Pacing
Self-discipline is a characteristic of a successful online learner. You should schedule time to study each day. Put the study time in a calendar, and work 4-6 days per week, for 90 minutes to 120 minutes. See the pacing chart for your course.

Grades
Final Exam grades will be reported to parents, middle schools, and you. The grades will not appear on any transcript or official school record. Schools will use them for placement for next year, so excellent learning is expected. Grades will indicate what you have learned during the summer session.
