im in physical science, I did chemistry last semester, 8th grade but my school is a grade ahead so im in 8th grade but im learning 9th grade level stuff, my teacher is a real nutcase of a wackadoo, and my current average is a 73 but that's because the science teacher didn't grade anything from this semester. That last thing he graded was from 2020 lol.

*blows a streamer* HOORAY FOR SUMMER HOLIDAY!!

Well, it'll be good for you to unwind before high school starts. The mindset will be a very different change.

So you sit around a C then (I live in Canada so a 70 is a B- but I would assume you are American). Seems odd that your science teacher hasn't graded anything since 2020. I understand that the last few units in the course would get cut off due to the circumstances but months are a pretty big stretch.

True, I'm not rly looking forward to it, but I'll try to learn as much as I can about it before I start so I know what I'm doing during the year.

Well then, I'll tell you some things worth knowing. You may already know these things but if you don't, they'll be helpful. First things first, you have to take notes and you have to do the homework even if your teacher isn't collecting it. Simply paying attention during class, studying last minute and doing all those things people did during elementary and middle school won't work in high school. You ought to review your notes both after class on the day you get them, and a second time during your studying before evaluations (tests/quizzes). You can't procrastinate anymore, you should always utilize all the time you have when working on assignments. This doesn't mean you have to study for hours everyday, but you should be prepared to work outside of class everyday. If you miss a day of class, make it your priority to message your teacher or get the notes/work from a fellow student if they aren't already on your google classroom and such because you usually can't afford to fall behind all that much. If you feel you are having trouble and are falling behind, don't wait to ask for help or tell your parents. You should do it immediately so that you can get that edge. Truth be told, grades 9-11 are usually not very important in the grand scheme of things or rather, they aren't for me since Canadian universities/colleges only look at gr 12 marks (they only care about gr 11 marks if your gr 12 marks are insufficient or if your apply on early acceptance) although, it is more than likely probably the same for your school. Despite this, don't disregard your 9-10 marks, understanding and performing well in those grades will make it easier in 11-12. Lastly, try to plan ahead. This one isn't really mandatory since you will only be going to gr 9 but it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to think about post high school education and schools because of the prerequisites the programs will require.

Don't worry, it really isn't that hard. The work itself as well as the notes are pretty easy. The main idea is consistency, always work consistently and thoroughly. If you do that, you will be fine.

Are you in 12th grade? Cause from the way you are saying stuff it seems like you have been through 9th grade.

I am currently in my last two months of grade 11 but rest assured, I have experienced 9-10. I also have family members who have been through 12 and have entered their post-high school education so I have some general understanding of the worth ethic and requirements.

That happened once at my school. There was a girl with a gun and she was just prowling around the school, all the kids had to go inside and a policeman caught her. She tried to run but the policeman were to fast.

That sounds terrifying! The only other time I’ve had a lockdown was when there was a bear on campus.

However, I have a math final in 2-3 weeks and I’m quite nervous. I feel confident about my mathematic capabilities but passing this is important. In February, I took a test to determine how ready I am for a level of math that requires me to skip a grade in math. I aced that. But the final part of skipping a grade in math is passing advanced on this final exam. Welp wish me luck

Also taking all honors classes so that’s fun
