Hi, I am currently stuck in a predicament where I am confused about what courses to take in High school. I’m currently unsure whether or not to take a 4.0 class that is a pre-requisite to a 5.0. Please give me advice on what to do and what is the smart way to rack up the highest GPA possible.
If your sole goal is to “rack up the highest GPA possible” then you are going about high school all the wrong way. Please do not let the so-called “better” 5.0 be the only deciding factor for whether or not you take a class; unless you are the type of student who needs more of a challenge and thus requires all weighted classes to do so, you will find that taking a class you may not even like for the sake of that 5.0 will not be worth it. I’m not discouraging against taking weighted classes, but I suggest that you look beyond just the numbers. Instead, look into classes that sound interesting, classes you think you would enjoy. Challenge yourself, but try to enjoy high school and the courses you take. I know from experience that it goes by much too fast to have regrets.
Thanks, I’ll try my best
