School
13/f
I am in 8th grade and go to a year round school. The first trimester I had a 1.8 and 2nd trimester I had a 2.6. I think we need a 6 point something to pass and go to high school. So I have no idea what to do. I did very bad in first trimester. I think you need to add the GPA up and then divide it by 6 right? So if I have the GPA I have now then will I pass? I am going to try and get them up again but I just want to know what it will be. I don't know for sure if I have to divide by 6 but I'm not sure. Oh by the way I have brought my grades up but I am struggling when tests come, I stink at studying. I always put it off. So does anyone have have any study tips. I talk to my teachers alot about it. I just need help. Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
in most schools, at least the ones in the united states that I've been to & know of, there is a maximum of a 4.0 or 5.0 GPA. (depending on whether or not you're in honors)
To find your GPA, you take the grade points you get in all of your classes and divide it by the total number of classes you have.
I suggest you talk to your counsellor about whether or not you will be able to pass- & what you have to do to pass, if it is not likely at the moment.
Here's the point scale-
A- 4 points
B- 3 points
C- 2 points
D- 1 point
F- no points
Of course, this may or may not be correct depending on your geographical location, I am in California, & thats what is used here.
As far as studying goes, there are different tips & tricks that work for an individual person.
Some common ones are:
-study every day! Try to get in five to ten minutes, maybe before bed? If you can't do it everyday, study for ten to fifteen minutes every other day. This is if you have a test or not!
While studying...
-say things aloud. Its like studying twice as hard with half the conscious effort.
-have a friend, family member, or anyone available quiz you.
-make flash cards.
-have fun! Some of the subject matter may be horribly boring, but there are very interesting ways of remembering it. Don't worry if its something you should say in front of your teacher- you're the only one who has to know about it.
Cram sessions are not good! Your brain will not retain the information as well this way!
But if the situation does come up, remembering to take brief breaks in between. (15 minutes or so.)
Hope that helped- & good luck. :]

I am not sure about figuring the GPA for a year-round school because my school year only has two semesters. If you go to your school guidance counselor, they should help you with that, definitely. As for study tips, here are some helpful ones that have really made my life a lot easier:
