<p>Thank you for the reply. </p>
<p>I have not talked with my guidance counselor yet (I just received my final grades). I am guessing that there is probably a credit-recovery system in place at my high-school to account for the failure, but what I am concerned about is how this will show up on my transcript.</p>
<p>Freshman year of high-school, I received a solid A in math, Sophomore year a B, and I have always been in advanced Honors courses for Math. I consider myself competent in math (not brilliant, though) so failing this class was a crippling blow for me. I plan on taking AP Calculus AB next year since I believe that I can handle it and want to show colleges that Junior year Math was an anomaly in my academic record. </p>
<p>As for the rest of my grades, I juggled four AP classes this year, as well as one other in Sophomore year, and I managed to receive As in all of them, with the exception of AP Chemistry Sophomore year, which was a B.</p>
<p>“Did you ask for extra help or talk to anybody about this during the semester?”</p>
<p>My Math teacher and guidance counselor were already wary of this, but I didn’t come in for extra-help since 1) My teacher is a very poor one and he cannot explain a simple math concept coherently, 2) I was juggling multiple things after-school every week (extra-curriculars, volunteering work, etc.) and 3) I stupidly assumed that I would be able to rise above it independently by using outside sources, like videos, online textbooks, etc. </p>
<p>This all culminated in the mess that I have now sitting before me. I plan on e-mailing my counselor about it (school will be out in a matter of days and I have no opportunity to meet with her) and seeing what my options are.</p>
<p>I have not told my parents about this (I would be crushed by their response), so I turned to CollegeConfidential and other Internet sources for help.</p>
