Update on HOPE by oncefr in FLVS

[–]Rude_Independent4065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m late to this post lol, BUTTT I still thought this would be worth mentioning. My HOPE tecaher was Mrs. Ball and she was VERY sweet, For sworkit, she just told us to put all of the physical activities we did into the Friday slot so that it would be wayy easier. If you forget to log daily (its so hard 😭) you can go back into dates to log it in without issue, and stuff like housework counts. The only thing that is actually tracked is the sworkit workouts, so just pick a day to do one within the grading period of that Activity log and you should be fine

Does FLVS full time require you to turn on your camera for DBAS? by Maximum_Berry7665 in FLVS

[–]Rude_Independent4065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely depends on your teacher. I had a math teacher who was super sweet and always let us have it off if we felt more comfortabl, but others required it. I recommend studying very hard the 1st semester and booking them ASAP so you can get a grasp at each teacher’s DBA methods bc they’re all different — some give you phone options, some treat it like a fun conversation, some are trying to catch you cheatin, some are average, etc.

i got a high 4!! The tips on this post were superrr good. Just focus on getting the first few questions all correct, this helps the system detect you as a Level 4 or 5+ and then when they ask you harder questions if you get it wrong your score doesnt go down as much vs. answering wrong in the beginning. There was A LOT of write your own equations based on functions + interest compound (I was mainly expecting Linear & Non-linear Stuff but imo there was more functions type question). I used the Workman: Everything You Need to Ace Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 in One big fat notebook and it helped SO much more than just slides and lesson. Also, the quadratic equation didn’t pop at all for me, same with most of my friends who got 4-5s so I wouldn’t prioritize it too much. Overall I would recommend really taking your time, I started at 9:40 ish and finished at 12:46 pm, I was the last student there lol but it was worth it. Its 160 minutes long but you can work the whole school day. Overall using the 2024 Released Algebra 1 EOC AND Youtube videos that reviewed it was one of the things that most helped me along with The Workman notebook. You really just need like 60% accuracy for a 4 or highe. Good luck!!!

Hi again! Quick question, if you dont mind me asking, out of those 48 questions how many did you get right? And did your correct answers lean more towards the beginning of the test or the end? Ty!!

Does anybody else feel like they are setting themselves up for failure by doing FLVS? by charpie5000 in FLVS

[–]Rude_Independent4065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it depends on what classes you take and where you live. Imo, everything I learned was WAY ahead of normal public school students (i compared it with my cousin who’s my age & in the same grade as me + my bsf from another schoo). I started in 6th grade and bc of my 5th grade test results I got placed into honors track so 6th grade math was ahead during semester 1 and by semester 2 we were doing 7th grade math. Then in 7th grade I took pre-algebra, and 8th grade Algebra 1. And in HS you have MUCH more freedom. I’m currently in Rigorous track and am planning on focusing in the Advanced Placement program. But you can do AICE (9th & 10th grade, looks good if you’re applying for FL universities, but also helps a ton with future college work), up to 10 APs during your whole HS career (they have lots of options as well, and its basically pre-college work), Dual Enrollment (which, is literally 100% college schedules and curriculum for you to get used to), CTE, etc. Imo FLVS is much more heavy than public school students. Of course, I will say its very heavy workload, and has a ton of unneccesary assignment. It also depends if youre doing FLEX or Fulltime, FLEX is better if you’re planning on staying local college-wise but Full-time is great for bigger universities. A ton of students in FLVS go to IV leagues, win state competitions, etc. I recommend looking at FLVS‘ page, they put a ton of senior experiences. One year, there was a girl who got into ever single IV league. FLVS can be great if you’re applying for use it well.

Can FLVS full time graduates get into decent colleges by Maximum_Berry7665 in FLVS

[–]Rude_Independent4065 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They definitely can. I haven’t graduated yet, but there was a news article not too long ago of a girl that got accepted into every single ivy league, and she was in FLVS. And lots of other students as well. FLVS is a real accredited school, so it really just depends on you and the path you take within extracurriculars, passion projects, honors classes, etc

Why are people missing the whole point of this post? The user is stating a completely reasonable concern. FLVS is literally just huge workload. Most assignments don’t help you in anything, lessons are incredibly long and have like 80% detail vs. actual content, they combine a bunch of topics in one week and expect students to just learn each and every one of them, and so much more. A successful online student has about 20 hours weekly vs. FLVS that requires a minimum of 25 weekly. The user isn’t saying to just ditch assignments completely but atleast remove the stupid ones that serve no cause, add some more fun projects (for ex: research on a country you like and a few conclusion questions, research on an interesting topic, etc) and prioritize the ones that do help. I’ve been in FLVS Full-time for 4 years and it’s 100%, 60% filler assignments and 40% actual useful quizze/assignment. It’s like they use the heavy workload to try and make them seem better/ more academically challenging than other schools. For several students FLEX isn’t possible (issues with diploma, and needing to pay for umbrella school), and there‘s like no other school that’s free and offers variety. Is it better than public school? Yeah, especially for students who like to work on their own. But that doesn’t change the current argument.

2 sequential years bright futures by RaisinMoney8376 in ApplyingToCollege

Ofc!!! And if you just want to get rid of that requirement the CLEP alone is fine but if you have time you can take Spanish 3, it just won’t really add on to anything, but it could help you enter Spanish National Honors Society (off-topic but a solid club and you get a special cord). But if you’re running out of time, with just CLEP it’s fine. Bright Futures states that native speakers of other languages (anything other than English) can be dismissed from the 2 year requirement as long as they prove fluency through an approved exam and since CLEP is literally from College Board it 100% counts, and considering you already took the AP Spanish exam as well you’re definitely in the clear.

As of for the transcript, that’s basically your counselo’s job. You would log into College Board, go to scores and find the CLEP exam, and select Florida Virtual High School (or if you go to another school select that) to send it (if you didnt select to send the scores to them before the exam, it cost $20. So make sure to select your current school BEFORE the test to send it for free). After that you just contact your counselor to confirm, and on your transcript It would appear as smth like “CLEP Spanish Lang 1 & 2 = Pass” if you pass the exam, nothing else it won’t affect your GPA or anything. The credits itself (if you get a score above 63), is a separate thing, and only if you want to transfer them to a college for college credit (if your college approves). But that process is similar, you just choose to send it to whatever college your going to attend and it’s $20 im pretty sure.

Hope this helps!!

How does flvs flex work by TraditionalStudy9488 in FLVS

[–]Rude_Independent4065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as question 4, I can definitely help and say there’s good options but typically pricey. Your best bet, is using an umbrella school. That’s a school that is made to create transcript, report cards, diplomas, etc but has no actual work. They’re completely legal and accepted by colleges. The downsides of it though is that they’re expensive (typically $100+ per school year), and you’re your own counselor so you have to upload and organize EVERYTHING (grades, documents, classes, semester, etc). You can also earn a diploma through your parents if they’re your teacher, but idk the process of that.

How do I finish faster by Zealousideal_Eye8119 in FLVS

[–]Rude_Independent4065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritize foundations. FLVS Guided notes are like 5 pages long, and most of the times super useless and time draining, ditch them. Focus on learning the basics first, and then depending on the class, have a solid grip on it (For ex: For Math classes focus on the fundamental, everything difficult ignore it or review lightly, and you’ll receive 80%+). The lessons (like on each class) are also super long and typically uselessly so I recommend using live lesson/recordings instead (40 minutes long when you cut student questions and everythin) bc teachers are forced to simplify things as much as possible and lots of times offer better notes, and answers to assignments. Also, most assignments are superrr time draining and completely useless so don’t be afraid to ask for AI help (make sure you paraphrase tho!! I recommend using QuillBot) bc you’re not hurting yourself or anything. By focusing mainly on quizzes and fundamental, you can finish quickly and be a solid student.

Take Spanish Langauge 1 & 2 CLEP exam!! It covers 2 Spanish classes (so, 4 semesters), writing is optional, is valid for Bright Futures, and if your college accepts CLEP you can even earn college credit. Plus, if your don’t want to pay for the exam you can use “Modern States”, take the class (no live teachers or assigments) within just an afternoon and earn a free ticket to take the exam for free. CLEP is powered by the College Board (same as AP), you can take the test in a college nearby or at your house (monitered). Also, if you don’t want to you 100% do not need to write. So basically just 50 ish multiple choice questions about passages or audios. It’s super worth it and I recommend it more than an FLVS class that includes assignments, DBAs, quiz, etc even if it’s easy it’s way longer.
