Totally. And just saying, but if you were good at BW, then sc2 will be much easier, mechanically and mentally.

What streams do you watch? I usually watch Idra or TLO these days, with huskystarcraft when they're not streaming.

We went from a thread about getting good grades to a thread about video games...

Ah, Idra lololol.

I usually watch whatever bw is on the side of teamliquid dot com.I sometimes watch Morrow when he plays HOTS beta.Anyways, My watching preference is like this;

HOTS Z using Swarm Hosts = HOTS T using widows = BW Z (unless ZvZ which is just boring imo) = BW T = BW P (I actually like this mirror) > Sc2 Z > Sc2 P > sc2 T

@CE5

The two are directly proportional. Plus Starcraft is more than just a game. Its a lifestyle.

Just ask the Koreans.

Everything but English courses:

Don't study or read when it is just a "GE" course. Course notes a bunch. Use a Spanish translator. Use the back of the book. The internet. Your resources, and be smart when you actually read or listen to the teacher.

I've adopted a mindset that considers anything below an A to be a failure. You prevent yourself from settling for anything below a certain mark and it just drives you mentally. I'm not really sure how else to explain it besides saying that I would feel let down knowing I'd have to settle for less than my best.

If you can, I strongly recommend taking dual enrollment classes. Having experience in an actual college classroom is great, and it makes your AP classes seem much, much easier.

edit: Guys, SC2? Really? Hop onto the LoL train

^Never! LoL is nooby brah. Microing an army + Macroing > Microing one unit.

Hey, Dude (or Dudette)
Listen it is hard to achieve Straight As. (Assuming you mean A+ 100%)
The important part of grades is 2 things: Trying Hard and getting something out of your subject.
For some, the best they can do is a B+ in Algebra 2. Thats fine if they try as hard as they can.
For example, last year during Algebra 1 i got an 95 in a Quarter Exam. My parents were quite angry because the 3 question i missed were because of a lack of focus. I was entirelly committed. So i was in a bit of trouble.
before i step off my soapbox, i just want to say that Trying your Hardest in School and actually Learning is most important. As my Dad says, "Son if you work hard, the A will come."

or you could take Pre-Algebra and Physical Science as a Senior.

goodnoodle

^you got a problem with me taking pre algebra as a senior! Jk

CE527M

That would be sad if someone took pre-Algebra as a senior...they wouldn`t graduate...for my school, you have to have at least 3 math credits to graduate with a standard diploma...4 for advanced.

You gotta find what works for you. Personally I'm an individual learner who studies like crazy at home but sleeps in class. Also allocate your time wisely. You don't have to make a 100 in everything so if it comes down to choosing between two subjects, study for the one with the lower grade. The other grade could take a hit and still be an A. Finally go all out and relax once in a while or you'll break down at critical times.

By doing all the homework,studying and going to school everyday on time! I have yet to follow all those so I don't have straight As.
