I mest up real bad my freshmen year, I took general sciene which doesn't help me get into university. Now I'm a sophomore and I just started taking Biology, how embarassing. Any advice on how I could catch up? Also, does anyone know if health counts for the A-G? I took health freshemn year.

Sorry, my grammar is shxt.
If you have Biology, Chemistry, and Physics by the time you graduate -- and with high grades -- won't that do it? Talk to your school counselor to be sure.
Talk to your school counselor. How many units of science does your chosen university require? It may vary from school to school.
Your spelling and grammar are also atrocious, certainly not up to college-level work.
OK, you last year "messed up". I assume that means you flunked most of your courses. Now you are in your sophmore year of HS, and you want to get with it. What I suggest is you find out what is going on. Did you and parents have a conference last year with your teachers/principal to figure out what the issues were: it could have been a number of things, your efforts, your ability to pay attention (ADDH), your lack of preparation before you went to HS.
If you did not attend such a conference, goodness. Go to your counselor and ask her to review your academic record, and discuss your appitude and class habits with PRIOR teachers, then call you in, with parent, to make a plan.
I suspect you are going to need a lot of tutoring, in most everything: critical reading, math, taking notes, study skills, vocab, grammar, the works.
So I am suggesting you need to have professional help in analyzing your strengths, weaknesses, habits, your ability. Do this and you can start perhaps to change your life.
It is never too late, unless you are a quitter, then anytime is too late.
Don't worry, it's never too late to catch up and improve your academic standing! Here's some advice on how you can catch up in Biology and strengthen your college application:
1. Take charge of your learning: Actively engage in your Biology class and make an effort to understand the concepts. Take detailed notes, ask questions, and participate in class discussions.
2. Seek additional resources: Take advantage of online resources, textbooks, and educational websites that cover Biology topics. This can help reinforce your understanding and fill in any gaps in your knowledge from your freshmen year.
3. Form study groups: Collaborate with classmates who are excelling in Biology. Discuss concepts, share study materials, and collectively work through challenging problems. This can provide additional support and motivation.
4. Meet with your teacher: Schedule a meeting with your Biology teacher to discuss your situation and seek guidance on catching up. They may be able to provide extra resources, recommend study strategies, or even suggest tutoring options.
Regarding the A-G requirements for university admissions, it's important to note that requirements may vary depending on the specific university and program you are applying to. Generally, it's best to check with the admissions office of the universities you are interested in to confirm their specific requirements. While Health may not count as a science course for A-G requirements, it may still fulfill other elective or graduation requirements, so it's valuable to have taken it.
Remember, the key to catching up and making a positive impression on your college application is to demonstrate growth, dedication, and a willingness to improve. Good luck!
