Rachel, YOU CAN DO IT! Attend your classes! Focus on the instructor! Raise questions! Complete your homework diligently! Ensure you get a restful night's sleep to stay alert and prepared for learning! Maintain an active lifestyle by going for walks or skipping rope! As others have suggested, seek guidance from a teacher or counselor! Participate in your high school's photography club or any other group that piques your interest – or even better, join a group you're unfamiliar with! The more involved you are in both class and extracurricular activities, the more eager you'll be to attend school and excel with outstanding results. Best of luck!

Dear Rachel, I am a retired high school guidance counselor. You did not share your grade level, so I'm not sure what your timeline is, but the best way to pass high school is to meet immediately with your guidance counselor to discuss your graduation requirements (state & local, which is your school district) and if you are on track for graduation. All high school guidance counselors should do this for each student on their caseload every semester, in order to present an as accurate account of graduation data to the school principal, district & state, like...
1. is a student on track for graduation or has the appropriate credits to match their grade level?
2. is a student lacking graduation credits? If so,
3. what is the number of credits a student needs in order to graduate on time? This is vital because on-time graduation info is reported to the federal government & factored into Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) reports. A school can be shutdown or taken into receivership for poor AYP scores.
4. guidance counselor must create a graduation tracker for each student to show the courses needed to graduate & provide a timeline in which these requirements for student to graduate on time should be met. (graduation requirements may include statewide exams, in addition to district course requirements).
5. graduation tracker should include how any missing graduation requirements will be met with options, like: repeating the class, online credit recovery, summer school, night school, etc.
Once you know your GRADUATION STATUS and have a plan to get on track or stay on track for graduation, you are good to go. Meet with your guidance counselor at least every semester.
Request a meeting with your high school guidance counselor to discuss your graduation status.
Ask your guidance counselor to create your graduation tracker, so you can see what credits you have & what credits you need.
Once you know your graduation status, ask your guidance counselor if you can do more. It's always good to graduate with extra credits & it looks good to colleges, too.
Dual enrollment is a good option to earn college credits while still in high school, if you are interested. Advanced Placement courses are an option if you are academically inclined.

Hi Rachel,
Your question is a bit uncertain: It's unclear what stage or exam you mean in particular.
Generally speaking, you need to meet all the requirements and successfully take all the exams for finishing high school.
Good luck and all the best
