The way it worked for me was that you had your required credits set by the state to graduate - like 4 English, 4 math, 3 science, 2 language, 3 social studies, 1 physical education, 1 health, etc. We had seven class periods a day, so your schedule would have your required subject classes, plus electives to fill it out. 1/2 credit was a semester, 1 credit was a year (2 semesters). A lot of required credit classes were two semesters, and a lot of electives were just one, but not always. Within each general subject, there were different specialty subjects that you could choose from (science - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy, Geology). Some had prerequisites, a previous class (you had to take Algebra I to be able to take Algebra II), certain grades or placement test scores (advanced or college prep classes), or teacher permission. Electives might be things like Art, Band, Computer Science, Home Economics, Drama, Woodshop, Driver's Education, etc. You had to have an overall number of credits to graduate, I want to say 24. Our school didn't let students have free periods, but there was Study Hall, which had no credits attached.
