Schools Should I Retake Physics or Attend Summer School for University Admission?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the dilemma of whether to retake a physics course or attend summer school to improve a low mark of 65, especially given that the desired universities have a cutoff of 78. The participant is also taking five courses in the second semester, including English at night school, and has achieved an 80 in math. It is suggested to consult with university admissions for clarity on requirements and to determine the best course of action. The physics course in question is identified as a high school course, and the participant is currently studying Calculus, aiming for an 80 average to meet program standards.

in my first semester i had math and physics as two of my 6 courses that i need for university but apparently i have a low mark of 65 in physics and i am thinking, should i take it again or should i take summer school? if i take it again then i am going to take five courses for secodn semester including english in night school. What should i do? the universities that i want to go into have a cutoff at 78 and math i had an 80

You should probably talk to admissions at your university about this. They would know first hand what the requirements are, and what you need to complete before being admitted. (I'm assuming you are in high school).

For your physics course, was it a university course or a high school course? Did it include calculus? Finally, do you plan on actually studying physics?
 
It's a high school course and the cutoff for university that i am trying to get into is a 75 but i am trying to get an 80 average for the program that i am trying to go to. I am doing Calculus now.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
