High School Class of 2015 - Page 198

No, depends on the class and teacher. I doubt AP Calc has presentations, but who knows? Maybe AlexHarper can enlighten us.

I`m in AP World, and we haven`t done any yet (though we`re supposed to do one every unit). We just have a lot of assignments that are due at the end of the unit.

Guys, help.

I'm losing hope. I'm seriously slipping.. I have a B in AP World and it seriously is the hardest subject I have, and I'm doing so freaking terribly on the essays. I have solid theses and good evidence but my commentary SUCKS. My essay grades are bringing my whole grade down.

As for Honors Bio, I just got a 70% on my test. It brought me down to a B. I seriously thought it would be a breeze since science last year was laughably easy, but oh my GOD.
And I have a B in Algebra 2. I freaking hate Algebra. AMRGKELMALK.

I don't even know what's going on.

I'm slipping and I have no idea why.. I keep trying my hardest.. It's like nothing sticks anymore..

I'm going to break down from stress. Plus I missed 2 days of school (yesterday and today) because I was sick so I have even more homework to make up.

Does anyone have any tips whatsoever to help me bring my grade up and bring it up fast? I study hard enough as it is.. :/

I REAAAALLLY need help in
-Algebra 2 (although right now it's just review)
-Honors Biology
-AP World
-Chinese 1

I`ve got a B in AP World too and AM NOT HAPPY BECAUSE IT WILL BE MY FIRST B IN A HISTORY CLASS EVER!!!!

Enough about me, excuse the rank. So glad I can take APUSH next year. Fed up with world history. AP World....I don`t know how your teacher does the tests, but my tests have NOTHING to do with the notes...luckily we have extra assignments that help it. I heard one girl who took it last year say she got straight F`s on all the tests and still pulled an A for the class.

Tutoring is the only thing I can suggest. Pinpoint your weaknesses in each of the subjects and target those. With Bio, studying is basically all there is to it. Took it last year, and it`s just a lot of memorization, at least for my class, but I don`t know about yours.

Know nothing about Chinese. Me gusta espanol.

I`m mad about the fact I have a B in AP World and math, which is ridiculous, but the only thing I can do to comfort myself is the fact that the semester grade is the only one that TRULY matters, but I`m freaking out about AP. PM me if you ever want to vent about it...it`s frustratingly frustrating.

Hey fellow C/O 2015'ers.
How's the school year been for you guys? For me it's been incredibly fast and I am slowly but surely getting my grades to where I want them to be.

goodnoodle · 10-09-2012, 08:01 PM

^aside from hating Spanish things have been good. Grade are going good except in chemistry where I have a B+. Me and my lab partner just gotta stop screwing around and all will be good.

CE527M · 10-09-2012, 08:21 PM

As you could see from my mini rant, I`ve got two B`s, and my other two classes, A`s....I only have a 94 in science, which is ridiculous, since it`s the easiest thing ever, but oh well. The end of our first grading period is like a week from now.

I`m enjoying my English and AP World class a lot, but hate science and math...but oh well. I`m taking the PSAT next Wednesday, and have been doing some prep for that, but not worrying too much about it. Critical Reading, I`ll be fine, don`t know about the math. Aiming to get at least a 180, would shoot for higher but I`ve only started studying for the past few days. My high school requires all sophomores to take it, because we have a grant that pays the $14. So I get out of two of my classes that day, one of which being math

Even though I have a B in math, I`m content (somewhat) because I can still get an A for the semester, and I understand everything, which is good, considering the teacher`s not great.

It certainly has gone by fast.

I've literally been sleeping through my western civ class for the past 2 weeks.

Now we have a test tomorrow - the last one before the end of the quarter.

And I've barely started studying.

So did anyone's school celebrate unity day (the anti bullying day)? Our school went all out with everyone in orange, and the school taking a picture together.

AlexHarper · 10-10-2012, 09:20 PM

Yes! My volleyball team wore orange ribbons and socks!

CE527M · 10-10-2012, 09:32 PM

I didn`t even know it was anti-bullying day...that`s bad of me....the school never mentioned it.

However, this Friday, we`re supposed to wear pink and buy a pink ribbon their selling for Breast Cancer awareness month.

I`m ready for Friday. This jerk sitting next to me in math won`t leave me alone and is just being....a jerk. He`s an idiot really. In AP, this one kid who has math with me said to the class about he keeps being annoying and mean, and I explained to the teacher about how he`s just dumb...and it was so funny, because the whole class got loud all at once because everyone was just like "YES!". One kid put it well and said, "He`s beyond dumb." All I want to do is focus on math, which I`m trying to do well in.....and in all honesty, if I wouldn`t get in trouble for it, I`d just punch him. Oh well. Annoying people make the world go round, I guess.

Since last week (and continuing on with this week), during lunch, anyone seen wearing orange gets entered into a raffle for gift cards. They also played antibullying commercials around the school, one of them involving the school show choir.

@Film Maker 1
I am and i love it. I cant wait for the Psat. I used a 3 yearold petersons psat guide last month and scored a 198. I am going to get an up to date psat test by either barrons or Princeton Review and see what i score. Luckily i live in MS, so next year i should have NMF in a bag.

shmluza · 10-11-2012, 08:26 PM

My psat is next wednesday!

CE527M · 10-11-2012, 08:33 PM

So`s mine! My school has a grant that allows all sophomores to take it, free of charge....you can guess how happy that made the kids who normally wouldn`t have taken it and who think they`ll magically get accepted to college after bad grades.

elf4EVA · 10-11-2012, 08:48 PM

At my school, only juniors take PSAT (sophomores take PLAN, so that's what I'll be taking on Wednesday instead). But I already registered for the PSAT at another school on Saturday, so I'm all set. The thing is, though, I only found out two or three days ago that I'd be doing this, so I have to cram in a lot of study time between now and then, especially for vocab...
