For more information about how AP coursework can work to your advantage in college, check out our guide here. If you plan to pursue college credit for your high school AP classes, you might choose to continue with them despite a lower than average grade at the end.
It could be worth a slightly lower than average grade if you think you will be able to pull off a solid performance on the AP test at the end of the semester, though you will need to make sure that your target schools will accept your scores. Though dropping a higher-level class may end up being the right decision for you, it does not have to be your only option. Many schools will provide tutoring, extra credit, or alternative coursework if you find yourself in over your head.
Communicate clearly with your teachers about your goals for the course and any concerns that arise during it. Most teachers will appreciate your effort and may be willing to work with you should you experience challenges during the semester.
Also think about how you can avoid this situation in the future. Consult with teachers, friends or advisers before course registration to discuss your ideas. Think about which classes will best fit your academic profile, consider core requirements and future prerequisites, and recognize your personal interests, strengths, and goals. High school is the time to plan a course load that highlights your abilities. Make sure that you discuss your plans and weigh the pros and cons carefully with a trusted teacher or adviser before you make your final choice.

She also gives huge grade bonuses to students who elect to participate in exchanges and trips to spanish-speaking countries, ignoring that money can be a major preventive issue. I think my Spanish is actually getting worse. My teacher is notorious for switching between Italian and Spanish while teaching. First MP is almost over and I didn't have a single test, so now I'm extremely nervous that I'll fail the 1st one because there is so much information.
I had to admit, I used sparknotes sparingly, but I definitely did not plagarize. But, she had highlighted 3 or 4 sentences in my packet and gave me a big fat 0. I tried to stay in the class, but she was notorious for giving even more F's. You could put all your effort into any essay, and she would automatically give you an F.
