The Dreaded 89.x

<p>So I'm sure many people have experienced this situation I'm sure, where, in my case at least, a 90 is an A-, an 89 is a B+, and you have a quarter grade somewhere between the two.</p>

<p>Last quarter, I had an 89.3 in Precalc. Of course that didn't round up -_-
This quarter, I have an 89.1 in Lit. We still have some assignments that might make it go up marginally, but I'm not sure if I can get to an A-.</p>

<p>Yeah, I hate my life.</p>

<p>Don't worry, same annoying problem last year. I had an 89.25 for a final grade in Bio, and I got a 91 on my final. If I got a 92, one more point on my final, I would've gotten one more point for that term, and then 89.5 for my final grade, which would have rounded up T_T</p>

<p>I've gotten one 89.5 and one 89.6 in high school, both of which rounded up to an A-. But I definitely feel your pain being borderline like that is the worst.</p>

<p>ahh...I had a 89.3 in physics last marking period and this marking period its a 89.4...ah I suck....</p>

<p>so tmanneopen, did you end up getting an A for the year or no?</p>

<p>LOL Don't complain.</p>

<p>Some of us need a 93 for an A and a 96 for a 4.0.</p>

<p>Wow! We have to get a 93 for an A and a 98 for a 4.0.</p>

<p>If you see that as criteria for hating your life, you're doing pretty damn well.</p>

<p>I don't really care. if it happens it happens.</p>

<p>Don't complain. You didn't miss 0.3%, but 10.3 %.</p>

<p>Awwwww, 89 is better than like, 88 other possible scores. :) Don't hate your life lol.</p>

<p>aigiqinf, I'm not complaining about the numeric grade itself (we used to have a seven-point scale), but its the "so close but so far" aspect, and the fact that its a borderline from an A- and a B+. Not even half a percent -_-</p>

<p>Great thread....every single B+ D1 had on her transcript was based on an 89.6, 7, 8....and no, her teachers would not round up....they laughed at her when she asked.....</p>

<p>Excuse me? 89 is 4 points away from an A. Stop complaining.</p>

<p>Our grading program auto-rounds. It's great when you have that 89.5 that the teacher normally wouldn't round up. =]
Don't you people who have the weird grading have your grade recalculated by colleges?</p>

<p>^^^^^^^^^^^Nah, I didn't, wish I did...only B+ as a final grade</p>

<p>wow that really really sucks :(</p>

<p>89 and a 90 doesn't matter when it comes to an AP class</p>

<p>Lucky that 90 is an A for you... 100-94 is our A...</p>

<p>One teacher will not round a 89.92 to a 90. Blames it on the grading computer program.</p>

<p>It didn't happen to me, but the kid has asked every teacher "Would you have rounded a 89.92 to..."</p>

<p>That would suck.</p>

<p>yea, i know..it's ok, I just have to work extremely hard not to get anymore final grade B's.. (almost impossible, lol) I have a question though, we have 4 terms in a year. Would an unweighted GPA calculate each term or just the final grade?</p>

<p>^ and that really sucks</p>
