<p>yea i basically tell people " i haven’t looked at my score yet…" or “i did bad” or " i really don’t feel like saying it". regardless of how i do, i think my states are bleh. but to kids in my school its like ah-mazing, so there’s really no point to lieing. if i just don’t feel like saying it, i won’t say it.</p>
<p>I usually give them an ambiguous answer. If they ask me “How I did?” on a particular test, I just say I passed or etc. I hate it when people ask me for my grade, but moreso if they attempt to find out through other people and then come up to congratulate me or something.
The same happened for my AP grade. I told only one person (just to calm down her nerves because hadn’t receive hers), and next thing you know, I get bombarded w/ all these “OMGGGG!!!11 You’re such a genius” and “Congratulations!!”, etc. But it feels all ingenuine and fake.</p>
<p>The thing is that people often lie about their grade, in my school, as some form of reverse psychology, I suppose. They figure if they lie about their grade being lower than what they got, their “competition” might not up their game - you know as complacency.</p>
<p>I don’t lie, but sometimes I just don’t tell people. It can get quite annoying when people worship your SAT score when it’s really not that great.</p>
<p>I just say I got an A, we don’t really refer to gpas here =/</p>
<p>If I’m especially happy about a grade, let’s say i got a hundred in a hard course, yeah of course i’d brag about it with my friends :P</p>
<p>I always avoided sharing my grades with my peers. I don’t think it’s necessarily their business.</p>
<p>a 32 isn’t good enough to warrant a lie in the first place.</p>
<p>In my school, a lot of people don’t share ACT/SAT scores at all. (I haven’t taken them yet though)</p>
<p>Most people don’t know my scores. I’m definitely not one of those people who ask what did they get on a test or whatever unless they want to tell me. And GPA is my secret haha</p>
<p>Actually, I should add that a lot of people guess my ACT score. They know I’m smartish, but not smart enough to get a perfect score (in their minds). They know my score is high, but not high enough to be perfect. So yeah, like so many times people will just say like, “I bet you got an X” and I’ll be like “lol, yeah, I guess you got it”.</p>
<p>^^I agree with that, I don’t like going on to fnd out if I did amazingly well. When I was in 9th grade, I did extremely well on my English exam, and I didn’t want to tell anybody. People kept asking, so I just sh owed the grade to somebody. 5 Minutes later, I had 20 kids all ove me asking how I did that. Within 3 hours, everybody knew; I didn’t want that. Same thing when I do well on science tests. I like my privacy haha!</p>
<p>^Agreed. After I did really well on a math test last year, some people are like “Dude, if I aced the test I would post copies all over the school to show everyone.” But no, I really don’t want people to know for multiple reasons. I don’t want to seem like I brag and make my friends feel bad about their scores, I don’t really think it’s that huge of a deal, I don’t want people molesting me asking me for help on the next test, I don’t want some uber-high expectations placed on me to do well again, etc… I like my privacy too.</p>
<p>^Thank you, somebody who know what I mean! People do expect you to do well, and make a HUGE deal if they “beat” you on a teest, paper, etc. That happens a lot, where it’s like, “Wow, you only got a 94?” My mom had to sign my bio test (most kids did miserably on it, so everybody had to get it signed), and she said, “What grade did you get? A 90, what happened this time around?” I mean, when I get an A-, and it’s still better than 99% of my classmates, and it’s frowned upon, that’s kinda bad IMHO. I can’t get 100+ on every test test I take. Sheesh! </p>
<p>lol, sorry for ranting, but this happens too much. I mean not everybody is a CC-machine where we own everything. We miss answers too! Privacy rules! ;)</p>
<p>^So true. I’m also glad I found somebody who knows what I’m talking about. It would be really awkward for me to rant about this “problem” in front of friends or classmates or teachers.</p>
<p>^Haha, hurray Internet privacy! Rant where nobody knows who you are!!!</p>
<p>This would be sooooo weird to talk about in front of teachers/classmates/friends because they would be like, “Oh, look at me. I’m so smart I complain that people talk about my grades. Poor me.”</p>
<p>One time I was slightly irked at myself for circling the wrong multiple choice answer on a test (still did extremely well, just that one response would have been “perfect.”) Some guy says, “Look at me, I’m smart and athletic. Please feel bad for me for making a mistake.” Gosh, people are cruel sometimes, glad I left that school!</p>
<p>^You’re like my CC twin. Honestly all the stuff you have mentioned has happened to me. Weird.</p>
<p>I don’t lie about that stuff. Honestly I don’t really care and I have a good academic record anyway. Everyone knows that I take the most AP classes out of anyone at my school and challenge myself the most. So really, if my GPA is lower or class rank or whatever it’s because I take much harder classes and strain myself.</p>
<p>It sounds like, to me, that some of yall are pretty anal about keeping your scores a secret… I personally just tell whoever asks, if I get a bad grade on something I’ll laugh it off because it’s not a big deal. I do tell them my superscored SAT score though haha :p</p>
<p>^Haha, I have told people about one single digit grade however haha! I laughed it off because it lowered my overall grade by 1 point. Take that chumps! I just want privacy, not 40 kids asking me my grades, it gets really annoying.</p>
<p>@GammaGorza: Wow, that’s pretty crazy! Maybe we’re intellectual twins lol! Pretty funny :]</p>
<p>I get annoyed when people ask for my scores so when they do I usually just tell them 999/1.23/69 (sat/gpa/schooltest)</p>
<p>Not too many people ask me. If they know your smart they just sort of guess and if you complain about “Ehh, I suck at calculus” they all say “Shut up, you’re a genius, all of us are still in precal and most of us will never take BC.” It kind of sucks because I am actually bad at calculus. I mean, my AP score was shockingly good, but I still failed a lot tests in there and had to get a tutor to get an A second semester.
But if they do ask me, I’ve never thought to lie. When I was in 7th grade, somehow, everyone knew what score I had gotten on the SAT in 6th grade, and that I had taken it. It was so annoying. But now, it doesn’t seem to spread so much. I spread people’s scores like crazy though. I’ll tell anyone.</p>
