<p>Oh! So kids can still take the exams! Thanks, that clears it up a lot.</p>
<p>Trombone, if you go through with that schedule, you’re going to crash at some point. I’m not sure you understand what you’re talking about would be. I have a friend that does chamber orchestra AND symphony because he’s he concert master, so he starts he every night at eight like your saying… He’s killing himself he really is… He’s not happy at all he has no free time and has become a lot grouchier since last because he sleeps like five hours per night… I just want you to know how seriously six courses will physically feel like it’s killing you… Don’t underesimate it</p>
<p>ok becuz i definitely wouldn’t want to be miserable like that… But if you’re only taking 5 courses wouldn’t you have to take a science, an english, a math, a history (if you’re a lower at least), and a foreign language? In that case that leaves no room for electives or anything if you’re in chamber orchestra.</p>
<p>History is an elective; you don’t have to take it lower year if you don’t want to (but you should, at least for one term). Taking six classes is a very bad idea. You have no idea what the demands on your time are. Once you’re an upper or senior and can opt (i.e., not do a sport for one term a year), then you may want to audit a sixth class.</p>
<p>oh, ok. So then what are the requirements on taking history? How many terms of history are required throughout all your years of high school?</p>
<p>Three terms of U.S. history and three terms of non-U.S. if you start in the 9th grade (three of U.S. and two of non-U.S. if you start in the tenth grade).</p>
<p>How does placement for history work? Do all preps automatically go into the same class?</p>
<p>I somewhat disagree with istoleyournose. (I’m sorry bud)
I have a friend who does more than the person istoleyournose described and yet, she gets sufficient enough of sleep every night and finds so many ways to have fun and occasionally, procrastinate.</p>
<p>It really does depend on how well you manage your time.</p>
<p>PEAteacher or anyone that goes to Exeter, is a term a quarter of the year or half? I know thats probably a stupid question but my school calls them different things.</p>
<p>Besides trombone, you can’t take 6 classes. You have health and with music lessons you won’t have enough frees to take another class. Plus you’re not allowed to because of the credit limit, unless you audited the 6th class. But even then, if you have enough time to take another class, you’re not taking hard enough classes. </p>
<p>Istoleyournose: haha I know who you’re talking about… 
hope he’s okay…</p>
<p>a term is a third</p>
<p>There’s no “placement” for history. You pick the class you’re interested in. 100-level classes are open to preps; 200-level classes to lowers and uppers; etc. You can see a list of courses and prerequisites here: [Phillips</a> Exeter Academy | Courses](<a href=“http://www.exeter.edu/academics/84_986.aspx]Phillips”>http://www.exeter.edu/academics/84_986.aspx)</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>oh haha wow the only one i didnt guess… If it’s broken into thirds do you have a midterm/final exam after every term?</p>
<p>Cool, I can call them terms without everyone looking at me weird</p>
<p>I posted this on another thread but nobody responded so I will post it here. What did the acceptance letters look like? Please describe everything in vivid detail.</p>
<p>what else would you call them? sorry to hijack <)</p>
<p>semester, marking period…</p>
<p>trimester, but term is more… common, i guess around me</p>
<p>well im off to eat and do essays! adios amigos!</p>
<p>yea mine are called trimesters, if u take a year of non-US history in 9th grade at your old school then why are you still required to take 3 terms of US and 2 terms of non-US history? You should them only have to take 3 terms of US history</p>
