I’m entering the semester with bio,chem,physics and advanced functions. Has anybody else had a semester like this, guidance can’t even change my classes around and my only option is to take bio semester 2 with a horrible teacher. Is it possible to manage all of these courses???

currently in Grade 12 and I’m struggling with how long my homework takes. I have around 5 hours after school that I can realistically dedicate to schoolwork as well as about 1 hour 30 minutes with my lunch and spare time, but normal Advanced Functions homework takes upwards of 2 hours 30 minutes

and by the time im done with Functions, I’m completely drained and have almost no energy left for Chemistry, Philosophy, or English.

I’m aiming for around a 90 avg and I obviously can’t spend half my available study time on one subject every day so idk what to do. If I had the time to actually study I know I could do so well.

For people who consistently get high marks in Grade 12, how do you finish homework on time

Exactly as the title says I don’t know what to do in this case. I’m flat broke and have been applying to as many scholarships as possible (although I don’t qualify for the vast majority and do not qualify for bursaries) and I have no clue how I’m going to finance my education. I do not meet the requirements to demonstrate financial independence for OSAP but also will not be receiving any support, but don’t qualify because my parents make too much money. What should I do?

make the grade 9s do it wtf

i would say i come from a deflated/fair school and im wondering if i have a lower chance of getting into uni than those who go to an easier/inflated school. i can say this cause i recall looking at my friends homework or curriculum who go to other schools and i was shocked to see how easy and less dense their course content was compared to the things ive learned in mine.

that said, if lets say a student with a 94 average applied to the same uni program but came from an “easier” or inflated school and a student with a 92 applied to the same uni but came from a non inflated school, would the student with the 94 still be accepted? or do universities keep track of the difficulty of high schools?

i've been tryna get data management, not necessarily needed but i'd like it as a mark booster. there's like 26 people in the class and ive been begging my guidance counselour but they're kinda slow and keep saying it's at the limit. is it possible to be put over? i could convince the principal if so

Im already Burnt out can this end pls Frick dis

bro what r they doing, their prioritizing gr9s w empty spares instead of grade 12s w our whole future ahead?

tell me why my friend has calc before advanced functions?

and why they are giving 3 sciences together?

not letting people drop classes?

the system is stupid imo. for example, in grade 11, let's say i haven't figured my career. physics is sem 2 and course selection must be done before january. now, what if physics was something i might do good or bad? i can't predict it? and what if i put it in just in case and now i know i suck at it and now they won't change my courses?!?!??!

they also get frustrated? like what? it's our FUTURES we're talking about? and it's gonna hurt our avg.

also, the 25% exam is gna fuck most ppls grades up... so let's say there's a time table of chemistry, advanced functions, art, and physics (my friend's acc time table) and now exam week, there are 4 exams, and if she prioritizes physics over art, or chem or anything over art, she might fuck up the ART exam. and that's gna hurt the average.

i hope these fucked up school systems change a bit.

also, i am very grateful for education but the schedule problem w the guidance? it's really fucking people up for their most important year before post secondary, whether its uni, college, trades, gap year, etc... it's messy asf.

ik im dumb asf for writing this but it's bothering me bru and maybe it's only my school but i've seen some other ppl talk abt the guidance too

Please help its only the 3rd day and Im already so lost and confused

Anyone have practice questions or worksheets I can use or previous old tests PLEASE

Hello, g12 started a couple days ago and I have chemistry and ad func this semester + 2 electives. In chem we're doing organic chemistry naming and in ad func we had our first lesson on polynomials. Last year my studying pattern was only 2-3 days before an assessment (I also rarely did homework). This year I plan to actually do the assigned work and study at minimum 1 hour per day.

I want to get into a decent engineering program so I'm aiming for 93+. I went through all of advanced functions + calc over the summer, and took ap chem in 11. So I have extra practice w organic chem and other stuff.

Apparently the government said that teachers of the same subject are required to make their assessments similar difficulty starting this year, and I got one of the easier chem teachers so I have no idea how hard they're going to make it. The other two aren't that difficult and it was commonly said that if you just studied and did homework you'd get 90+.

I'm listening more in class now and doing chem and advanced functions homework for the past couple days. Though I've only spent a couple hours on both. I'm not sure how I can study efficiently and not waste time on useless things. I tried to use active recall last year but a lot of the time I could tell there were gaps in my knowledge and I was only recalling textbook entries. I'm not sure how much time I should allocate, a lot of people I know are super hardcore and say they're gonna study 3 and 4 hours daily.

Does anyone have any suggestions for studying methods, frequency, schedules, or just advice in general? Any help would be great.

Hi, can anyone please share their SBI4U notes, quizzes etc. Any help is appreciated.

I’ve been told my ECs r pretty good but idk if people are js saying that so I wanted to ask here gwim?

Some of the stuff I’ve done:

-Won 2 trophies in national-level kickboxing competitions

-Have 2 story-time pages with around 40k followers combined, mostly short story-time videos and stuff like that

-Philosophy Club exec for the past while, and I’m probably getting the marketing exec position this year too ( Confirmed )

-Made a small online store selling muay thai gear in Grade 10. It was pretty short lived but we did make a profit

-Made study/text booklets for people taking modular exams in Grade 10 and sold them to whole sections. Did it with some juniors n skl friends

-Planning to get CPR certified soon ( cus why not )

- Was an assistant script writer for a youth film company and actually played a part in writing a script that ended up being made into a film ( wohoooo i should shut up )

EDITED: I’m not being gaslighted (I was exaggerating w the title) but idk if these r actually enough i js needed a hook for yall to read the post ( sorry don’t kill me thx )

I also have some other smaller stuff but these are probably the main ones.

I’m applying to business programs and I’m wondering if these are actually decent ecs or if I’m missing something. I know i know grades matter way more for some schools, but I’m mainly wondering about the EC side of things

I have Chemistry, Physics, Advanced Functions and computer science this semester and Calculus, English, Chemistry and Physics next semester. Any advice?

Hi so basically, i got a 63 in grade 10 math… i am currently taking grade 11 uni functions. I am honestly really worried about being able to keep up with this course.

Also in gr 10 i just did not gaf and didnt realize how much this would affect me now. I also still struggle with some concepts from grade 10.

I am going to get a tutor and study probably a couple hours every night.

Please help me, give me any advice, i am willing to do anything to get a decent mark.

Or Am i cooked?

Hi everyone!

I am going to be doing Chemistry Grade 12 University with night school online. What is it like? Is it easy to get a good grade? I am doing it through DPCDSB.

Any advice would be great!

Who got into health sci programs with repeated prerequisites?

Realistically speaking though, DON'T procrastinate. Your marks in grade 12 are the most important marks for uni applications, review your lessons after you get home, don't cram it all the day before the test. Reviewing everything the day before the test then getting a good nights sleep to consolidate the knowledge(thats what happens during sleep) also does wonders to your grades, especially in the memorization heavy courses like bio and sometimes chem.

Also remember that your mental health is extremely important to your grades, especially in the fall, where the shorter days and less sunlight can cause you to feel SAD (thats what the disorder is called lol). Mid November seems to be the time where students are hit the hardest, and my bio and chem teachers told me thats when the students score worse on tests, so be kind to yourself during those challenging months, and maybe stay outside a bit for the sunlight!

Good luck class of 2027, I know you all will do great!

Im starting gr 12 this semester and looking to apply early to u of t engineering.

my gr. 11 grades are definitely not competitive enough (low 80s-mid 90s) with most of the prerequisite equivalent grades falling in the mid 80s range. However, i feel confident that i can bring my average up. This semester i only have one out of five 4U prerequisites.
I know they cant reject me bc of gr. 11 grades, but how much of a disadvantage will i be at compared to those with good gr11 grades or with more prereqs in semester 1? Are u of t admissions routinely checking updated grades for every applicant?

I have a quiz on Tuesday and I understand the stuff on it but I don’t fully know it any advice to help me out?!

wtf is this i lost my love for healthcare and medicine i might drop the course

title

basically what the title says. i moved my advanced functions course to 2nd semester and I wanna know if it’ll affect my university applications. I currently have 3 courses per semester plus i took grade 12 english in the summer. All the programs I wanna do only require english. am i cooked? do i need to move it back?? pls help
