Hello,
I’m currently a grade 12 student in Vaughan Ontario. I am taking Grade 12?University Advanced Functions. I’m currently at an 87, and am not pleased?with my mark. If I were to retake this course, what would be the?consequences?
I am interested in going into computer sciences.
Thanks.<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
whoa there<\/a>, son. an 87% is a good mark. most kids would cry for joy if they finished with an 87% in a first year math course, you know. i guess it’s like they say: you don’t?know what you’ve got ’til it’s?gone<\/a>.<\/p>\n anyway, i’m assuming by the fact that it’s June and you’re talking about retaking a high school course that you’re going to be taking a victory lap? if you do,?you should know that calculus is a requirement<\/a> for uoft comp. sci.?now?that<\/em> is the course you should be focusing on. it’s required and it’ll definitely be included in calculating your admissions average. advanced functions is less important: it won’t be included?unless it’s?in your top 6 4U marks.<\/p>\n also, the school’s not so hot about repeated courses<\/a>. so there’s really no good reason to repeat it.<\/p>\n plus, you’ve still got exams to bring your mark up! so SMASH<\/a>?that?functions exam, and finish with the mark you’re hankering after – not just for the school, but also for you. because you’re a perfectionist<\/a>.*<\/p>\n cheers,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n *to be fair, so am i. i reworded that punchline like twenty seven?times before settling on leaving it the way it was to start with, so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello,I’m currently a grade 12 student in Vaughan Ontario.
