if your trying to get into med school i would say 80 or higher
2 :
85% average, shouldn't go below 80%, and must NEVER go below 75%.
3 :
well the higher the better go for about 90% or maybe eve n95%
4 :
Just take the class again if you can...specially if you fail it then even though it lowers your average, you can always show that you re took it... but the best thing is to talk to your teacher and ask for help, tutoring and special work you can do to dramatically change your grade..... if the teachers see that you asked for help................. you tell your teacher that you would like to talk to her and you say it 5 minutes before class is over...then when class is over you talk to him or her directly is the best thing...... now if your teacher isnt good or cant explain the class right, then you have to go to the principal for help..........explain your case... grades can be changed by the right people......... best of luck. I hope this helps you.. .please let me know.

How much does it cost to erect a riding menage/outdoor school? (UK £)

How much does it cost to erect a riding menage/outdoor school? (UK £)?
How much does it cost to build a 20m x 40m outdoor riding menage, with something like a silica sand or rubber chip surface, deep enough for showjumping and dressage, with all the proper drainage etc, floodlit, post and rail fenced with gate? Like roughly? Preferably in uk pounds. And i know it would probably require planning permission, i just want to get an idea of how much it costs. Thanks :)

Two things to determine, how much levelling would be needed and what sort of soil are you on? We converted a tennis court into an arena 20 x 40 last year so there was not much ground work to do. The railings were already around the outside (tennis court was in the field) and as there were drains already under the court that cut back on the cost. We provided and did what little railing that was needed and the entry gate. We did have stone put on the broken up surface of the court then a membrane, sand and rubber chips on the top. The total coast was about £17,000 which did include some other ground work - scalpings for and building a track to the arena. It also included the boards to hold the surface in place. I had a local firm do the work as one of the men use to do arenas for a big company. I did get quotes from several companies for the same in surfacing and they ranged from £24,000 - £32,000

Namoshkar! There are several requirements to be met! 1. As a foreign student you must prove your proficiency of the English language with an acknowledged test such as the TOEFL or the IELTS. They cost about 180-220 Dollars. You need a certain minimum score to be considered eligible. However, if you speak English adequately it shouldn´t be a big problem. I´m German and had English for ten years in school and spent a year in the US. I got more than enough points. However, even with less experience, it would have been well possible. You have to remember that law is a very text-based course so it usually has the highest requirements for language abilities. 2. For some law schools in the UK, Oxbridge included, you will also have to take the Law National Admissions Test (LNAT) in order to demonstrate your reasoning skills, which are crucial to legal studies. It costs about 50 Dollars and can be taken in almost every country on earth. For Oxford it must be taken during the month of September every year. Application deadline for the university´s legal program is Oct. 15th. 3. Interviews are usually not common for law unless they want to get a closer look at you since they are still unsure whether to make you an offer or not. At this stage you already have good chances, though. 4. Most importantly, you will have to apply online through the UCAS website. Here you enter all necessary data regarding your person and previous education. You also have to check on the university´s website whether your type of diploma is officially accepted. There will be a fee for applying through UCAS as well. It should be around 20 Dollars. There is no other way to apply. Once you´ve successfully submitted your application, the admissions officers will carefully review it and then inform you about the outcome. You should know whether you were made an offer or not by late December or early January. Remember that even though the University of Oxford is highly competitive, you should not be discouraged by mere figures and rumors. Work hard and diligently on your application and try to show them that you are most fit to be a part of their student body. Good luck! =)
