What did you get on the test?

<p>What did you get on the test?....</p>

<p>I don't really like to disclose my grades to people, especially when I get a really bad grade on tests and stuff like that. This is just my personality, some people might say what's the problem in telling people your grades so please don't. So what is the best way to tell people I don't want to tell you. When my friends ask me, they get really mad at me if I don't tell them for some reason. I don't even ask them about their grades. Sometimes I tell them I forgot, but I really know.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>honestly, I just say that I dont want to tell them. Most people are cool with it and dont ask again. If you’re friends get really mad at you for something as silly as not wanting to tell them your grades… then, who cares? They’ll get over it. And it’s not like they won’t be your friends if you dont tell them.</p>

<p>I totally got a 100 on my final math exam on calculus. B-)</p>

<p>But really in math, the class is small, and I didn’t tell anyone but just put the test on my desk flipped over (like, not showing) and then people took it and were using it to figure out what they got wrong and why. I’m like “whatever” usually, I just like math. In other classes the tests aren’t that big a deal, English are essays, same with spanish so it’s just kind of a letter grade and everyone does pretty well. History we don’t have a lot of tests either, mostly they’re also essay tests or discussions. I don’t have physics with everyone, took it last summer, but in biology it was kinda whatever also, mostly we did labs anyway.</p>

<p>Like, I get if you didn’t do well and you don’t care to say. But if you did fine then I don’t get why someone would act odd to that question, I mean it’s not that big a deal.</p>

<p>I like to compare test scores unless I did bad :-)</p>

<p>^same in math, because if I get something wrong I need to know what was right.</p>

<p>lol I’m the guy to consult for answers. But test scores I am usually pestered to tell, when after a while, I didn’t give a damn anymore.</p>

<p>Haha in my precalc class last year my teacher allowed for “test corrections”. If you correct your test you get 1/4 of the points you missed back. (EX… -16 turns into -12).
After every test I would look at the score, then give it to the first person to ask for it. </p>

<p>If you aren’t comfortable, just say “good enough.” And if they persist, just show that you’re getting uncomfortable and they will likely stop.</p>

<p>@puggly - same here.</p>

<p>I feel more comfortable showing my decent/ lower scores than my high/100s. Showing others my 100s just gets people mad/jealous and think that I’m trying to show off.</p>

<p>whenever I get a higher score and I keep silent until they nearly beat the score out of me, they’re offended. Then whenever I get a lower score, they’re all like I suck and am stupid. I think it’s a double standard.</p>

<p>Yeah, that was an exaggeration… people do ask the smart crazy guy for stuff.</p>

<p>The teachers in my classes usually announce who got the highest grade, so most of the time everyone finds out my grades whether or not I want them to know.</p>

<p>If I’m uncomfortable with saying the actual score, which usually only happens when I don’t get a score that people would expect (so I’m not embarrassed to say a bad physics score), then I just say “good” or “bad” and people can guess what that means. Usually though, I don’t mind, but in physics, I’ll probably just say that I failed rather than give an actual percentage. In classes where I always got the highest score like Art History (yes, I did check the anonymous, ordered-by-student-ID list to make sure I always had the highest score) I would probably just say an A, because I wouldn’t want everyone to know that I was so into having the highest grade.</p>

<p>I usually don’t tell classmates what i got, whether it is good or bad. I only tell my friends if they ask.
It’s really annoying when they ask what you got, and then you say i forgot or i don’t want to say. and then they keep nagging you about why you’re not telling them.</p>
