It is possible to get a high SAT score in math by studying. But a D in Algebra II- what's going on? Not doing the homework?\nWhen I was in junior high, I deliberatly flubbed the placement for high school, because I didn't want to take Calculus as a junior.\nI was kicking butt in Algebra 1 as a freshman and my friend told the teacher. I got moved into Algebra II as a freshman.\nI ended up with a D as well.\nI ended up dropping out of high school due to a crazy situation at home. Later, while working at a dry cleaners, I had lots of free time, and I was bummed that I didn't graduate. I got the Baron's SAT guide and worked the problems over and over for months.\nEnded up with a 650 math. Graduated from UCSB, but I went to state college first and transferred later. \nPursue your dreams and never give up!\nOh yeah it helps if you can write a good essay, maybe you can explain your math grades.

I dropped out this year. My senior year of highschool. And yeah, i am already starting to regret it. It's really hard finding a job, or even getting someone to even look at your applications. But we all learn from our mistakes. and what ever does not kill us will make us stronger. So i feel that there's a reason i dropped out. And things will get better i'm sure. I just have to work more at setting and achieving goals. but i can still do whatever i want, and be what ever i want. as long as i choose to do so. Education is key, as i'm beginning to find out. So i hope you don't make the same mistakes i did. Take care and God bless. JJJ

When you take the tests for your grades do feels that you had no clue or did you just get it wrong, maybe you do not  fully understand the lesson, I am assuming you do STUDY.  Try writing down your not of key points and review the night your test.  Try a study buddy, ask each other questions on the material.  Good luck, don't give up. Knowledge is power.

Make sure to ask questions or ask for help if you don't understand something.  You are capable of getting passing grades if you try.  If you are really trying to do your assignments and do well in school, and you are failing, you are probably not placed in the right class, so talk to a school counselor.  School counselors are also good supports for dealing with the "drama" and personal issues.\n\nTry to find some friends who are a positive influence on you and support for you, then try not to get caught up in the drama, which is in every high school.  Use a journal or someone you trust to talk to that is outside the school (like a parent or mentor) and hang in there.  High school is over before you know it.  But make sure you pass so you can graduate.  Good luck!

Yes, but as they say: "You can't get there from here."\n\nI'm assuming that you have already applied and been rejected. If not, then by all means apply. The worst that can happen is to be turned down. You may be able to get in, but you'll never know if you don't try. \n\nIf you have already applied and been rejected, my advice is to go to a accredited junior college and rack up at least one year of good grades. Then apply again while still attending classes at that junior college. You essentially have to create a track record of good grades to prove yourself. \n\nGet tutoring, make friends with studious kids and study with them, do ALL your homework, and study hard. ANYONE can make top grades if they try hard enough. It's just a question of how bad you want it and whether you will sacrifice enough to  reach your goal.\n\nI also suggest that you pick several other universities and pursue them as well. Despite what some may say, the university you attend is not as important as how hard you work. Good grades from a less than wonderful university is still better than mediocre grades from a top university. And two or three years after you start your career, very few people will even care where you got your degree. Your reputation at work will have a much greater bearing on your career than where you went to school.\n\nThe only people who make a big deal about the university they attended are those who haven't accomplished much after they left it.

Yea,study as hard as you can to get the best grades,the better your high school grades the better your chances of getting into the best colleges!  Also,keep your legs closed; having a baby in high school will make it much harder from you to complete your goals.....Good Luck!!!

Don't get so fixated on grades that you drive yourself crazy. Make sure your life has balance. Colleges like to see that you have a life and interests outside school.\n\nThe key to getting A's in high school is to make sure you do all your assignments and turn them in on time, in addition to studying hard for every test. If the teacher offers extra credit for something, do it even if you are already getting a good grade, just to buy yourself a little wiggle room in case you blow something later. And remember, even if you get a B (or worse) the world won't end and you will still be able to get in a good college.\n\nThe most important thing is that you continue to enjoy learning. Have fun and take advantage of all the experiences that high school has to offer.

There is nothing wrong with you, you just need to try harder and study harder in the subjects that you are'nt as good at. A lot of people are like that, infact most people are. Just keep trying as hard as you can.

Yes it was hard because I was distracted by the fair sex for 2 years,  I had to go to summer school to graduate on time.  Act like the answer to life is in your schoolbooks and notes.

I never really had senioritis, but from  what I can tell, the best thing is to realize that yes, you're about to graduate high school, but you have to be careful.  If you don't stay focused on your work, then you just might find yourself back at the high school next year.  Stay level-headed, and don't give in to the peer pressure that's telling you to slack off, because you only have a few months left.  That idea seemed to help a number of my friends when they and I were seniors, so I hope it'll help you.

Freshmen have no experience upon entering high school.  They are used to having teachers hold them by the hand and leading them through everything.  In high school it seems like you suddenly become more independent and teacher's don't want to lead you through things step by step.  They give you something and basically let you run with it.  Also, if you fail the class then it's your fault for not trying where as in the past, at least at my schools, they've let you get by with your failure not anymore.  \nMy advisor for BPA is always telling some of us how the freshmen just stare off into space and look at him blankly.  \nThen you have your upperclassmen who have had the experience and have learned to be more independent through their past years.  What it all really boils down to is your maturity level and the experience you have between freshmen year and others.

It all depends on what subjects you're good at or not good at, which varies from student to student. For me, anything that had to do with science or math was the hardest.

okay im a junior my perents use to have to push me and push me to work hard in school. now i push myself to do the best i can. i dont know how old you are but as you get older college comes up faster then you think and you should start getting serious about school... my opinion though everyone has their own

It's not hard if you are disciplined. It's actually easier than high school in that no one forces you to go to class, you set your own schedule, and  you take fewer classes, BUT remember going to class is the key to doing well in college...if you go everyday and pay attention, take notes, you will be just fine.

Simple statistics... not successful in the\n3rd grade: 80% chance you will not catch up;\nnot successful in mid-school: 92% chance of\nnot making it; high school:  98% chance.  The\nlonger it takes you to get in gear, the more\ndifficult it becomes.  ...but not impossible.\nA good friend went to college unable to read\n(The GI bill for military made it possible.)\nLong anguishing nights of struggling with words\nand many tears enabled him to finally graduate.\nWhen you want to succeed, you can, but right\nnow I would say your future career is in doubt\nunless you want to spend your life flipping\nburgers at McDonalds.
