I hate exam time-.-. It's so stressful. The only exam I’m really worried about is my chemistry. I suck at it (mainly because I slack off and don’t work at it). Ironically I decided to put gr. 12 chemistry in space of my spare next semester so that way I can have a spare in grade 12. So now my schedule for next semester goes:

 

Period 1 (9:30-10:50am): Grade 11 advanced placement math

Period 2 (10:55am-12:10pm): Gr. 1116th century College/University History (they didn't have university level...only the college/university)

~LUNCH~ (which counts as period 3 at my school)

Period 4 (12:55-2:10pm)- Gr. 12 University Chemistry

Period 5 (2:15-3:30pm): Gr. 11 University English

 

Incase you don’t understand what I mean my advanced placement, university, or college/university, I'll do a run-down for yee.

 

In my school, from grades 9-10, this is the "ranking" of classes.

 

Advanced placement-for "higher learning"-I believe it is only offered for math and English

 

Academic-For people who can do well with "theory" work and don't need as much assistance or hands-on learning 

 

Applied-For people who thrive with hands-on learning. Apparently less homework than with academic (so I’ve heard).

 

Open- A type of class which all kinds of students can thrive at (meaning "essential" kids to "advanced placement" kids). The only classes which are "open" are "tech" classes or "arts" classes.

 

Essential- People who have trouble with more complex stuff, and won't be going into college/university after high school (meaning straight into apprenticeship or workplace). I believe only math and English is offered.

 

University and all that comes into play in grade 11-12. "Academic" is replaced with "university", "applied" is replaced with "college", "essential" is replaced with "workplace", and the university/college choice is offered in certain courses. Other than that, it’s the same. University means the same as applied, they only call it "university" because generally someone taking a university course will be going into university after high school. (There are also open classes for grade 11 and 12s. Its still called "open").

 

So ya. Thought I’d procrastinate some more. *Sigh*.
