it's because i'm getting bad grades.. especially in my geometry class. i have a D and it's difficult for me to raise it up because i'm totally behind in the class. i'm going to summer school also for algebra since my geo teacher recommended it to prepare me for algebra 2 next year. oh and is physics hard?

i mean it's not like its the most important year but me and many of my friends ( we are juniors) are really disoppinted with our grades in freshmen year because it is SO hard to rise the G.P.A once it is low but just try hard to do really good in your sophmore year, you will be fine. and i think physics is kind hard but if you pay attention in class, things isnt that bad at all. Gooddd luck!

Most colleges will ask for all four years of grades. So you'll need to pull them up fast now. And yes, physics will be hard if you don't have a good grasp of algebra and geometry - most physics classes don't make much sense until you've had calculus. Good luck.

Yes, freshmen year does count. However, it is not weighed as heavily as sophomore and junior year. You also need to do well in your classes freshman year to be able to build up to higher classes later on.
Regular physics isn't too bad. It's pretty logical. AP Physics definitely takes more work though. You might need some Alg. II for physics, depending how far your teacher goes.

every year "counts". every college will see your grades all the way from freshman year and it's so hard to come up once you've fallen behind, especially in high school. physics isn't that hard if you have a strong foundation of algebra and the ability to put word problems into equations.

The grades you earn this year will count towards your cumulative GPA which includes all four years of high school. So, yes, it does count. However, colleges will look at upward trends. Many students have problems adjusting their freshman year. Improve your study habits, catch up on your math skills over the summer and set your priorities before returning for your sophomore year.

definite, they count extensive kind freshman year, yet oftentimes, sophomore and junior year are extra significant in case you have shown progression, because of the fact colleges understand that this is complicated to settle into intense college, and which you do no longer at present understand the cost of having good grades or doing all your ultimate

you need to a firm foundation in order to build up from there....the basics to you learn in algebra 1 and geometry will help you to understand higher maths such as algebra 2, calculus, and trig......my grades in geometry were lousy as well.....not to mention darth vader sat like 3 seats down my row from me

absolutely.
when you apply to colleges, they look at your high school average over the 4 years, not just the semester average. It's important to keep your grades up throughout your high school career.
