what kinda grades will u need to be getting to repeat year 11?
is it true that if you get less than 10% in a subject in year 11, you have to repeat the whole year?

Where I live, you're not forced to repeat, repeating a year is up to a student at a stage like this... Like some idiot in my grade did.
IMO grade 11 was worthless lol, started out the basics for your grade 12 work, yet none of what you do is in your HSC.
And besides, even if you had to repeat grade 11, it isn't worth it... I'd just leave school lol.

Where I live, you don't actually have to repeat a grade. If you fail a class (have a semester average of 70 or lower), you just don't receive credit for takng the class. There are certain credit requirements to graduate high school, so if you failed a class that was required, you either have to retake it in summer school, or the next year (assuming you even have time in your schedule the next year to retake a class. Most kids don't, so they have to make it up during summer school).

And if you got lower than a 10%, I really can't see how. It doesn't matter if you signed up for an AP course, you really shouldn't be getting a grade that low unless you're totally slacking and not doing any of your homework.

i live in Fl in my school if u fail u can go to summer school um i forgot what the program name is but if your behind credits to stay in a class for 3 hours then go to work technically u dont go straight to work but u get out of school my friend was in it he started work i think at 2pm he gets release like at 11:30 theres another program similar to this they get u a job but its volunter work u dont get back but u get credits


what credit is when u fail a class u dont get the 1.5 credit or 3.0 u didnt get when u take these programs they give it to you

oh theres also like after class i forgot whats it called um its like from 2:15-3:30 i think i kinda forgot u stay in a class just doing work of the subject u failed but the subject must be math english science and history i think.


so if u end up reapeating it your own fault becuase u get many chances to make up ( hahahahah i had to take summer school like 2 times and after school like 4 times not to repeat)
oh yea summer school was only in my school while i was there from 9 grade to 10th grade i think after that they cut it haha school was broke not sure but i think they also cut after school but the other programms stayed


my school was based on credits u need 24 to graduate um 6 to be a sophmore 15to me junior i think this is the credit scores so lets say in the year u only got 10 credits u didnt make it to 11 grade u can just do one of those programs to get your credit higher

Where i live, the universities look at your grade 11 and grade 12 marks, so if you do get a shitty mark, i would probably do it over depending if i needed the course for a university course or not

If you fail one of your courses you need in order to graduate then you obviously have to repeat the course, i have never hear anything about repeating the whole grade due to a failing mark..
