I get out of this stuff later than everyone else

[xx_hail]

Even though school for me TECHNICALLY doesn't end until the 24th and I DO have to be there from 9-3:30 every day, today is the last day of normal classes, so I'm going to consider school over

YOU LITTLE GENIUS TAKING 12th GRADE MATH I HATE YOU

/cries

who is tsundere NOT ME /cough

[xx_hail]

we have 4 grade 12 maths we have to get through

I'm doing the easiest one in the second half of next year. SO IT REALLY DOESN'T COUNT. In the US I think grade 12 is basically Calculus, and here I have to take 3 "grade 12" maths before Calculus.

orz

My school is weird so I don't know if Calc is normally High School or college. It used to be college, at least.
At my school you normally take Trig/Pre-Calc in 12th but then you can sometimes take Algebra 1 in 8th and then you take Calc in 12th then there's also the people who take Algebra 2 and Geometry the same year so depending on if you skipped Pre-Alg you can take Calc 2 or Calc 1.
/shrug

ALSO I skippe Pre-Calc but I don't wanna take Calc so I can get out of it by taking Stats FFFFT

WELL DONE FOR GETTING THROUGH FRESHMAN YEAR 8D

I MANAGED IT TOO HURRAH.

next year i have to do IB... /sob

[xx_hail]

IB... I don't remember hearing that term before, care to share?

[leriacossato]

IB: International Baccalaureate program.

In my school it doesn't start til Grade 11 so that's why I didn't do it this year and I took AP stuff instead.

[xx_hail]

Yeah, my compulsories this year basically looked like that middle-year program. It should be okay, though? I just know that here we have to take 8 classes a year in grade 11 and 12, but they don't have to be two languages, one science, one humanities, etc.

*applauds*

Good for you! :D Hope your schedule works out.

[xx_hail]

I got called down again today to give my schedule a look. I'm fairly happy with it; here it is as it stands, chronologically descending:

Semester 1:

History 10
Science 10
Driver's Ed/Choral 10 (these classes are every second day so they switch off)
Wellness
Pre-AP English A10
Pre-AP Math 20

Semester 2:

Pre-AP Math A30
Pre-AP English B10
Biology 20
Lunch/Choral 20
French 10
(spare period)

Because not everyone is Canadian, Grade 10 classes are 10-level, Grade 11 is 20-level, and Grade 12 is 30-level. There are four Grade 12 maths -- A30, B30, C30, and Calculus. Since Art was supposed to be an elective, I ended up being one credit short, so I took up singing every second day instead.

CONGRATULATIONS

G-grade 12 Math FFFFF so smart, you.

[xx_hail]

B-but

In Canada, a class is only half a semester long. So you can technically take grade 9 and 10 in grade 9, 11 and the first of four grade 12 maths in grade 10.

There are three more to take after next year.

FFFFFFFFF

[xx_hail]

Half a year, AKA one semester orz. Not half a semester.

Hope everything works out with your timetable. Back in highschool, I signed up for grade 9 music but when I started school I found out I was pushed to grade 9 art due to many people applying for art. That school was famous for music.

It may be a bit early but you should look at some University and college brochure to see if any major looks interesting. One thing I despised at my highschool was that they only started to talk to you about uni/college during the last year of highschool. Quite a bit late to find out at that time that I needed biology 12 and chemistry 12 for environmental science. So I had to go with business instead >_>

[xx_hail]

Our school is famous for art, so fml.

Thank you for the advice! I've already decided that I want a medical degree, and the prerequisites at the uni I'm going to are your grade 12 maths and three grade 12 sciences (bio/chem/physics) along with two years in the art/science college. I like to know what I need to do before I dunk my head into it.
