    Is a B6 still achievable in this case?

    Well, I got 68% for my trials for Business Studies. I got that because I did not prepare enough. I'm ranked second internally at a poorly ranked school (460-500), and there have been times I've performed really well in Business. Can I still get a B6?

    Filed complaint against teachers.

    I filed a complaint against a few teachers because of their methods (read and highlight). However, even though I asked to remain anonymous I'm worried that they'll find out and hence mark me harshly. The thing is I want to come first in these subjects and if they find out I complained they will...

    Filed a complaint against a few teachers today

    I filed a complaint because I'm sick of their teaching methods (read and highlight). However, I asked to remain anonymous and I'm still worried if they find out because I really want to come first in those subjects but if they find out I filed a complaint it seems like they'll be really mean and...

    Is there still time?

    I just got my rankings for some of my subjects. Most were great but there was one that really bothered me. To start off with my school is ranked terribly 400-500. In Ancient History I'm sitting on 7/14 and have already completed 50% of my assessments. I have another which is worth 25% and of...

    Thinking about taking 10 units as oppose to 12

    Well, I do many subjects that have a lot of content (Modern, Ancient, Business, probably even SOR II, and English Advanced). I'm probably performing the worst in Modern. However, my teacher does have hope in me and I know I really can improve. It was just because I didn't finish my half-yearly...

    Should I do this?

    Ironically, he is the head of the humanities department - so he's in charge of the histories

    Should I do this?

    A while ago, I asked about changing electives for Modern History (Conflict in Indochina to Conflict in Europe). Now, my Modern History teacher is just lazy - he reads from the textbook and we just highlight as we go on. Anyone can do this. I have a tutor for Modern History, who is way better...

    Should I make the switch?

    Dropping to 10 units, safe move?

    Well, I just don't enjoy the class, I don't find the subject interesting, I can use the time to study for other subjects (which I'm doing well in), I'm not doing too well at it, but is it safe to drop to 10 units?

    Well, I'm dropping the subject tomorrow but the exam is also tomorrow, I let my year adviser know and he said I can drop it but I still have to sit the exam, should I study for it?

    Does doing bad in your Half-yearly exams rid your chances of a Band 6?

    What if you did bad (not fail) in an exam (worth 20%), and also did bad in past assessments worth 15%, are your B6 chances gone? When are ones band 6 chances gone? By the way when I say bad, I mean just pass (not a fail).
