They always count, but they will really start counting in high school toward your GPA, I know this because I'm in 9th grade and I am really trying to keep it up

Grades matter for the transition into new parts in your life.  High school grades matter when applying for college and college grades matter when trying to find a job.  It is not the only thing employers look at.  Work experience is the most important thing, in my opinion.

Assuming that you mean grades on your school performance, I can think of a couple:\n\n1. Grades help you to have a sense of how well you are mastering the material and expectations for your schoolwork.\n2. Grades can be one form of motivation for learning. It is external motivation, and it would be nice for you to have internal motivation for good school work, but external motivation can be helpful anyway.\n3. Some people get a sense of satisfaction with setting a goal for grades and working toward reaching these goals.

yup, that's good, though there's always room for improvement! :)\n\nfocus on your poorer subjects and aim to understand them better... remember what you want to be in the future will depend on the scores of certain subjects... just continue to strive for a better grade and focus on your vision and goal. \n\nall the best!!!!! :)

In what year of high school are you (or whoever this concerns) in? This matters, because most likely, if your GPA is low right now, it'll take at least a year to raise it. This is because you're probably going to have to take a tougher academic schedule. Taking high track, AP or IB courses is a sure way to skyrocket a GPA. However, there are other ways: an internship, work study or vocational course that you can receive credit hours for, an academic summer camp you can receive credit for (and take it from me, I've done two summer academic camps, and they are LOADS OF FUN!), or even independent study (like working on your own projects and submitting it to teachers or guidance counselors for extra credit). Regardless of which method you choose, you've got to work harder than you are working now, and it's gonna take a ton of discipline. The best tip has already been given: DON'T PROCRASTINATE!! Keep working hard!

Middle school will provide plenty of opportunity to make new friends. This is not a logical time to skip a grade. Instead, get involved with activities in the school so you can meet more people and expand your social circle.

I actually have a big problem when it comes to school myself. Im actually very intelligent, (sorry for flaunting it hehe)  but I have a problem with work ethic. As a result, my grades are suffering and Im underachieving tremendously. I gathered from this rather qucikly that school is what you make it...and getting good grades seriously enhances the overall experience.\n\nSo I would say grow a pair and study/do homework..believe me, life is alot easier when you get good grades

that really depends on your personal situation.  it would help if you had any idea how you almost got a b.  im a straight a student and id say its because i always do my homework, study more than i think i have to, and i happen to test well.  whats most important depends on how your teacher grades.  sometimes homework has the greatest effect on your grade, sometimes tests.  participating in class is always an extra bonus if your teacher grades subjectively and not as point-based.  dont worry if you get a b though!!  Some classes and teachers are just way harder than others.  If theres a particular class thats concerning you, ask your teacher directly about it.  keep up the work and good luck!

You have to get it inside yourself to improve. if you try to improve just for that semster or something, technically, you haven't improved. You've just crammed some good grades in the grade book so you can have a good grade in that class. You have to develop the whole attitude of,"ima get my grades up because it will improve me as a person not just in this particular class." Thats what i did. I got one C in the third grade and i have been making straight A's, skipped a grade, and have been placed in many academically gifted courses. So a week wouldn't do it. You gotta work on it, seriously. Sad, but true!!!

You need to give more info if you actually want help. Study harder, pay more attention in school, and do your homework. I'm sure you'll be fine. You can also ask your teacher if there is anything you can do to bring your grade up. Like extra credit, or somehting you haven't turned in. Good luck.

Yes. Know that you will. No matter your grades before.  Is all about determination. Know that if nothing else.

School is work, but extra credit it the way to raise without putting in much. See if your teacher has any avable, then do it all in one blast. If it making poster do 6 in one night (That is what I spent last Wensday doing) It will take some time, but it gives you room to slack off. Even though i suggest putting in an effort.

I turned 17 the year I was a junior (11th grade) and 18 when i was in 12 grade (the year before college) also in January. This is a normal time. Administration puts people in "grades" by looking at your birthday, for example, if you were born in November you may be able to be in the grade ahead or below you. One of my friends was a year ahead of me in school but her birthday is on November 22, 2 months before me. Another one of my friends birthday is July 30, 6 months before me, but he was in my grade. It also has a lot to do with when your parents registered you for school when you were little. Trust me, being 18 when you go to college is very good :) you are the normal age range.

ONLY if u do ALL of ur homeowork, project and thing like that, Get to class on time, make sure u don't do projects epesically big on on the last day brefore u turn it in. Make sure when u check out library book from the school that u turn it in on the due date. Then i think u will get good grades and do good in school w/o going on the restrction list for too many taries or over due library book,ect. MAke sure to ask question if u don't get something and definatley listen 2 all of ur teacher no matter how boring they can be. Make sure u know and understand ur homework before u leave that class. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Also, another important thig is study for your test in else u know the material really well that u don't need to study like sicence for example, if u have hw from that calss and u hab a test tomorrow after the hw is do then you could not study b/c u hab hw to help u review.
