<p>Okay guys, here's the deal.</p>
<p>I have a 92.33 in AP Euro, and ONE POINT in a DAILY GRADE is making all the difference. If I had a 93 instead of a 92 on that one assignment, I would currently have an A in Euro.</p>
<p>I know I'm being a grade-poop, but seriously? a point? very veery frustrating. So what I'm currently debating now is whether or not to ask my teacher to bump my daily grade by a point.</p>
<p>And all y'all out there, who say it's "cheating everyone else", I KNOW! But I really think I deserve a 93 because i've been working off my butt all year long whereas others just completely slack off and still manage to pull an A-, the same grade as me. </p>
<p>So, the big question: should I ask my teacher to bump it or not?!</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. It won’t make or break your app to colleges.</p>
<p>Yeah I know that, but that’s the difference between rank 1 and rank 13 at our school o__o</p>
<p>Just ask or you will waste time wondering “what if I had asked” later.</p>
<p>Rather than just ask for a bump, ask him if there’s an extra credit you can do to get the extra points.</p>
<p>You should definitely try and approach the teacher and ask for a bump. The extra credit idea sounds really good too.</p>
<p>I once asked for a grade bump when I literally had an 89.48 percent in the class, and the teacher said no. I am glad I tried though (and it was just a quarter grade so all ended well in my book).</p>
<p>Sometimes teachers will, but it depends on the teacher. Ask and see. I’ve asked teachers several times for this- I have some teachers that will bump up a 94.5% A- to a 95% A, but then I’ve had other teachers that won’t bump up a 98.9% A to a 99% A+, so it depends.</p>
<p>93 is an A at your school? That’s nice! 95 is ours.</p>
<p>^ Some schools have an A = 90.</p>
<p>I know a kid who memorized the entire periodic table + all the nitty gritty stuff on it in order for the prof to give him a D instead of a failing grade. Your best bet is to ask if you can do something in order to get the extra point. Try using the door in the face strategy.</p>
