Well, let's just say I'm not the greatest person ever at math. I actually try really hard. I do all of the extra credit things, I practice online and I pay attention during class, but I just can't seem to make a good grade. I've tried going to the extra help things at my school with my math teacher, but it doesn't help.
My average for the nine weeks this time was a 79. Is there something that anyone knows of that I can go to for help? Also, do colleges look at middle school grades or is it only high school grades?
xkellxx answered Tuesday October 10 2006, 7:30 pm: If you think about it, a 79 is one point away from an 80, which is excellent in my book. (I have a 60 average) So, if your in middle school, I wouldn't worry too much. If your planning on going to a public high school, you should be fine with getting in. College (that I know of) only looks at high school grades. But because they only look at high schools grades, it doesn't mean you should slack off in middle school. Hope I helped.

And colleges do -not- look at middle school grades.
They barely look at the first two years of high school. All that matters on college applications is your GPA, the marks on courses that go on your transcript and your extracurriculars.
Don't get too caught up on studies when you're this young. You have your entire life ahead of you to be serious. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
