Beforehand, I had almost failed my previous algebra test. This test, which I got back today, was 100%. Then I got my quiz.

Can you guess?

100%.

Then got I got my science test.

101%.

Happiness.

=D

good god your name o_O

 

[Fly_Amanita]

It's not long enough.

 

[:mad:]

It was longer before.

Thread derailed on the first post what is this --

 

[Mewter]

And his avatar.
He probably has as many letters in there as percents in both his test grades combined.
Good job though. You must be proud. Extra credit is hard to come by. I wish my username was that long.

 

[Maniclysane]

Your name makes me a little hard.

 

[Insetick]

I'd be happy if I knew my grades will get me into the schools I've applied to

 

[saviorslegacy]

HOLY CRAP!
That is one long name.

 

[JustNoOne]

Congratzs! Getting 100% is hard the higher the grade your in ^.^

 

[urdailywater]

I wish I could good grades like that.


I have like, zero motivation this year though, so usually my grades end up being average or sometimes above, sometimes below.

Good job on it though. Wait 'till Algebra 2 though it's like 100times harder.

..Well maybe not. I just didn't really do too swell on Algebra is why I say that I guess. >.> ..

I know, I'm special.http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_azWGDGMNltU/SnYn7Jb-IxI/AAAAAAAADKo/cN4XWWlpimw/s400/ElvisThankYou.jpg

If you simply do the work and understand the criteria (easy) then there's no excuse to ace school. Oh, don't procrastinate though, it hurt and hurts hard.

 

[Joeadok]

Congrats dude, high standard and all that, doubt i've done that well being as lazy as I was at during of this month, y'know, during exams.

 

[LoganW]

gunmaster, i don't think anyone cares what your grades are
and you're not acing by the way lol
a b plus isn't acing

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

I just don't understand why school is a problem for people. It's like they have disabilities or something. 90% of the time they don't, they're just lazy and feel like what they currently do will put them through the rest of their life (when is doesn't).

 

[LoganW]

yeah that's their problem and though your grades are good you don't have a 4.0 and shouldn't really be telling others what they should do

 

[deepseadiva]

Honors English 9: B+
Health: A
Honors Algebra: A
Spanish 1: A
IPS: A
World History: A

HA!

You suck.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

The Honors classes weren't mandatory, but people in the regular ones were loco. No johns w/o a doubt.

What's YOUR schedule Miss Bloopy?

 

[Delta-cod]

yeah that's their problem and though your grades are good you don't have a 4.0 and shouldn't really be telling others what they should do

Oh, can I do it then?

If you simply do the work and understand the criteria (easy) then there's no excuse to ace school. Oh, don't procrastinate though, it hurt and hurts hard.

Do I win?

Anyways, school isn't that hard. I'm taking pretty much all the top level classes available to me, and I'm still getting straight A's without any problem.

AP European History: A-
Math Analysis Honors: A-
Spanish 3 Honors: A
Chem Honors: A
English II Honors: A
US History I Honors: A-

My school is mostly easy if you know what you're doing.

Mine looks like this (High school sophomore):

Spanish A+
Chemistry: A+
Trigonometry: A+
Nanotechnology: A+
Social Studies: A
English: A
Advanced CAD: A
Physical Education: B

Whose idea was it to make gym actually count towards your average anyway? *Sulks*

They teach you Nanotechnology at your school? That's crazy. @_@

Lol @ you getting a B in Gym.

 

[Smoom77]

How is anything less than 100% in gym possible??????

 

[Delta-cod]

The teachers can hate your guts, or you can just hate them and not want to listen/try. I know in my Gym class, it cycles through activities, and if I don't like a sport/activity, I won't participate well, which lowers the grade.

Gym doesn't really matter anyways. >_>''

 

[Nihongo-ookami]

Ha, you should see my grades. They're so good. Senior in High School, baby.

Political Systems: 55(F)
Economics:72(D)
AP Programming:89(B)
British Literature:75(C)
Web Design:82(B)
Statistics:83(B)

With a 2.5-something GPA.

I win.

Spoiler

NOT REALLY.

And I got a 99 in gym when I took it. WTF? Where'd that one go? Oh yeah, I didn't feel like running the mile run, so I walked and read Gameinformer.

 

[n88]

@Sm-lotsa "o"s-m

You are actually graded on your athleticism. Not even joking. If you can't do as many push-ups as the standard for guys your age, that's automatically four points off your average. The same goes for running a mile, pull-ups, etc. You also have to do a report with very vague objectives on a sport of your choice once a year.

 

[wowoduend]

One of my grades from a certain grades is dropping. Gotta bring it up dammit!

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

A B in Gym...Gym, of all classes.
America IS the fattest country.

I'm with you on the British Literature thing. I dislike that class now.

All my other classes besides that are just easy as hell though. I got lucky this year, and since my school just switched over to block scheduling a lot of teachers don't have time to teach the whole subject, which can be good or bad depending on the teacher.

My other classes are like

Consumer Awarness: 91
Business Essentials: 94
Entrepreneurship: 96

And I only dislike ONE teacher out of all of them. Sadly it's not the one I'm failing.

..The one I'm failing is the one with the teacher I like the most. (Well, second most probably)

Block scheduling sucks in every other way though. Less lunch time, and I have to go to school 10 minutes earlier than before. =/

America IS the fattest country.

screw gym, that's for girls. men taking weightlifting.

Spoiler

spoiler: i didn't take weightlifting. i took gym. now i'm on smashboards

here's something even more idiotic: my class grades you on whether you bring gym shorts and a gym shirt or not. if you forget, you get -50 points that day. that ENTIRE day. what.

TEMPTATION IS SIN

WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME

 

[n88]

Shut up. Or I'll sit on you.
Actually, I'm not really fat, just grossly incompetent at athletics.

here's something even more idiotic: my class grades you on whether you bring gym shorts and a gym shirt or not. if you forget, you get -50 points that day. that ENTIRE day. what.

At my school, you're not allowed to play if you don't have gym clothes. You lose points and you have to write a current event-article on something sports-related.

To me, the irony is that the reason my school gives a numeric grade in gym is to raise students' overall averages.

When I was in high school, dressing down for P.E. was mandatory.

 

[Yink]

When I was in high school, dressing down for P.E. was mandatory.

Same. You'd also get docked if you forgot to dress out for 3 classes.

Here ya go, my college schedule:

Psychology 230 (developmental psych): A
Astronomy 120 (the sky and the solar system): A-
World Cultures 280: A
Design 102 (studio art): B+ - fffffffff
Design 183 (history and culture): B - FFFFFFFFFF

That was totally irrelevant to the first post...............anyways, good job on your good grades Smoom. I forgot a lot of o's

Your classes aren't very hard, don't talk.

 

[SuperBowser]

I used to get pretty 'meh' grades in report cards. I'd just cram for the end of year exams and do nothing the rest of the time :D


Grade boundaries seem super-inflated in America. Over here, you can get an A with 70%. Are your exams super easy, or are the british super dumb?

hmmmmmmmmm

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Your classes aren't very hard, don't talk.

School isn't REALLY hard at all. You just get more work to do and there's more steps in finding your answer. If you take the time to study (which half the time you don't need to) there's no excuse not to do well.

I know what I'm talking about. I even take extracurriculars every year.

I know too.
I do honors/AP, I have football, badminton, boy scouts, church, and to be honest, there's not much time to study/do assignments. Don't act all high and mighty though because you can manage a couple not so hard classes. Lot's of people have outside problems affecting their scholarly habits and troubles at home preventing them from doing their work.

Are exams are generally worth a pretty miniscule percent of your grade until college. About somewhere between 10%-20% for most classes I've taken.

 

[SuperBowser]

Umm, if you mean at school, it depends on the subject. Sometimes coursework is worth 60% of the overall mark, other subjects it's all based on final exam.

But either way, the boundary is around 70-80% for an A.

 

[PJGLZ]

Lulz, I got 99% on two algebra tests
in a row

99!!!!!!!

 

[Espy Rose]

This thread quickly derailed into a comparison between everyone's "school-*****".

Grades are stupid.

 

[AtotheZ]

I'm a horrible student and went from a 3.945 to eventually a 1.1 gpa. I haven't really applied myself.
