<p>Hey dont give him credit for something he doesnt deserve^^^92 should be an A-.</p>
<p>Aside from that, I just want to let the OP know that an A- is worse than an A. People with A’s>you. You lose. That means you’re a loser.</p>
<p>Wanna know the reality…silver medals are awarded to LOSERS!</p>
<p>hahahajkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk</p>
<p>Most parody threads make me smile. This one didn’t.</p>
<p>I’m sorry to everyone I have offended by starting this thread and acknowledge that it was started in bad taste. Like several other cc’ers, I am guilty of being an overachiever and of stressing too much over little things. If someone else were upset over an A-, I too would think he/she was a bit crazy and that an A- was still pretty amazing, but at present I am in that A- position and can empathize completely with how those people must feel, and though it is irrational, an A- still seems quite disappointing at present–especially when everyone else you know in that class scored higher than you.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I’ll work on getting a life… after I get that A.</p>
<p>Wow, you have some awesome grade inflation going on there. I got the exact same grade on a math test (88 before the curve) a month ago and it was the highest in the class.</p>
<p>^ well I said “everyone else I know in that class”…as in a good portion did worse, but my friends in that class did better than me.</p>
<p>It’s a big lecture class, so I don’t know anywhere near most of the people in that class</p>
<p>You’re made of fail.</p>
<p>:) Lol just kidding.</p>
<p>Yeah, seems like grade inflation. I got a 71 on a macro test and that curved to a B+.</p>
<p>if anything, there’s grade deflation… I just hang out with the overachievers and therefore mainly compare myself to others of my group. which makes it extra tough to suck…</p>

<p>I’d say just do the best you can. If you can manage to get a higher score on the next exam, great, but if not, be content knowing you did the best you could.</p>
<p>The last time in life that I would’ve been upset about a 92/100 was in high school. But in those days, I would’ve even been upset about a 96/100 if I had reason to believe I could’ve done better. I used to worry about that sort of thing for days.
But I think I left that sort of anxiety behind with high school. These days I can barely fathom being like that anymore. I just finished a master’s degree and was very non-perfectionistic working on it.</p>
<p>Psh 92 on the midterm exam. Come on I definitely outsmart you with a 69.</p>
<p>Just drop the class. You are already borderlining A-. Don’t risk it. Just don’t.</p>
