Hi guys,

I've always had 90's and high 80's in school. I love biology, and math has never been a struggle for me, until i met grade 11.

first semester was great, all my courses were at the grade 11 level, most of them advanced except for french. I finished with all 90's, except for adv physics but then again, who needs physics?

When second semester started, my grades weren't too bad at the start, but near midterm, they started plummeting. (btw, we don't write midterm exams at my school, so that cant be the reason) All my courses are advanced and 3/4 at the grade 12 level. it was a struggle to juggle them all with my extracurriculars.

When my adv chem 11 mark dropped, i put my all into it, raising it up to an 81. Then my adv math 12 mark dropped. but i'm a smart math student, all my quizzes and assignments were all 90's and high 80's, but my test marks brought me down bad. I finished the course with a 73 before the exam. At the exam, i calculated the highest my exam score could be: a 77. This leaves my math mark as approximately a 74. Thats even lower than my physics mark.

Long story short, my dream is to become a pharmacist, or even a marine biologist. i'm scared university wont accept me if my math mark is this low. The only courses they usually consider, are grade 12 level courses, but i still have another year left of high school.

What can i do? do you guys think they'll accept me? do you have any advice?

My grade 12 level course marks are as follows: (tentatively, because i still have 2 exams to write)

Advanced Math 12 - 74
Advanced Bio 12 - 90
Food Science 12 - 96

Any advice will help, i'm just so stressed out

Thank you
