in my biopsychology class. it is six weeks long, and there are three tests that make up most of my grade.

there are these little quizzes, too, and i got a 9/10 on the first one. a 90% is an A-.

goodbye high GPA.

really, in high school you have so many opportunities to raise your grade to a 90+. i mean, you can still do poorly on tests and get an A. many teachers give extra credit. some will bump up your grade if you are close and whine a bit.

A 90 is a B here.

but are you talking about high school?

because you have to be an idiot to not get more than a 90 in a high school class.


jesus christ you should wear a diaper on your face cuz you're talking a lot of crap. but i guess you're right if every single high school in america is exactly the same.

Wow 94% seems ridiculous.

our's is A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+...and so on

teachers have different scales, but most require you to get a 93% or higher to get an A. some require 94%

I had to get a 100% in AP Calculus for the last semester to get an A. And I pulled it up to an A, so I think you can do it too. Unless it's completely over.

  ap calculus was easy. i got like a 103%


 
  Well, It definitely wasn't easy for me. But I didn't study.

i didn't study either. the teacher was easy but there were only like 2 of us that got As, and i'm pretty sure i was the only person to pass the ap exam haha



A few of us got A's, It wasn't a big deal though.

well, woop de doo.

An a is an a. What is wrong with 90%?

it would be an A- which translates to a 3.75, which you might not think is so bad, but i want to apply for a clinical psych ph.d. program, and acceptance rates at good schools are lower than med schools. and gpa is really important. really


WOW. My college rates it like this A+,A, and A- all equal an A on your transcript, B+,B,B- all equal a B on your transcrupt etc

A lower grade will probably give you some character. Sheesh.

In my medic class a 94 was a A-.  Anything below an 80 was failing.
