And i'd say you're better off doing Legal definitely, I'm sure Health is a subject in which you could skip 1/2 and still do fine, the other ones are better off with 1/2 experience

my school doesnt even offer 1/2 health but the 3/4 cause they think it is just irrelevant

I'm also sure, you can do Legal 3/4 without 1/2, as a friend of mines did that , and she still did exceptionally well.
Sure you can do it, but you're much better off having done the 1/2 for Legal than you are having done 1/2 for Health.
sometimes I feel as if I'd be more enriched in life if I bought an RV and started cooking meth

I presume OP likes the subjects, but wants to do 1/2 GM as well to meet course reqs

if you aint going to do Business for 3/4 why bother doing it for 1/2?? is it needed for uni? if not, then drop it.

I take it Texts is a must do at your school? If not, drop it.

If you know what you want to do for uni, then do what you need for pre reqs, and do what you have to due to compulsory subjects at your school... all others forget them.

nat pol = 42+
international studies = 30+
Engrish = 30+
Legal studies = who cares

Big mistake. Don't do extra subjects (that you won't complete the sequence for) if you KNOW in advance, that you won't be. If you were doing subjects with the intention of actually completing them, but at the end of the year you changed your mind, that would be fine. But since you know you won't be finishing the 3&4s of those subjects, it'll be a big waste of your time.
School policy forces me to take GMA 1/2...even though 'i know in advance' I'm not going to be taking Spesh...

What? They'd only force you to do Methods if you were doing GMA 1/2, not the other way around, sounds suss

And i'd say you're better off doing Legal definitely, I'm sure Health is a subject in which you could skip 1/2 and still do fine, the other ones are better off with 1/2 experience

I meant they won't let me do GMS (further) 1/2 - I have to take GMA 1/2 (alongside Methods obviously...)

Well you could use my method, completely neglect all your 1/2s and only study for your 3/4's. Your perfect 3/4 study score will compensate your guilty conscience over your mediocre 1/2 grades

Or I can try an maintain my 'never failed'. If I don't try with GMA 1/2 (with my russian teacher...) I will fail - no questions asked.

Let's be harsh but honest, I don't think it worked incredibly well for you.

+1, and if you fail your 3/4 subject, your probably gonna have an avalanche effect from there with your mediocre 1/2s

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle
