<p>Would colleges think there was grade inflation for the following:</p>
<p>SAT II Physics - 610; Grade - A
AP US History - 4; Grade - A</p>
<p>I think it's yes for the former and no to the latter. But I just want to clarify. Thanks.</p>
<p>that is some serious grade inflation.</p>
<p>I agree with you. Physics is inflated but AP US History isn't.</p>
<p>lol i got 700+ physics and got a C- in physics honors</p>
<p>YOu can't judge one to the other. AP Physics 5, course A+, straight every marking period. Regents physics exam 100.</p>
<p>SAT II June physics 680</p>
<p>Ok, so colleges would look down on this, no? So, if I were to retake and make like a 670, would that still be inflated? What score would I need? Does this even matter that much?</p>
<p>Why should colleges look down on YOU, if your SCHOOL inflates grades? My dtr. is in a similar situation. Good (no" cc" good) SAT's, and the best grades you could get in the "rigorous" classes.</p>
<p>yeah, beanies--even if colleges care, there's not much you can do about your school's grading policies. with all of the other things you could actually be doing something about, i wouldn't worry about grade inflation at your school, which you can't change.</p>
<p>on the other hand--man, if you <em>did</em> change the grade inflation at your school, imagine what a personal statement that would make for. hmmmm ;)</p>
<p>or maybe you just screwed up on your physics exam.</p>
<p>Lol, I got A's in AP Bio, English Language, and Art History - yet I got a 3 on all of those APs :o . My other APs have been mainly 5s and one 4 though.</p>
<p>lebedev, that was what it was. Also, our physics teacher was really terrible. So any suggestions from here? Just retake?</p>
<p>If you feel that you can do significantly better than a 610, go ahead an retake. Otherwise, sit back, relax, and focus on other things you like to do.</p>
