I just finished crying over how hard im struggling with this course. my highest percentage on an assessment is 59%. I genuinely don't even know how ill pass this I should be getting ATLEAST a 85% or more idk. is anyone else struggling with it? its my least favourite class.

chem 62/70

Physics 67/70

Biology 68/70

English 80/80

Psychology 68/80

Music 30/30

Hello, everybody. I wanted to get a glimpse of some of your grades in english this year (since I'm in a Catholic school board, my english is focused exclusively on Indigenous, First Nations, and Metis stories, books, documentaries, etc.) I also took Anthro, Psych, and Soc (one course) this semester, and for some reason my grade there is like a 95. I put in the same work and effort, but in english however, my grade is barely hovering over a 70., and the work isn't even that hard. How much do grades depend on teachers, and why tf am I getting a 70 when all my other subjects are in the 90s

Hey y’all this post is lowk useless so if you ignore me #fairs but. I’ve never cried over a subject before and gr11 physics almost got me there. I just got my first test back and i failed and i’ve never failed a test in my entire life. It’s ridiculous cause i got one of the highest grades for the quest but the test fucked me over so bad. I don’t even wanna get up. I’m sick

Has anyone started the unit after kinematics? Lmk if it gets easier cause whew shit. I need tips for balancing school and my social life cause i can’t find a balance anymore. I’ve fully delved into my studies out of stress and i’m not even excited for halloweekend anymore cause i could only think about my work 💔

grade inflation bro

I have physics, Chemistry and Biology this year and it’s too late to drop anything. I’m struggling and I’m always stressed and no matter how much I study it’s never enough. I’m worried at this rate I’m going to fail grade 11 and I have no idea what to do.

no because how do I study for university chemistry and actually make it stick and understand it…
I fear it has not been clicking for me at all and I really need advice before my unit test and labs next week.
Like the material is making no sense or I can understand while my teacher is teaching but the second I do it on my own…YIKES.
if u can help much appreciated tysm in advance :)

ive cried over the mere thought of doing my assignments about 2 or 3 times already and while my grades are good rn (my average is a 94) ive never been so stressed and miserable. even my weekends are less enjoyable as i always have an assignment or test hanging over my head. and im not even taking any sciences!!!! any tips on how to manage it better and be happier?

I'm in Gr10 and I want to learn about about Gr11 functions for next year. I know some Gr10s that are taking Gr11 Functions this year and they're not doing so hot. But I find that math this year is miserably easy, and it's basically the only important thing I excel in. All the videos I find are quick and complex. So I was just wondering if somebody knew like a website or YouTuber that breaks it down. For someone who has never seen it before.

And is there any other good math course I should consider for next year?

What does Growth Trend marking mean? Usually my teachers always just piled assessments on assessments and averaged them. Does it mean that the later term's grades matter the most regardless if you got 100s at the beginning?

He said that if you start at the 50s 1st semester and slowly mkae your way to the 80s towards the end, that would be your final mark, which sounds off putting.

Anyways I am just rambling, do any of your teachers mark in this way?

hey everyone! i'm currently in grade 11 and i was talking to a new friend i made who's in grade 12. we started talking about school and she asked me what my second semester schedule looks like.

i told her i'm taking:

• Functions (MCR3U)
• Physics (SPH3U)
• World Religions (HRF3O)
• Grade 12 Chemistry (SCH4U)

she immediately told me that my semester is going to be really hard and that i'll probably end up with a low mark in grade 12 chem because of my other courses. she also told me that i should switch it out ASAP.

now i'm honestly kinda stressed and second guessing my schedule 😭

do you guys agree with her? is taking grade 12 chem alongside functions and physics actually that bad, or do you think it's manageable if i stay on top of my work?

i'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's taken these courses, especially if you've taken grade 12 chem early. should i switch it out or just stick with it?

How do I know which one to pick? Do I wait for next year? Also is there a limited amount of spots?

Im 08 (just started uni) and simply taking 2 grade 12 courses in my grade 11 year caused me from having an easier work load (gr 12), get into good programs, and allowed me to have more opportunity to raise my top 6.

I believe in total I took 9 4U courses so chem and other courses were factored out, thus making my average really competitive.

I would suggest taking electives or any course that has a good teacher.

Hi all, I'm currently in Grade 11 Physics but I'm enrolled in Night School. I'm just a bit worried on how to go about with this as I need Grade 12 Physics for my program. Any advice is appreciated!

I have recently applied to, and succesfully become an exec in 14 clubs.

How do I balance this with being in Grade 11, which I am struggling with so far?

How do I go to all meetings when 5 of the clubs have meetings om Wednesdays?

It's just so hard rn

I’m a Grade 11 student, and I run a student-led university podcast. I’ve been interviewing uni students + people around the university process. Two of my recent conversations have completely changed how I’m thinking about Grade 12.

A few things that stood out:

- “How do I stand out?” might be the worst starting question. Before worrying about having the perfect EC list, get to know the academic/supplementary requirements and get the basics right.

- Don’t compare schools purely by program name or ranking. Look at things like course structure, research/co-op opportunities, student life, location, support systems, etc.

- You can ask university recruiters way more than admissions-cutoff questions. Residence, food, support for specific communities, class structure, campus life. Literally all the things that will affect your four years there.

- Start looking at scholarships earlier than you think. There are opportunities beyond the massive national awards, and waiting until the end of Grade 12 makes the search way harder.

- From my scholarship episode, one of my biggest takeaways was how much reflection/storytelling matters alongside the accomplishments, especially when you’re applying for major awards. Ifechi, the Loran & Wolf scholar recipient, mentioned that she chose to put some of her less prestigious ECs because she was more passionate about them.

Full disclosure: these came from interviews I did for my podcast, The Uni Insider.

So, my schedule next semester is really heavy (especially compared to my first semester). I have chemistry, functions, robotics tech, and physics. I tried to get guidance to balance the load earlier this year but they wouldn't do it. With that being said, I was really hoping for some advice for next semester. As much as I want to get mid-high 90's in all the classes, idk if its gonna be possible to keep up. Pls let me know if you guys have tips or advice on what to do next semester so I can manage the course load

Hi everyone, in July 2026 I took summer school but was late to alternate course selection. As a result, I couldn't take bio, chem, or physics due to capacity (I know). My guidance counsellor supposed that, according to my consistent grades, participation effort, and ambitions as a student, that I could take gr 11 functions.

Now that I'm in my 1st semester of gr 10, I don't know how to feel. MCR3U is next sem. Right now, guidance is not taking any course change requests for the life sciences. I was never proficient at math (highest 90% while lacking specific skills/poor retrieval). I will not be able to have a tutor either.

Grade 11s who know functions, or who do now that didn't before: share your wisdom.

P.S. I know from other peers that my teacher, who also teaches gr 10 math, can be "stern/difficult" with functions expectations. Not too important, don't know if it helps though.

It doesn't matter how much I study, it seems like I can't get anything higher then the high 80s. I'm not tryna sound ungrateful or anything, but it always irks me that that's my max.

I do everything I should be. I do the homework. I ask for help. I study consistently.

if ur grades are in the 90s range and uve faced a similar problem, how did u do it? How do I break out of this limitation?

Please if some one has them send me or if you know where I can find some, I need them to practice

Well what is it, 4 weeks? Grade 11 has been a breeze but everyone says it’s a huge spike. I was an 80s student in grade 9/10 and continuing this. My semester is gym, spare, bio, chem. Bio i’ve got 80s on my first project and unit test. Chem i’ve got a 90 on my first nomenclature quiz and waiting on lab report results. It’s all been so easy so far im just genuinely curious if it picks up in these courses

As the title says, I’m currently taking MCR3U and I’m struggling. I’ve never really had a problem with math before. I did very well in Grade 10 with a high 90, so this has been really frustrating.
No matter how much I study, I keep getting Level 3s. I even got a Level 1 on one part of a test. I do my homework, review every night, and practise questions. I usually feel confident going into tests and genuinely feel like I understand the concepts.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m starting to worry because I’m in Grade 11 and I want to keep my math and science marks high for university. I’ve never experienced this with math before, so it’s been hard not to get discouraged.
Has anyone else experienced this? What helped you improve your test marks?

Please Im failing chemistry.how do people study.

Hello I’m taking SBI3U and I really interested in and like it but the problem that I don’t know why o do wrong I solve homework and watch videos but I still don’t like my marks 🥲
How should I study for bio
