<p>my parents don't even know how to read my report card, they just see a whole bunch of numbers for exams and quarters and averages and just guess which is the average because they're too stupid to understand it.</p>
<p>yeah forreal, 1.1?? An A in an AP class counts .036 here.</p>
<p>Yeah, got my first C ever this semester so I've been working my butt off ever since...
Biology 1 Honors-90 (1s Qtr.)/91 (2nd Qtr.)/89 (Sem.)
English 2 Honors-96 (1st Qtr.)/93 (2nd Qtr.)/94 (Sem.)
AP European History-96 (1st Qtr.)/88 (2nd Qtr.)/84 (Sem.)
French 3 Honors-98 (1st Qtr.)/93 (2nd Qtr.)/94 (Sem.)
Health-99 (1st. Qtr.)/97 (2nd Qtr.)/98 (Sem.)
Art 1-95 (1st. Qtr.)/98 (2nd Qtr.)/97 (Sem.)</p>
<p>So am I still in the running for the competitive colleges like Duke, Wake Forest, and Vanderbilt? Also, do colleges see your midterms and final exams because I always bomb one every year and it looks horrible on my report card?</p>
<p>Some high schools do not give out midterms or final exams. Colleges do not see them.</p>
<p>Even if they do, focus will be on the semester final average. I've seen several people in the past post on here high 1st quarter ap euro and much lower 2nd quarter. does it get really hard?</p>
<p>All IB classes...
Chem HL: 93
English A1 HL: 92
European History HL (in French): 96
Spanish ab initio SL: 100</p>
<p>Outside the timetable...
Choir: 100
Wind Ensemble: 97</p>
<p>shaddix and sarorah, m not sure what you meant, but i mean 1.1 as in, if i get a 99 in the class (like i did in AP calc), then when the average (on a 100 pt scale) is computed, my AP Calc score would be 99x1.1, or 108.9 or w/e. because the ap classes are reallllly hard at my school. oh my school doesnt do the 4.0gpa thing. its so nice lol. oh also we cant take more than 2 aps, because all our other classes are honors and so the GCs dont want us to die or anything</p>
<p>ok also ... Townsend Harris>hunter, stuy, bxsci, anything else :D</p>
<p>and you know it</p>
<p>I haven't gotten my report card yet. I think it gets mailed to us this week though</p>
<p>But I think I got:</p>
<p>AP Physics C- B
US Gov- A
AP Calc AB- B+
AP Stats- A
German 2- A+
AP Lit- B
Career Practicum- A (but it's a non-academic class)</p>
<p>So my academic GPA for the semester is about a 4.17</p>
<p>I'm scared to post my grades below all these honor roll students...</p>
<p>AP Calculus BC- A
AP US History- A
AP Physics C- B+
AP English Lit- B+
Vietnam- A
Morality- A</p>
<p>Weighted GPA 4.5</p>
<p>BTW, my schools scale is:
A: 94-100
B+: 91-94
B: 87-91
and so on, so no A- or anything.</p>
<p>So far Ive gotten into UChicago, GTown, BC (Honors), UNC-CH and Notre Dame Early Action</p>
<p>We don't do the A+/A- thing around here, so it's just plain letter grades.</p>
<p>2nd Quarter:
Physics GT - A
French III Honors - A
AP Govt - A
GT Chemistry - B (gah!)
GT Precalculus - A
Art II GT - A
English GT - A</p>
<p>Midterms:
Physics GT - A
French III Honors - B
AP Govt - A
GT Chemistry - A
GT Precalculus - A
Art II GT - A
English GT - A</p>
<p>Our school tallies together all our quarter grades and midterm/final grades, and then you get a "final" end-of-the year GPA. Those are the only grades that go on your transcript. As long as you get more A's than B's for one class over the course of a year, your final grade for that class is an A!</p>
<p>Subject: 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, exam, semester
AP Art History: 89, 89, 86, 88
AP Art Studio: 87, 94, 93, 91 (nice rebound, if I do say so myself)
AP Lit - 93, 91, 89, 91
AP Physics - 89, 91, 95, 91
AP Calculus - 94, 96, 87, 93
Religion - 99, 99, 93, 98</p>
<p>We don't weight anything. I'm pleased, even though it's the third quarter in a row I didn't make straight A's (after a 27-quarter streak). My cumulative average since freshman year only dropped .3 points - 94.5 still rounds up!</p>
<p>all of your schools grade on a 100-point scale? That's rough...it would be so much harder to be ranked high...</p>
<p>Honors Algebra 2 - A
Honors Physics - A
AP English Lit - A
Government - A</p>
<p>4.75 for that sem</p>
<p>Subject: 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, exam, semester
Religion I: A+, A+, A+, A+
Honors English I: A, A, A+, A
Honors Algebra 2: A,A,A,A
Honors Biology: B+,B+,B+,B+
World History I: A+,A+,A+,A+
Honors French II: B+,A,A+,A
Computer Applications: A,A,A,A</p>
<p>GPA~ 4.07</p>
<p>I find it interesting how most of your guys' reporting system works. Our report card only shows a flat letter, without any pluses or minuses or indications of percentages (otherwise I'd have a lot of A-'s cause I have a tendency to cut it close)</p>
<p>AP Microeconomics: A
AP Literature: A
AP Environmental Studies: A
AP Psychology: A
AP Physics B: A
AP Calculus C: A
Japanese IV: A</p>
<p>Wait are you guys just getting your last semester grades now? My school send them out during winter break (Though they waited till yesterday to tell us our ranks).</p>
<p>Anyways, here are my grades:</p>
<p>Pre-Calc H: 97
French IIIH: 97
Orchestra: 97
English H: 95
Human Geo AP: 97
Chemistry H: 97
Humanities II: 97</p>
<p>If your wondering about all those 97s, that's the cutoff in my school for an A+, and I tend to prioritize studying and such around it, resulting in lots of close shaves.</p>
<p>At my school 99 is the A+ cutoff, however I seem to get lots of 97s in the honors classes. Like, almost every honors/AP science and math class, was a 97. Lit, electives, gym a little higher. History and forgein language a little lower. But thats funny how you planned it so well.</p>
<p>98 is the A+ cutoff; if one obtains a 105 or higher in any class the student is exempt from taking the semester final.
We do not have ranks, nor do we use percentages. (I have only given these as a comparison.) However the percentage boost for an AP class is 10 over the normal level, and Honors 5%; a 100 in AP = 105 in H = 110 in G. In addition, all -'s are rounded up, and +'s are given the stipulation that if they earn the next highest grade the following semester both semesters are changed to the higher grade.
Thus:
AP (real) Spanish V: B, 85
AP (track) World Experience English: A, 90
AP (real) World Experience History: A, 90
AP (track) 11 Math Advanced: A, 94
AP (real, double credit) Chemistry: A, 92
H Wind Ensemble: A, 117
CP (half credit) Jazz Band: A, 100
Track courses are those that are given the AP designation because they are on the tracks leading to a senior year AP course.
GPA = 4.73</p>
<p>99? That's crazily hard, even our rank #1 only has a 99 in 1 class.</p>
<p>Planning out the 97s wasn't too hard. Our school divides each semester into three six-weeks, which weigh equally with our exam. So, if I did really well in one class during one six-week, I just don't spend so much time on studying for it/ doing homework for it in the next six week, or for its exam.</p>
<p>Midterm: Grr, I hate science
AP US Hist: A/93-my worst trimester yet
English III: A-/91.5
French 4h (AP): B+/~88.6
Precalc H: B- (ouch)/~82.9
Physics: B- (ouch)/80.3
Design/Arch: A</p>
<p>This is only midterm, thank god. My school does trimesters. I only have a terrible grade in math because my teacher's horrible (got 80 on PSAT math) and I have a terrible grade in physics because I hate science in every way, shape, and form.</p>
<p>My school gives like a .3. That's nothing, talk about grade deflation.</p>
