then you obviously don't know your graduation requirements. most likely you need 4 years of english and math, 3 years of history and science and one year of health. get your account deleted and focus on school.

[flipsta_lombax]

Oh wow. My school only requires 24 credits, and I already have those. 50 creds seems too much... If you are graduating this year, lol, you are in deep shiitzu. Try getting off FFR and do well in your classes, summer school, and perhaps another year of high school.

[SheSheChan]

What grade are you in and about how many credits should you get per year?

[rade0110]

12.5 per year would be a set pace. So if he's in his junior year, he needs 15 per year for the next 2 years. Which, if he has 7 classes a day like I did, he'll need 1 year of summer school also.

Find a alternative high school that offers no homework. That's what I did after falling behind so much at my regular high school. I amazingly graduated on time (C/O '06 WOOT!!) and now I'm a college sophomore working at a part time job getting paid $7.00/hour

I love how people are making all sorts of "OMG 50 credits" comments without seeming to get that schools operate on different systems. In my school you got one credit per course, so you got 8 credits per year of full time school. If his school operates on (what I assume is) 3 credits per course, his numbers and mine are obviously not going to match up.

Well you could of mentioned that earlier, so what 010ner, Just either go to summer school or if your school offers credit recovery, take that I mean its not like your life is over.....yet.

[Wow GG]

I would suggest taking night school(providing you don't have a job or your school even provides it) or like in my school we have extended day classes, that's like an extra period to make up credits. Also at my school we have this thing called Nova Net, I'm not entirely sure what it is, but its during school hours and its at your own pace, so if you can get all your work done in a week then congratulations on your new credits. Right now I'm retaking English 1 the first half of it because I screwed around on my Freshman year, and now I need it to graduate this year.

To sum it up, just do night school, nova net, extended day classes, or better yet go ask your guidance counselor.

Attend school regularly, study, join up with night school, attend school during the weekends, attend school during the winter and spring breaks and on any holiday or abbreviated day, study, and lastly, attend summer school.
(still assuming that you will still have classes on the weekends)

In doing this, you will basically be in school 24/7 (excluding Christmas). Good job.

Oh yeah, don't forget to study..

[swordmasterz]

50 Credits? Are you kidding me... xD

It's like 28 here, lol. Then again, its like 1 credit a course, so..

My question is, why ask FFR people? There might be a bunch of people that are pretty intelligent on the website, but I doubt any of them understand the circumstances your in.

But if you must know, just follow other peoples' advice and make up credits/attend school more. Most importantly, put a halt to playing FFR for a while. =P

[boondocks77]

no offense or anythin but ur an idiot. u fail to pass a grade, go to summer school. if u fail to do that, then dont whine on an arrow game site becuz no one cares or wants to hear it. stay bak in high school to make up for them

[-Moo-]

23 Credits at my school, and thats for the highest diploma.

Your school is crazy if its really 50 credits.

[madmatt621]

In my school district, there is 22, 24, and 26. I did the 22 credit plan...figures..


EDIT: Do seven classes during the school year (fall and spring) and do three or four classes during the summer.

[RB_Universe]

Lets see, mine needs 44 with me getting .5 credits a class. But back to you, stop playing FFR. Seriously, get your education together cause don't expect to get any job easily or one at all if you keep ****ing up.

[fastfingers65]

FFR believes you can get enough credits.

[sarahxjane]

I only need 30 total.

And I have 15.

I was susposed to graduate high school last year.

>.>

[boondocks77]

In Ontario, a province in Canada, high schoolers need 30 creds by grade 12. Each subject counts for 1 and they all add up, as long as you don't fail, or aren't dumb.

Serious advice: Your whole entire life pretty much rides on your sophomore year, then. Don't **** it up.

Keep a record of all your scores for tests and quizzes and how much homework you do (hint: do all of it) and how your teachers grade their classes. Trust me, it'll help SO much. I know the grades for all of my classes and with a little bit of algebra, I know what I'm shooting for. It's such a useful tool. I've prioritized certain classes above others based on my current study habits and effort to maximize my grade output.*

Screw night school or summer school or that **** people are talking about. Just study. Go to the park and whip out a textbook or your homework and just study. I'd only recommend summer school if you actually wanted to skip ahead or catch up on failed classes and if your school is cool with that. Personally I'm going to hopefully take a summer course and skip chemistry--quite a few kids at my school have skipped honors bio or honors chem and are taking AP Chemistry in their sophomore year. One of the juniors said, "the class is pretty much just sophomores." It seems like skipping ahead isn't one of your priorities from how you put it. Just remember that beating the constraints of the system provided you can handle the work is integral to being successful. I'd rather get rejected trying to skip a prerequisite than wonder if I could have. It worked for one out of two classes, personally, and it didn't work for the other because I just didn't follow up on it. Probably a good thing, too. Algebra II... meh, just not something worth skipping compared to geometry or prealgebra, even though it's still not that intensive personally.

Also, ignore the people saying, "stop FFR." And I'm not saying that because I'm promoting the site. Start studying and working in school--you don't need to drop everything else out of your schedule to do that, just make school a higher priority. People have lives and get A's on everything, and a few of them aren't smart in the slightest.

But don't take it from me. Go to your guidance counselor. Talk to him/her. That's by far the best advice I could give you.

Not serious advice: Drop out.



*How it's working for me: English is so far a piece of cake minus a grammar test I just bombed (I forgot the name of what I now know to be coordinating conjunctions) (sorry Guido ;_;) and I don't need to study for that at all. Spanish and music theory are also easy. History, on the other hand, is tough as nails, and I'm just pulling a B (83) because my teacher is strict on homework grading, so I'm going to put more effort into the homework. It's halfway through the marking period. Well I did the math, and if I average 9/10 on the rest of the homeworks and maintain my high test average, that'll average out with my current 7.2 average on homeworks and I can get a B+. I know that because I'm keeping track on a folded up piece of paper in my book bag.

Of course. For my school, we need 120 credits... but most classes are 5 credits.

[Nyokou]

I need 26 or 28 for Advanced Diploma I think.. which is what I'm aiming for. :P
