is convicted of having committed one moving violation during the first six months of having a driver's license, the person may be required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian whenever operating a motor vehicle during the six-month period commencing on the date on which the person is convicted of or pleads guilty to the moving violation or until the person turns 17.

That's the law for moving violations. I'm 16 and I got my license November 23rd, 2011. I received a citation on May 14th for going 44 in a 25. I had just received a warning on may 9th. The court date was set for the 24th of may but rescheduled to the 31st at 8:30am. Since may 23rd is 6 months from when I received my license, would the above law still apply since I'm going to be convicted May 31st which is longer than six months? And what are the odds of my license being suspended?
 
You have to be convicted during the first six months, so that provision would not apply. Since it's your first conviction and it's less than 25 miles over the limit, it's very unlikely that your license will be suspended.

Basically, this whole thing is a scam so that you can't pay the minimum fine but instead have to be sentence by a judge. The judge will tell you how serious your offense was, how you could have killed someone, how irresponsible you are, how he should suspend your license. Blah, blah, blah. Then he'll fine you some huge amount of money and act like he's doing you a favor. You'll have to be polite and apologetic and also act like he's doing you a huge favor because otherwise he'll fine you *and* suspend your license.

Welcome to the real world.
 
Well, first of all, I can only hope the odds are high. You had received a warning, and THEN got caught doing 44 in a 25 mile and hour zone? It doesn't sound to me as if you are ready to drive. That isn't a lack of skill, but a lack of judgement - and who allowed you to drive without being accompanied as required by law? If you took off without permission, you also could have been reported for auto theft.

The judge will determine what happens next - the key word is MAY.
. They may very well send you back for retraining, since it hasn't sunk in just how much metal is flying down the road when you drive.

ALWAYS act respectfully towards the judge, no "blah, blah, blah" - that is disrespectful-
you did this. Yes - the real world, and it looks like a lot of bad things waiting to happen, if you don't understand what driving is all about.
