Get Ahead In High school?

Question

Im a smart kid if I put my mind to it, and I really want to get ahead in high school, like im middle school ( i just graduated) I got a 90 perccent, though now in high school i REALLY want to get ahead,and still have extra time.... is this too much to ask my self to do? and what can i do to try?

Answer 1

Try your best in high school.  Colleges do look at more things than just grades though.  Try to join some interesting clubs or organizations at your school, maybe play a sport.  Also try to do some volunteer work.  Everything you do outside of school, you should have an interest in.  Don't do something just because it'll look good on a college application.  You'll have much more fun, and get much more out of the experience if it's something you like and care about.

Answer 2

talk to your teacher or the school district about it

Answer 3

Get book like Homework helpers.. they look like this (see attached) but there is more than just one. Take it from someone who has skipped a grade ( I did it in 9th grade so you aren't too late don't worry) and these books helped a lot. I learned everything I needed to know during he summer before I got there (because I chose my classes) and eventually I skipped a grade. The hardest part was not slacking off once I got there. Once you do you really have to stay with it. Not because it was hard but being a grade ahead.. they really watch you to see if you are up to the challenge. I hope this helps. We need smarter people in this world.

Warning: Books aren't everything though. You need street smarts too and it all starts with a little common sense. alright? ;]

Answer 5

you should try :)

Answer 6

Well you can take as many classes as you can squeeze into your day: a solution that fit me perfectly until my senior year.  During my senior year, I ended up with a total of 10 classes, four of them were AP classes, and one of those AP classes was way early in the morning.  I was completely overwhelmed and way more stressed than a high schooler should ever be.  I barely got any sleep and was grumpy to everyone I saw.  My grades were pretty good, but if I had the chance, I would never do that again.  Taking advantage of the classes your school offers is great, but find and know your limits.  Don't stretch yourself too thin.
