Failing final exam in highschool in Ontario?
I am taking online courses from a high school in Ontario. I am doing maths right now and its killing me. I think I will be able to manage going through the course but I am concerned about the final exam. If i fail the final exam from a high School in Ontario, but I get good grades through the course, do I still fail the whole course? please answer this with solid facts, not just assumptions. Points for best answer Thank you!! btw, I know that its different in every part of the world. For example, In California, if you fail the exam you fail the course as means to encourage students to study harder.
What would happen if your failing a class but then you Ace the Exam?
If it is the final exam,whole year included,than you are up to the next year.Congrats to you young lady. Just remember if you ace the final exam,you passed the year,and thats according to law of most countries in the world.
What would happen if I was failing a class and I aced the final exam? Would my grade improve by much or would I still fail the class?
I hate the answer I am about to give you, but it truly does depend on the situation. It depends on the class and the professor as well as school policies.But here’s the only thing you need to know. Different teachers and professors grade differently.Here’s an example,Teacher A might grade this way:20% Quizzes10% Homework45% Exams25% Final Exam—whereas Teacher B might grade this way:30% Quizzes00% Homework — homework isn’t counted towards the grade40% Exams30% Final Examor Teacher C grades this way10% Attendance70% Exams20% Final ExamAll of them total to 100%, right? So, in Teacher C, 10% of your grade is attendance, 70% of your grade is on exams, and 20% is your Final Exam.I think to answer your question, you need to ask your teacher how much of your grade will come from the Final Exam? Is it 10%? If you ace your final, but it’s only worth 10% then you’re out of luck. If you ace your final and it’s worth like 20% or more, then it will boost your grade.But if you fail, your grade can fall a little or a lot. It just depends on how your teacher weighs different components of your grade.
What will happen if I fail one semester of high school, but get straight A's in second semester? Will that cover my first semester?
Yes, that will usually they will just combine your 1st and 2nd semester grade to determine if you get the credit or not. However, gettin an A won’t necessarily get you the credit because it all depends on the grade you got during the first semester for example, you could have gotten a 40 in a class during the first semester, but the second semester you got a 90 the average would be a 65 and with that average you will fail the course. So, it all depends on what’s your grade from the first semester so keep that in mind.
Is cheating in high school ever okay? All it is is mountains of tests on stupid, irrelevant-to-life subjects, college level classes, scientific equations, and advanced complex math. None of it has to do with life, so why do I need to know it?
Absolutely! You should cheat as frequently as you can. I mean, try not to get caught, but if you do, it’s not that bad. Just keep cheating. It’s going to work out great for you in the long run. I mean, let’s look at some examples:Yup. Super successful. Won 7 Tours de France. What more could you want out of life?This guy got to take a ride in a helicopter!Thumbs up to cheating!This guy got to hit more home runs than anyone and get a whole new hat size!The problem with cheating is that it’s easy. It doesn’t make you more awesome, or stronger, or more capable, or more intelligent. It just gets you through the day. But tomorrow, people think you’re awesome, strong, capable, and intelligent. So you have to deliver, or you’ll be discovered as a cheat.So you cheat some more.But now people think you’re really awesome, strong, capable, and intelligent.You see where this is going: Cheaters almost always get caught. Or else they give up on cheating.Either way, you end up in a far worse place than you would have had you just worked through the problems you face.So cheat all you want. It’ll be great…for a while. Then, one day, when everyone knows just how splendid you are, when your reputation couldn’t be more stellar, you’ll be discovered for the fraud, the liar, the cheat that you are.Armstrong lost his endorsements and his championships. Nixon resigned in disgrace. Clinton nearly got kicked out of office, and was an anchor on his wife’s ambitions. Bonds will be forever denied the Hall of Fame, his amazing achievements scorned and derided.Try not to break any bones on your fall from grace.
What do you remember about your last day in high school?
I’m trying to remember my last day of high school and I can’t, no, not because I was incapacitated by drugs and alcohol:-).I was, shall we say, a bit of a wild child rebel. I was in all “accelerated” classes, as they were called in the early seventies. I had completed all of my necessary course work by the end of my junior year except Government and Swimming. My GPA was a whopping 2.2 because most days, my mother would drop me off at the front door of the enormous high school I attended and I would sail through to the back door, walk right out before first bell and hitch hike to the nearest pancake house and read and write in my journal all day.I mostly aced all of the finals because when I was in class I paid attention, just didn’t hand in any of that stupid homework stuff. My junior year ACT score was a 33. I was bored out of my mind and all I wanted to do was read, hang out with my best friends, listen to amazing music and smoke pot. I mean, c’mon!Senior year, and I still can’t remember why, I was told that I could leave school a semester early because my course work was complete even though I had never attended a swimming class and had a D- in Government. Oh, maybe it’s because by November I had skipped 17 days of school? Clearly the school wanted to put themselves and me out of our collective misery.Anyway, I skipped the last three days before winter break and then, three weeks after my seventeenth birthday, that was it! I was out of there!I did go back in June and graduate with my peers wearing cut-off jeans and a cropped tee shirt to show off the new rose tattoo on my hip beneath my graduation gown, barefoot. My friends and I snuck beer cans in under our gowns with long clear tubes feeding up out of the neck so we could nourish ourselves during the ceremony. It was a sunny, very hot June day, and there were almost 800 kids in my graduating class, hey we were thirsty!After a bit of a journey I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Literature and a 3.6 average, six years later. There is, indeed, life after high school. Still can’t swim, though:-).
What will colleges think if I fail the AP calc exam but get an A in the class? I’m really worried because the test was today; it went horribly.
Not at all. Many admissions officers, even at the top schools, are in their 20’s and understand that no one is perfect. Having known a bunch of them, they certainly are not.Here are my scores from high school. It should be noted that I got into every single college I applied to: Brown University, USC (with scholarship offer), and all of the University of California system.AP Latin Language, got a “1” because I had zero time to studyAP Chem, took twice and only got a “2”AP Calc, got a 2AP English Lit, Got a 3AP Latin Literature, Got a 3AP Macro Econ, Got a 4AP Euro History, Got a 4AP US History, Got a 5AP World History, Got a 5Some of these tests, like Calc and maybe Chem, I should have passed because my teaching quality was high. Some of these like English Lit and Latin literature, I should have done better on because my teaching was high.Some of these, like World History, I aced but did not even take the class.Having been a history major myself, I can say that the AP tests have nothing to do with studying the material in an actual college courses; community college is the best for getting a tester of a real four year university, without actually having to live on campus, etc.
