Do colleges see your individual term grades or your year grades. I am in Advanced Pre-Calculus and for the first two terms I got an 89 and an 86, but this term I think I am going to get a 76 or so, is that a big deal?

Get a copy of your transcript, that is exactly what the colleges will see.

Colleges will barely look at AP scores.  Don't worry if you bombed one of them, especially if it's one that had nothing to do with your intended major.\n\nYour GPA, SAT, activities, application are the main things that they look at.

It depends on how your school calculates GPAs. Were any of these grades minuses or pluses? Ask for a transcript and you'll know for sure, but if the grades you listed are straight As and Bs (including the F), then your GPA should be somewhere around a 3.0, +/- .25. This is only true if this is your first semester in college. If not, you need to figure them in with your existing GPA.\n\nWithout the F, it would been around a 3.6.\n\nGet tutoring if you're having difficulty with the classwork.\n\nStudent GPA tools\nhttp://www.image-ination.com/test_maker/gpa.html\n\nGrading system in the United States\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(education)#United_States\n\n_______________________

Wow.  You have everything?  Except the .05 for your grades.  Guess what, I got into college with lower than a 2.0 before.  You just need to talk to the teacher and say something like: I really want to go, but will I be able to even though I am .05 below the 8.0 grade scale?  I could boost this up if given the opportunity, but to prevent me from going because of a minor thing such as .05 which is not much compared to 1.0  which is not as close as 7.95 as it is exactly 8.0, so if you are as confused as me, would you consider a solution to this problem because I am so close to having an 8.0.  Do I have to go to summer school to improve that by .05 points in order to go?  Is there something I can do to ensure I can go?  Will I be allowed to go even if I do not meet 8.0?  And out of how many others have perfect scores and are allowed to go?  "Just because something or somebody tells you that you cannot, or you will not do this or that, then you must step up and say how come?  Why?  Then after they answer, do you easily give up?  No, you fight back with your words because you really want to go to L.A.  So, do as I have suggested, stay calm and collected and speak softly, but carry a big stick, that is your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth shall stick to them faster if you go over it like a rational adult without arguing or complaining.  So, be brave, be courageous and when you are ready to speak, let your heart do the talking for you.  Believe it or not, I have always gotten farther with a positive attitude.  But this nation is so accustomed to complainers and whiners that they easily quit on what they really want to do.  No wonder we have psychology!  So, you really do know what to say now, don't you?  Remember the last time you got what you wanted without asking for it first?  Who hands out anything on a silver platter here?  I work hard and earn everything just like you.  So, having a physical disability didn't keep me from acheiving my goals or accomplishing my dreams.  But others who wouldn't allow me to do these did, and they got the wake up call when I spoke from my heart's content, that they were so touched they just had to give me what I wanted because God did the talking for me.  I am just a vessel He uses to get what He wants for me, believe this and you will not need to know what to say when He speaks through your mouth and out comes the words, and it makes you happy because you gained more bravery.  Or you can accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior since He died for your sins, man.  That we are brothers no matter what anyone else may say or do, and it is because God answered your question through me.  No one in their right mind can reject Him.  Hence the words: Right mind.  That means: Free from stress and disappointment in yourself, as well as others.  And I am not a preacher, yet I preach the message as it is universal understanding of getting from one point to another.  You have the help you require when you help yourself first.  Help yourself by speaking and verbalizing your concerns to the teacher, to the administration, to even the president of the United States, but who is going to listen unless you do something out of the ordinary.  Remember, you are like a stranger in a country of your own.  You speak the language differently now.  You should love yourself, so you may do what you really like, then you can use this to help others love themselves so the entire world will love one another, even their enemies and strangers they do not know.  This is the message and it has never changed.  Do you believe it?  Do you want it?  You have to want it more than going to L.A. in order to get to L.A. for those who trust in Jesus get what they need, and even what they want.  And those who do not, I tell you, are suffering needlessly.

4 absences is high, at least for classes where attendance is recorded.  That said, your grade will depend on the individual policies of your instructor.  Sometimes attendance may simply mean having your butt at a desk during class, but instructors will often take participation to be part of the "attendance" grade.  The best response I can give would be to ask your instructor, as he/she is the one who knows how that attendance grade will be calculated, and also perhaps to explain why you had so many absences (if they are reasonable, the instructor may not penalize as harshly).

I took both AP English and Calculus my senior year of High School.  I skipped honor English and got an A in my AP class every term.  The grade depends on both your teacher and the materials that you learn.  The AP test changes every year, they never reuse a test.  The same goes for the AP Calculus test as well.  It just depends on how well you study, learn and take tests.  If you decide to take both classes but think that you will not pass the test you do not have to take it and the class will still count as the needed credit.  But don't worry if you have a good teacher and like the material that you are learning you will have no problem with the test.  Also, when you take the test don't go into it thinking that you will fail or that it is going to be super hard because then your setting yourself up for failure.  My AP classes in High School were the funnest classes that I had and I loved taking them.  I took both tests at the end of the school year and I passed the Calc test but not the English test but I still had fun taking the class.

How is everyone else doing in the class? I have heard of teachers that grade really hard and then curve a lot at the end of the year. So a %50 turns into an A grade.\nI suggest talking to the teacher and seeing what the teacher has to say.\nAlways-> If you are doing badly in a class you should always go to the teachers office hours. If a teacher knows you and knows that you are trying, they are more likely to give you a better grade. Even if you aren't doing badly, go to the teacher's office hours! There is a big difference between a B+ and an A-.\nConsider a tutor. Some colleges have free tutoring!!! Use all of your college resources, you are paying for it.\nIf you can still withdraw/drop from the class you should consider doing that. Don't just quit going if you can't drop the class!! If you can't drop or withdraw from the class formally with your registrar’s office then continue to show up if you have to retake the class. The more you learn now the better it will be the next time you take the class. \nBeware if you don't drop or withdraw the class officially, many schools, if you are retaking a class will average the two scores together. So if you get a 1.00 this time and an 4.00 (A) next time your overall grade is considered to be a 2.5. \nAs for Financial aid depends on the school. Many schools will give you one semester to mess up. They will consider you on probation and take action if you don't improve. \nAlso if you drop the class you could lose some financial aid and have to pay whatever the school makes you pay for a late drop out of your pocket.\nSee a Financial Aid counselor.

You should be able to figure this out for yourself. Get out your calculator and multiply:  (90 x .6) + (90 x .2) + (62 x .2) ... that should tell you your composite grade based on those weightings.  Re-do with the other weightings for the comparison.

You are taking AP classes, which means they are just like taking college classes. You get college credit for them. So, at college, you will get assignments, and most of the time they are not collected, the answers are discussed as a group, which is what I gather is going on in your AP classes. Just do the work so you don't fall behind in your discussions. And, even if your teachers are not grading your assignments, the tests you take will be, and if you want the college credit for these classes, I suggest you study, even if you don't feel like it.

Let's start with the basics: 4 out of 4 A, 3.7 out of 4 A-, 3.3 out of 4 B+, 3 of 4 is a B. For 92.5% and above is at least an A-. I assume you new this before you took the class. 89% is 3.56 well below 3.7. Bordering B+/A-, no where near an A. Begging is not a way of getting a A.\n\nNow let look at the facts: you took a class, did some graded work, and then got evaluated for the work. What that says is that at a given point in time, you got some measurement. That is all. It is not life, it is a temporal measure.\n\nSometimes we win and sometimes we lose. I remember having a 98% and got a B+. It is one of the few grades that I remember, and probably one the few grades that I would like to forget. But it was a temporal measure, that is all.\n\nNo teacher (and if he or she is a really good teacher) likes revisiting grades. You want all your student to do their best, and some student's best in not good enough. It is not pleasant to say to someone that their best was not good enough. Grading criteria is govern by our teachers not our students.\n\nAs unfair as it sounds, hard work is not a factor, it is comprehension. Grades are temporal measures of comprehension. You may have worked hard to comprehend, but hard work is not the measure.\n\nWhatever your grade, it is what you understand that counts. Years from now you won't even remember your classes, let alone your grades. So relax, enjoy the break, and get ready to start another term.

what college has the better science /math department!?\nalways look at the strenth of a colleges individual math and science departments. This can help you determine if the college is able to provide you with what you need academically.

It all depends on your school system. Normally, it is 4.0 = A+, 3.5 = A-, and 3.0 = B+ and so forth... Some classes- such as college classes have a 5.0 GPA system. I'd recommend looking up online, from ASKJeeves, for a GPA calculator or look up: How can I find out what my GPA is?\n\nGood luck!\n\nMichelle

Depending on the University if they have a very sophisticated system.  If not then you can probably get away with it.  However they will evaluate your transcript of records if it can be credited to their own.  Off course, they will try to back track and look at your first grades.  Example, if you passed Subject 1, 2 and 3 but you only show Subject 2 and 3, they would wonder where did you take Subject 1?  If not you have to go back again and take these subjects from the very beginning.  Its a risk you have to take.

We need more information:\n\n1. What's the low end of your "C" scale? Many schools go with the 90/80/70/60 scale, but quite a few may not.\n2. I have to assume you have more grades than that one test.\n\nIf that test indicates how you've done so far, then I'd have to assume you'd need to average a 90 the rest of the grading period, but I can't accurately calculate that without knowing your other grades.

Cumulative grade point average - or GPA, is based on the\n4-point based system of grading.\nAn A = 4.0\n     B = 3.0\n     C= 2.0\n     D =1.0\n     F = 0\n\nYour grade point average in any one semester or year is where they take all the "points" you've earned, and divide that sum by the total hours you took. In college, if you took 12 semester hours and received an;\n\n1 Class = 3 hours, you received an A = 4 points. (3 hours X 4)\n1 Class = 3 hours, you received a   B = 3 points  (3 hours X 3)\n1 Class = 3 hours, you received a   C = 2 points  (3 hours X 2)\n1 Class = 3 hours, you received a   B = 3 points. (3 hours X 3)\n\nSum of all the points 12 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 36 points, divided by\n12 hours = 3. Your GPA for that semester is 3.0 - or a B.\n\nCumulative GPA is just taking ALL the grades or points from courses you have earned to date toward a degree and divide by all those same hours.

This sounds dubious, unethical, and highly likely to backfire on you. If every student could just change his/her grades, then GPAs would have no meaning. Your current school is not going to be fooled by this ruse. Find a moral way to achieve your goals.
