Is this going to hurt?

Does your school give %, and what is the scale…7pt/10 pt. A C in our high school is an 84. My DS got a B in Honors English IV his percentage was a 92 ( I did say are you kidding me, you missed it by a pt?). Maybe the percentage is actually better than the actual grade. Now, if your C is a 74, I would go and buy some books and start studying. Since you said it was mid-term you are obviously not on a 4X4 schedule and you have time to buckle down and raise the grade.

From a parents point of view, my s has always had a problem with Pre-Calc and Calc, he was in honors and pull c"s in both, but his ACT for Math was 33, 670 SAT, and A’s in statistics, discrete math, geometry…Algebra I & II were 88 & 91…it was and still is the only class he got a C in (83’s = C in our school, but in a 10 pt. it would be a B)

In his nom interview he was asked why he got the C in Calc (we’re 4X4 and he took at our community college) and he said I just didn’t get it and the interviewer laughed and said neither did I. He still got the nom.

Take control and bring up the grades, you can’t spend time worrying about what ifs, you can spend time saying I won’t have to say what if, if I give 100%

I would be more concerned about AP Environmental Science, because at our school that is easier than Physics.
