How is your grade composed?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>At my school, it is school policy to grade students on this scale:</p>

<p>25~30% Quiz/Test
50~60% Homework/classwork
Rest= projects</p>

<p>how does your school do it?
moreover, my school lets us petiton bad grades with an exam that covers all the material from the year.</p>

2

<p>It depends on teacher. In my AP classes, tests make up A LOT of the grade</p>

3

<p>^ are you like following me? i post, then i see you right behind me</p>

4

<p>For AP classes, it’s:</p>

<p>Tests/Quizzes: 70-80%
Homework + Employability: 20-30%.</p>

<p>You can imagine the test anxiety I’ve had to endure for 2+ years.</p>

5

<p>i would much rather have to deal with test than homework any day. but i understand where youre coming from.</p>

6

<p>Depends. Most classes are total points (points earned/total points) which I think is the most fair method so that way if tests are worth 40% of your grade and you take 1 test, 1 test doesn’t end up being worth such a huge amount. Anyway, my chem teacher grades 40% test quiz, 35% lab, 15%homework/classwork, 10% participation. Math is 40% test, 30% quiz, 15% homework, 15% participation.</p>

7

<p>Lol, AP English this year: Tests: 70%, Quizzes: 30%
talk about stressful…</p>

8

<p>Math - 90% Tests 10% HW, with little boosts for good participation / extra credit
US History - ~60% Tests/Major Projects (term papers = 2 tests), 30% HW, 10% participation
Physics- ~40% Tests/quizzes, 25% lab reports, 20% HW, 15% participation
English- I’m not sure, but probably 50% major projects, 30% short responses, 20% participation
AP Spanish- Whatever the heck he wants to give us, since everyone fails the tests</p>

9

<p>In AP English second semester, Practice AP Essays were 45%, Practice AP Multiple Choice was 45%, and we automatically got the last 10% if we took the AP exam.</p>

10

<p>^haha. thats just a little ridiculous.</p>

<p>*i would much rather have to deal with test than homework any day. but i understand where youre coming from. *</p>

<p>You have much control over your homework than tests. Homework you can use notes, and can take as much time as you want to do it. On tests, you have a limited amount of time + more stress + no help.</p>

12

<p>

Tests - you spend classtime doing it. Nothing really wasted.</p>

<p>Homework, it’s annoying to do.</p>

13

<p>Varies. Only constant is that final is required of all classes and consists of at least 10% of your grade.</p>

14

<p>@Invoyable
SO TRUE!
why waste your valuable “me-time” doing homework??? Only place you should do work for school is AT SCHOOL</p>

15

<p>Every thread is getting hijacked tonight.</p>

16

<p>Depends on teacher, but for most of my classes something like this</p>

<p>60% tests
30% quizzes
10% hw</p>

17

<p>My AP classes are like this - 15% objective final 15% performance final ~50% tests ~20% other stuff like… quizzes. or projects or whtever.</p>

18

<p>Differs for each class, but for each non-AP class, the final counts for 25% of the final grade.</p>

19

<p>Differs for each class. Some are on point system, some are weighted into percents. Essays, tests, and quizzes and labs (obvi, each class doesn’t have all three) are probably 80% or more of the grade combined in each of my classes. Most of the remaining 20% or less is homework, and a little bit is class participation in some classes. Participation doesn’t matter in other classes. I’m pretty sure my French and AP English teachers randomly decide our grades based on… nothing.</p>
