<p>she will have a blast applying to colleges.</p>

<p>Boy do i hate those geniuses who get Fs on final exams...and still manage an A!</p>

<p>anyway, it sucks when you need a 93+ to have a 4.0 for the class though and you don't do well on the final and then get like a 92 for semester......</p>

<p>40% for me!</p>

<p>I don't think I am a genius. I just try my best during the grading period because I know that final exams get me stressed out. Besides I finished my final in Advanced Mathematics yesterday. I will not comment on how I think I done. I might have some people on this board mad at me .....lol</p>

<p>Besides I use to have trouble in math. I think it just got better over time because in junior high I was horrible in math. And I am not a good test taker, because I do horrible on the ACT and other test. So everyone just has a subject they are better in, math is just my subject.</p>

<p>sr6662, I know!!!!! that happens to me alllll the time.. i make it just one point below the mark.. i remember last year i didn't make a 97 (4.5) in chemistry by 1 point on my exam.. that was one question. i always make 89, 92s, and 96s and our scale is 90 is a 4.1, 93 is a 4.3 and 96 is a 4.5... grrr.. hopefully this semester i will make lots of 90s, 93s, and 97s</p>

28

<p>jj_w.. that is insane. absolutely insane. i would be crying if our exams were 40 percent of our grades lol</p>

29

<p>96 is a 4.5?</p>

<p>That is rough.....</p>

30

<p>Yeah, I think 40% is pretty brutal....I am definitely studying hardcore during the holiday!</p>

32

<p>Grade 12 Math...I also have a Grade 11 Social Studies (History) final exam, but it's only worth 20%..</p>

33

<p>haha finals suck, i have psych on monday and then the rest after break. :( maybe i should start yeah?</p>

34

<p>yeah in my school 96 is an A 4.0 (AP = 5.0)
93-95 = A- 3.7 (AP = 4.7)</p>

<p>even if you get a 95.9, its an A- because teachers refuse to round up!</p>
