<p>A person on CC who is an underachiever? I know, shocking. I am not very competitive. I'm in junior year and taking AP Psych, Lang, and Chem. But, like an idiot, I barely did any of my summer assignments and am starting off badly. For Lang, I turned my project in late, didn't do a homework assignment, and believe I did horribly on a test. For Chem, I didn't do my summer assignments and didn't study for a test, (planning to drop) and answered maybe two questions on it. I really enjoy the class, but that is a lot of zeros.
I'm worried about what my GPA will be (it was a 99% last year,) because I have no way of knowing how badly I'm failing them/how hard it will be to raise them. Should I simply drop AP Chem and Lang?</p>
<p>most people will just tell you to “work harder, study” etc, others will make you feel even worse by telling you how easy those classes were for them. In my opinion, if you;re not motivated enough to do the assignments, then you’re better off getting out early before it starts to hurt you in the GPA/class rank section</p>
<p>Drop chem, keep psych and lang.</p>
<p>I’m motivated enough to do them now; the amount of homework isn’t bad in itself, it’s just that I procrastinated so much over the summer and I spent a few days skipping meals and barely sleeping trying to get all the piled up work done, still not succeeding. It was more of a one-time occurrence. The problem is that I don’t know if I can make up for the zeros, even if I do all assignments and earn high test scores.</p>
<p>Have you spoken with your teachers and asked them for advice on getting caught up?</p>
<p>I spoke to my chem teacher and asked her how it would affect my grade…she basically said she didn’t have any idea yet.</p>
