<p>How do your grades change every quarter during a school year?</p>
<p>For me, first quarter is my worst quarter (boo midyear reports) since I need to get used to the classes and the teachers grading patterns. My first quarter grades are particularly bad this quarter because of the stress from colleges and parents…</p>
<p>It actually depends on the classes that I have in the Fall and Spring semesters. I know for a fact that my dedication to school work has dropped a bit from Jan-March due to robotics, missing 3 weeks of school, coming home really late, and being not really focused, so that really effects 3rd quarter stuff, but I usually manage to pull everything together by 4th.</p>
<p>I’m usually an excellent student during the whole first semester. It really depends on the workload though. Last year I had almost ALL electives first quarter, so of course I had straight As. Then 2nd quarter I was screwed with all of the heavy-workload classes at the same time + robotics. It looks to be that way again this year, but eventually you have to learn to balance, given any circumstance, or else your grades will feel the pain.</p>
