<p>Yay updated grades for the 12 week grading period!</p>
<p>Sophomore Schedule:
(AP) Science Research: 96.5% (lol, this is a bs class :D)
AP Physics BC: 97%
AP Biology: 101% (Tests are curved)
AP Calculus BC: 98%
Spanish V (H): 101.5%
Modern World History (H): 103.1%
PE: 103%
English III (H): 96%</p>
<p>wow..your schools must be mad easy....how do you guys maintain such high averages? 103% that's completely unheard of in my school in an AP class. I actually managed the 99.85 at one point, but that was a normal class...lol. Even the geniuses on our grade have a couple B's for the quarter...</p>
<p>Anyways my current state of my grades is too shameful to post on CC :(</p>
<p>yeah meadow im in the same boat as you... there really isnt curving and rarely any extra credit... must be public schools...</p>
<p>Mine's like that too, even geniuses don't exactly get over 100%'s, that's unheard of (maybe except in math). Not much curving/grade inflation/extra credit, etc. It's annoying...it isn't that difficult to get a 4.0, but still, annoying in my standards. Oh and I had a 4.0 for 2 days before it's again a 3.6, then to a 2.5 then maybe to another 3.5.</p>
<p>EDIT: I officially have a 3.1 right now, had a 4.0 three days ago, and yesterday it was a 2.5, so it went up.</p>
<p>Well, the grade inflation in those classes is smaller than you might expect lol; physics the average grade is a C+ I think and in Calc it's somewhere in the B/B- range. It's just that everybody fails the tests (before the curve an average physics test will have an average of a D- or so and an average calc test a C/D. The teachers then curve these scores up a bit (usually so that the average on the test is a B- or so). I very rarely miss anything in physics and **calc<a href="go%20math%20and%20science!">/B</a> so I usually have a somewhat higher grade there (lol, the next highest in physics is an A- I think, hahaha).</p>
<p>edit: Oh, and I attend a private college prep school, supposedly one of the most rigorous (if not *the *most rigorous) in my state, lol...</p>
<p>Lol, my school doesn't have much grade inflation, but there are curves on AP Bio and AP Physics tests, in fact, no one has ever got an A (one or two A-s's in the history of the course) in AP Physics at my school (and some super geniuses have taken the class, including a IMO gold medalist, and several students that went to MIT, Harvard, and Stanford). Just to give you an idea of how difficult that class is, the average for the last test we had was in the 20% range....and we only have three tests/semester that account for 70% of our overall grade...</p>
<p>So you're smarter than all the students that went to Harvard, MIT, and Stanford is basically what you're saying. You didn't have to be so indirect, a lot of us already know that you're a math/science nerd. ;)</p>
<p>yes Moodrets and DataBox, but even the math/science geeks don't have that high an average. This one guy qualified for the USAMO (since 8th grade) and is barely getting a A- in my AP Calc BC class the other USAMO qualifier(9th grade) is getting B+. We have NO curves ever.</p>
<p>Errrr, yeah, which is why I specified that we had curves applied to our test scores, lol. Without curves of any sort I would probably have a low A in calc and physics both.</p>
<p>a REALLY good grade in Calc BC for us is 95 and in an ap science is a 93. you guys have such bad grade inflation. ill remind u that 7 kids in my grade have perfect SAT/ACTs and have won all the awards that u can list...</p>
<p>mmm, first B in IB Programme... lol. That was fun. Gotta hate IB Spanish IV... (88% too!)</p>
<p>lmao. It's not too horrible though. (But they grade on semestre averages anyways)</p>
<p>lol, no, I'm not exactly a math/science nerd and am definitely not smarter than the people I referenced, I think the only reason I have an A is because I got lucky on the tests...that said, the only people in my Calc BC class that have an A are at least USAMO qualifiers...and we've never had a curve on any test...</p>
<p>^
This is the time where I laugh because I remember that my school will be offering Algebra II for the first time next semester. I can't even imagine having USAMOers in my class.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just heard of the AMC thing and lol, no one would be able to go past the AIME level imo at my school. Databox you go to an insane school; out of curiosity, are you #1 (smartest) in your grade? Your answer should give an indication of how insane your school is (since you're like the most uber math/science nerd, epic Einstein-wannabe I know of all high schoolers in existence ;))</p>
<p>DataBox, stop being modest. I'd count 145 or whatever you got on the AMC as "smart". ;)</p>
<p>I mean, with a name called Databox, you can only laugh so much and get so far...;)</p>
<p>Computerized, for that matter, too...lol.</p>
<p>^
I think it was like 147 because he forgot to bubble one. :)</p>
<p>Well, I'm going to sound like an arrogant loser, but I'm probably #1 at my school. You see, my school isn't actually all that great at math and science. We only have two USAMOers at our school. And there has only been one other person in the past 40 years in our entire district to make USAMO (he went to our school, and went on to get a gold medal at the International Math Olympiad).</p>
<p>And believe it or not, all my EC's other than math contests are non-math/science related (student/site/youth advisory councils, polo, swimming, mun, hmc, volunteer work, etc) and I'm going to be missing two math contests next week to attend a Model UN conference :D</p>
<p>lol it was a 145.5, since i forgot to bubble one, i was totally spacing out that entire week due to a really weird sleeping schedule...but then again, amc scores don't really measure your mathematical abilities all that well</p>
<p>^aww... you missed out on your opportunity for your picture to be posted online. :(</p>
<p>oh well, you'll probably get a 150 this year...your a sophomore right?</p>
