My county grading scale is:

 

 

 

100-94 : A

 

93-90 : B+

 

89-84 : B

 

...and so on. We used to have 100-90 being an A about seven years ago but they changed it. If it was that way, my GPA would be so much higher.

 

 

 

My school is an IB school, and you only get 0.5 weight. I think AP classes are 0.5 here too. We don't have class ranks either.

 

 

 

Each year my GPA has gone up. Freshman year: ~3.5, sophomore year: ~3.7, junior year: ~3.8, and so far this year it's over a 4.0. Don't know the exact average though.

These American grades are weird lol.

 

 

 

Here in the Netherlands we have a 1-10 marking system.

 

 

 

1 is very bad, can't go lower than that.

 

1-5.5 isn't good, when I didn't study Greek at all last year I got a 2.2.

 

5.5 is sufficient.

 

6.5 is the average you need over all classes to pass to the next year.

 

7-8 is, depending on the subject, considered quite good.

 

8-9 is good enough, no one will ever complain if you get that.

 

9+ is awesome.

 

10 is every question right.

 

 

 

I've been getting 5.9-8.6 averages this year, lowest being 5.9 for Physics (fail chapter, extremely bad at electricity) and highest 8.6 for both English and Maths. Any other subjects in between that, mostly 7.5-8. Quite good if you ask me :D

Freshman year in high school, I received a 3.5 GPA. That was with 3 Honors classes. I feel like I could have done much better.

 

 

 

Now, as a sophomore, I pulled a 3.8 GPA first quarter (with no Honors classes :thumbsup: )and currently waiting on Finals for first semester.

 

(Might do a little worse 2nd quarter, Geometry grade went from A- to B- :( )

My final freshman average was an 85.6% (slacked off).

 

 

 

First quarter average this year was a 91%.

 

 

 

I slacked off last year. I'm not stopping till I get my 90+ in all classes.

 

 

 

TyGod I don't have parents who freak about grades. If it's -80, its bad, get it up! (grounded).

 

 

 

80-90: Good job! But you can do better.

 

 

 

90+: cha-ching :mrgreen:

 

 

 

AP Euro is evil though so, my aim is 85+ w/o curve. managed an 85 (5 point curve) this quarter...so...ehh...fun class though...Mr. Patterson is insane.

I'm currently sucking so bad right now.

 

 

 

I think I have a 3.0.

 

At least, from my first quarter report card I think....

 

 

 

Why do you people think a 3.0 is so bad?

 

 

 

I guess because it's more of an average grade. You need like a 3.5 or higher in order to be inducted into National Honor Society. I suppose everyone wants to be among the best in order to receive huge scholarships and opportunities to go to the university that they like the most.

Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

I've gotten a 3.8-3.9 GPA for every quarter in the last two years, except for last quarter, where I got 3.4. Ouch.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

Because, unless every class is AP that you're in, below 3.0 you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

 

 

 

I got an app. for NHS, I didn't turn it in though. Those guys are arrogant [wagon] people. I don't want to be associated with them. Also, I need community service for 9th grade, which I didn't have. >.<

I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001. Comped 4/30/15

No idea, but I turned in pretty much zero homework this quarter. :D Ha, all of my classes are far too easy for me, but because of that I don't feel motivated. Therefor, I do no work at all and get B's/C's on my report card. I suppose for people to recognize my genius and move me up I'll wait 'til standardized testing rolls along.

So, basically Earthysun is Jesus's only son.

I have a 3.46 weighted cumulative gpa according to my transcript, but I got that at the beginning of this year so it isn't current, but close.

 

 

 

Unweighted it's a 3.29. I'm ranked 106th in my class though, which puts me at the top 20%, which kinda sucks, but I'm doing better this (Junior) year than I had been the last 2. Plus, if I keep in the top 20%, I'm guaranteed a place in college here (Florida).

 

 

 

Oh, and Cabbage - according to our system (in Florida at least, should be the whole US), you have a C. B is 80-89 (or if they do rounding, 79.5-89.4).

 

 

 

I can't remember the last time I did a homework assignment that wasn't a major project at home, and I get A's and B's. Then again, I have over an hour for lunch (compared to the regular half hour), and most of the time I'm done with my work in my Gaming class early, so I have a lot of time to do spare work. Either way, I rarely do work outside of school, which is rather amazing. I usually just spend time in my next class doing work for the previous one.

So you sucker punched a kid in the back of the head? Good job.
What scares me is that you're like 10 years old.
-.- im not that freaking young
You were a couple years ago.
It's not racist if its true.
Hmm... I wonder how one goes about throwing someone out a window in a mystic fashion :-k

 

The mental image for that is freaking awesome.

Last quarter I had a 4.0, right now I'm getting a 3.666.

 

 

 

B+ in choir because my teacher is a [beep] half the time and B in biology because I missed so much stuff for choir.

 

 

 

Yeah, considering taking private lessons and not taking choir next year.

Is my school really hard or are you all just geniuses? Seriously, how does 70% of this forum manage to get a 90+ average?

 

 

 

No offense, but...

 

 

 

Pfft. It really isn't hard to make decent grades. Haha, I'm in CP2, and I don't give a [expletive] about work. :D I'm sure that's the problem with most people. Heck, my parents call my classes the 'stupid classes' because I'm in 9th grade at age 14. :roll:

I think it has to do with the marking system. If you're really really smart here in Holland, the best average you're going to get is around 8.5/10.

Last i checked i had a 3.333. I could get 4.0 if i tried, but I'm satisfied with all As and Bs.

 

 

 

(my school is also pretty hard compared to most, before I transferred, i had all As without barely any effort. I'm currently putting more effort into getting my current grades)

4.0

 

 

 

I was l--l this close to making a B in one class, but two miraculous grades saved my life and pulled me up way more than I expected! :D You could imagine my joy.

 

 

 

I would go insane and maybe even hurt myself if I made anything less than an A on a report card (literally) :ohnoes: I would be scarred for life.

Cbow! Cbow!!!!! +120 range is orgasmic. Or maul, thats what I'd get out of those two options.

I agree with baconisbacon, Cbow looks freaking sensual

Well, by Canadian standards I have a 4.0 :D But by American standards I have a 3.4 or so. I could probably pull off a 90 if I applied myself, but this year I swear the school was trying to screw me over. Almost every time I have a test or two, the night before I have a football practice and a hockey game.

 

 

 

And do private schools give harder tests/courses compared to public schools?
