<p>I am only 0.12% away from an A...is that close enough to ask my teacher to round my grade up or would that be unreasonable?</p>
<p>I would ask if I were you. Or you could ask if there’s anything you could do to bump your grade up, like extra credit or finishing late assignments.</p>
<p>are you saying that you have a 89.88?..and is this for the semester/quarter/ end of the class?</p>
<p>you could try but I imagine your school has a policy on this…some schools cut off at 89.9 just to let you know; others at 89.5 or above…</p>
<p>I have a 92.88…and yes it’s basically the end of the semester</p>
<p>Haha one of my teachers gives me an 89.9 last quarter and I’m pretty sure he will this quarter too. I would say something but I feel like when a teacher leaves a grade like that, they know exactly what they’re doing.</p>
<p>I don’t know, if you’re chill with this teacher then maybe ask about that, but if you’re just neutral then, just personally, I would not.</p>
<p>Edit: Didn’t see that it’s a 92.88. Don’t. It’s not like you’re increasing a letter grade, it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>
An A- will lower his GPA by .01 points and look worse on his transcript. </p>
<p>It does matter. Ask your teacher to round up. You have the right to ask.</p>
<p>^^agree with wanton; didn’t realize it was an A- already; no I wouldn’t ask for an “A”…kind of grade grubbing…(3.7 v 4.0 for one class for one semester)</p>
<p>senior: it’s only for one semester…</p>
<p>
So? What’s your point?</p>
<p>lol! my school rounded up for .5’s ie. 92.5 = 93</p>
<p>^^if it’s not a final grade in a class, the student in question still has a chance for an “A” for the final grade if his/her average for next semester is higher than a 93.12 I imagine…the OP didn’t say whether its a final grade or not</p>
<p>It’s the final grade</p>
<p>
I think it was safe to assume here that it was a final grade.</p>
<p>Yes, ask your teacher to round it up. If you are a “good” student, then the teacher will understand you could have achieved that A if given another test or even another week. It’s not like it’s a whole percent.</p>
<p>
This is good. And on the last day, go up and shake his/her hand and sincerely say that you enjoyed the class and hope to retain the information. It will make the teacher think of you in a better light, if you haven’t already been cast in a bad one.</p>
<p>If you are going to go through with this, then I’d ask him about raising the grade in the context of maybe doing a poster for extra credit, something he doesn’t really have to read, but can just hang up to make the room look scholarly. My guess is that he will probably tell you that you don’t have to do that, but it looks better to demonstrate that you’re willing to do extra work.</p>
