Did You Get Good Grades in High School?
« on: March 19, 2012, 09:35:21 PM »
Sorry for so many topics, I just had a lot of ideas come to me today.

How did you do throughout high school? I was on Honor Roll from 10th grade and up, and graduated with an unexpected First Honors. Although I always felt I didn't deserve them because I felt my behavior is what heavily influenced my good grades - without them, I surely would have had Cs and Ds instead of As and Bs.

My GPA was 3.55. I was also in the top 15 percentile of my class.

This all also granted me a scholarship for free community college, though I never went to college.

Yes and no. When I sat my Standard grades at 16 I did really well I got mainly 1s and2s (the system for standard grade goes from 1 (the highest) to 7the lowest)) but when it came to my Highers and Advanced highers I'm ashamed to say I almost didn't care and just scraped through some and dumped physics before the exam :/

Yes. I was on the Honor Roll all through high school (actually the entire period where they have Honor Roll, which was 4th grade at my school) except for one trimester (thanks to Chemistry; loved labs, hated the math portion). I can't remember what my GPA was at the end of school, but I graduated in the Top Ten of my class. I was number nine, but then a guy joined our class in senior year and ended up as number two so I got bumped down to number ten (which didn't really bother me). I never really considered myself to be THAT smart, but I guess I was (though there was only about 50 of us).

I'm in my last year of high school currently. But, throughout high school, I can honestly say my marks are probably not as high as they probably should be. I could definitely have achieved higher, but I chose to take the low road and just coast through high school. And yet, I'll still probably wind up getting into University with the marks I have already because they're good enough, even though I haven't really per say "tried."

And the only sound that will break the air is the warrior's bitter cry

I have to say... High school was a pure joke for me <.< I don'T know if it's because I'm really good or because I came from a poor place that the educationnal program is not worth a penny, but throughout my 8th to 10th grade, I had a general average of about 90 to 95%. Of course, it dropped a little bit in 11th and 12th grade but I still managed to succeed my 12th grade with a general average of 88%. So yes, I can say that I had pretty good grades in high school. (And yes, Quebec is weird by working with percentages and even more weird in College, using what they call "R mark"... Right now, I have a mark or 28.375, which means I could get accepted in pretty much almost every University pretty easily and that this could be transfered somewhere between 75 and 80%).

At one point it's been as low as 1.33. ... . .. . . . But, uh, just waiting to see the results of the final tabulation once I graduate. Hopefully they won't read it aloud at graduation.

I've never known GPA to be read aloud at graduation. They typically just hand out the diplomas and mention whether you're graduating with honors or not. If it makes you feel better. :P

At my school, I'm rated 256 of 400 or so. Not because I'm stupid, just because I think that my school doesn't challenge me, I don't view it as a good use of my time. The only classes I really want are art classes and creative writing.


I currently average a low to high C in my classes.

I've been failing a lot of classes, but only because of homework, which they bumped up to like 40% of your grade.  I really wish I could just take the tests and that's it.  School doesn't challenge me. In fact, I'm the only freshman in Trig. So, I'm not dumb, just... I don't know, I just hate school.

I was a slacker and didn't do my homework, but I did well enough on test to even it out and get passing grades. I was a bit more series about school my last two years, but it wasn't enough to save my GPA, which was 2.5. Makes me feel bad to look back and the only thing bringing me down was just not doing simple homework. I did awesome in college, which is a bit more for me. I prefer having a large test now and then and just spending class time focusing on the subject.

Before Highschool i managed to get quite good grades, but i guess i was lucky because i wasent realy trying to hard. Nowadays i keep my grades around the avarage of 4.
I guess its allright, i mean first year of Highschool everyone slack, and i have realy dropped down a few points, but nothing realy significant.  XP
But aslong as school is interesting there is nothing stopping me getting good grades, except maybe for the teachers @.@

I was average....for most classes anyways 60-70s my best classes that were 80+ were Tech courses...which was metal shop and auto shop.....then again they were two of my fave classes...I got to sawzall a Toyota Corolla in two....with teachers permission! I also worked on car engines and other stuff in that class....as well as drivetrain and brake stuff..by far my fave class in High School. next was metal shop...I machined the parts(No CNC involved) and built up a steam/air powered single cylinder engine....Wish I sill had it...it was fun to build and jsut as fun to watch it work....and I prefer the manual mills and lathes over CNC stuff...I like being in control of something I'm building
