i expect to do well on bio, global, english, and french regents/final. math b is tough, but i am getting better and hopefully can do well on that too _ i skipped integrated algebra in 9th because my middle school didnt offer andvanced classes.</p>

<p>Put in an extra 3-4 hours of studying in math.</p>

<p>Put in an extra 2-3 hours in French.</p>

<p>Put in an extra hour in everything else, even if you don’t think you need it.</p>

<p>There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to exams.</p>

<p>thanks for the tips
what GPA is a 92 average roughly. in my school 97 is a 4.0</p>

6

<p>Dpeends on the school… can be anywhere from a 4.0 to a 3.3.</p>

<p>And I’m guessing at your school it’s probably closer to the 3.3, since your 4.0 is so high.</p>

<p>damn, thats gunna be hard to bring up, what do you think my changes might be at nyu if i could raise it to 3.7 or more if thats possible</p>

<p>I got a 94 on the english regents but that was only enough to bring the average up one point, onnly to 85, enough for honors, but i wanted ot be in AP. this year has been such a dissapointment i got distracted with self image issues and neglected schoolwork, this is such ******** and its only my damn fault</p>

11

<p>you basically made statements. i dont understand the point of this thread</p>

12

<p>anger venting and advice for others to learn from my mistakes…hopefully</p>

<p>oh ok. well im pretty sure you know this already but doing well on the finals is still gonig to be insignificant. the classes you have c’s and b’s in right now will stay as c’s and b’s even if you get perfect scores on the finals.</p>
