==School Grades== (and everything about studying and classes)
Your boy will start behind compared to everyone else and will have to work hard to improve their Class Skills and Grades. When you go to class, a skill check is performed to see how well you did on your classwork and how well you understood the lesson. The level of this skill checks starts as Level 2 and increases by 1 every month, meaning you have to gain at least 1 level in each of your school skills every month. Passing this check will grant you Skill XP and an increase to your grade, while failing will only grant you a tiny amount of XP and lower your grade. In order to pass, you may need some additional help.
For your main 4 classes, Math, History, Science, and English, you can study at libraries to help. Studying will grant you a +10 bonus to your next class in that subject, which can be done a total of 3 times between every class, for a total bonus of +30 which will greatly increase your chances of success!
Studying only grants you a bonus in the class you studied in, so studying for Math will do you no good in Science. Likewise, your Study Bonus for said class will reduce by -10 after each class, meaning you will have to keep up studying for the full bonus.
Your school grade is a reflection of how well you are doing at school. Final Exams are not implemented yet, so your grades are based on your performance in the Mock Exam that happens every Friday. Note that there is a distinction between Current Grade and Final Grade. This will be explained below.
There are 4 components that come into play when determining your grade. The components are expressed in the formula below. Final Grade = Current Grade + Study Results + Skill Level + Exam Score
