<p>silverturtle- Because some people wants to argue that test scores are more important than grades, and even with studying, they can only increase ‘slightly’. Yes, I’m talking about kameronsmith.</p>
<p>Now kareronsmith, I don’t know why I even bother but here goes. Also, are we in a court room? Did you really take this debate seriously to that extent? Pretty funny that you would take a real life situation and relate it to an online discussion board, IMO.</p>
<p>And in reference to what we’ve been arguing about, was a hardworking student with a not too well test score BUT studied hard to increase it. Now, you said scores can’t be increased miraculously with studying? That’s a FALSE statement from what I’ve witnessed. On that same note, you were talking about lazy students so my mind automatically thought ‘2.0 GPA lazy’, not ‘3.7 GPA lazy’. In what kind of world does a 3.7 GPA goes under the lazy category? Anything above a 3.0 is pretty good, and above average. My 2000 and 2300 examples are pretty realistic- it’s actually 300 points apart. Now with the GPA, we’re talking about lazy and hardworking, so a 4.0 and 2.0 is what we’re looking for. Maybe a 2.5, but that’s pushing it. Just remember that in the real world, outside of this discussion board full with people with high standards, a 2.0 equals a ‘C’, which is average. Your perception of a bad GPA or a GPA of a lazy student, being a 3.7 says more than enough.</p>
