Trimesters...

<p>Anybody here go to schools that run on a trimester schedule? I do and the school is sending out mid-year reports in a few days. Is this disadvantageous? Garh, I had to work hard for grades 3 months more than semesters...!!! :(:(</p>

<p>My school runs on trimesters. Why would you even get midyear grades though? Do these count toward your GPA? This sounds like an unneccessary panic to me. This is how trimester grades usually work.
1st tri:
Midterm grades (don't count)
Final 1st tri grades (count)
2nd tri
Midyear (midterm 2nd tri) (don't count)
Final 2nd tri grades (count)
3rd tri
midterm 3rd tri grades (don't count)
Final 3rd tri grades (count)
This is how a trimester grading period works over the course of 1 year, so these midyear reports shouldn't count toward your GPA and are therefore neither adventageous nor disadventageous.</p>
