<p>No I got a B in AP chem for the year and I totally deserved it. I put no real effort into the class. Everything else makes sense.</p>
<p>I got a B last semester in english. I worked my butt off for a couple of weeks, resulting in the best essay i have ever written. My teacher picked favorites and graded based on that. She gave me a 79% on it. When i asked her what was so wrong with my essay, she could only come up with a single grammar error. I needed a 90% to get an A, and my final grade was a 89.96%. She refused to round it up to an A. </p>
<p>I got higher grades than I deserved in a lot of classes because my teachers were very forgiving and tacked on invisible extra credit to assignments because they thought I deserved a higher grade than I actually got. That was particularly the case in my AP history classes - I always worked my butt off when it came to notes, projects, essays, etc - so when I bombed tests (and my average tanked) - my teachers used to to up my grade a few points to compensate. I never questioned it. I’d always have a high 80 or low 90 for AP World numerically but my teacher always closed the grade as a high 90 (sometimes a 10 point boost) – the same went for APUSH and AP Gov. </p>
<p>@halcyonheather a 96 is an A in my school and a 97 is an A+ </p>
<p>One of my teachers gave me an 89.49, because I was missed one day of school! All I need was a 90 for an A-. THE INJUSTICE :(( </p>
<p>If this was anywhere but College Confidential, all of you would get smacked upside your heads. </p>
<p>Yeah, I had a final presentation group project for my geology class at Kent and I got a B… It was awfully unorganized and I can’t speak without shaking and mumbling. I think he felt bad for us because one of our group members didn’t show up with her third of the project, which included the annotated bib and a large speaking role.</p>
<p>There was this one time in Middle School where I got sick, so I missed a couple of days from school. When I came back, I didn’t know that I missed some of the material, but my math teacher had me take a test I missed in a really distracting classroom. I did really bad on it and she wouldn’t let me do any retakes or extra credit because it was a high school level class, and apparently high school teachers <em>never</em> give extra credit or test corrections. And thus is the story of the only “B” I got in Middle School, and the first B on my high school transcript. =_=</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten my spanish final back, but if I did really bad I honestly don’t feel it was completely my fault. Our teacher told us to only know broad information about one political figure for the writing section, but instead they tested us on all of them in the MC. She asked super specific information after telling us she wouldn’t. Needless to say everyone was shocked and bombed that part. :/</p>
<p>My home high schools A range is from a 95% to a 100%. However, I now take university classes to supplement my junior and senior year of high school, so now my A range is a 90% to a 100%. </p>
<p>Y’all need to stop making excuses and move on. Man (or woman) Up!</p>
<p>My sophomore year, I got a B in AP Bio because I got super sick right before the final that I needed a 88% on to keep my A. I had horrible headaches and could barely read the chapter. Needless to say, I bombed the final and got a B.</p>
<p>I’m over it now, but at the time, it really stung.</p>
