Man, I'm so angry about my AP Calculus BC exam! I got a 5! Last year on AP Calc AB I got a six because I proved College Board wrong! This is disgusting. I'm going to get that grade taken off of my record.

<p>My math teacher told me I was too stupid to take Pre-Cal! I'm pretty sure I would fail the class if I AIDED for AP Calc (my school only offers AB).</p>
<p>That was a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>That wasn’t a real quote, it was an exaggeration.</p>
<p>I feel stupid too! “Ugh I got a 34 on my ACT. I’m depressed and I feel so utterly stupid!”
I’m with you on this one!</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m like…shut up. I have a 24, and that took me three tries.</p>
<p>Work harder.</p>
<p>I do. I feel like a mental midget because I got a 25 on the ACT.</p>
<p>I know what you mean…I understand people wanting to have perfect scores and all, but they need to focus on what’s good about the fact that they got a 34, or a 4 on their exam. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t go to Harvard…most people don’t. Just because you didn’t make a 36 on your ACT or a 2400 on your SAT doesn’t mean you aren’t intelligent, and that you don’t work hard. I don’t feel stupid on here, because I know that I’m not. Don’t let grade grubbing people bother you. I understand where they’re coming from, but it’s really not worth it to obsess over grades the way some people on here do.</p>

<p>Excuse me…I studied five hours a night for that exam. I go to a terrible school, that’s about to lose funding. I did not have a Geometry class, and am a terrible math student. My score was so low because of my math grade. So get over yourself.</p>
<p>I have this theory that some students just get a dopamine high when they get good grades. Those are the ones who pursue their Masters, and their PhD’s because they “love learning so much” and also because they can’t bear to part with the motif of hard work and good grades and trying to have The Perfect Score, etc.</p>
<p>Don’t feel stupid… feel unburdened by obsession :P</p>
<p>I totally know what you mean. I need to stay away from chance threads.</p>
