Actually, a semester in the Untied States is 6 months, since its word being of Latin origin, meaning six-monthly, A semester would be cut off into two terms. After the first six months of the school year, you get your report card and then after the last six months of the school year (the second semester), you get your report card.

^^ Paily4ever you're thinking of a trimester. A trimester is three, hence the prefix, tri, meaning three. A quarter would be four terms. So a trimester would be divided into three terms. And a quarter would be divided into four terms. A semester would be divided into two terms (about six months each semester).
