<p>When do you worry about your grade in a class? Are you one of those people who freaks if a single assignment, no matter how small, is below an A? Do you track your grade by quarter, by tests, every week....or do you just wait until everything adds up before you freak out?</p>
<p>Right now, I'm getting a C (82 by my school's system) in online Latin. It's a ninth class (from a normal 8) but it still counts on my transcript. Personally, I'm confident that I can raise it to an A by Christmas, when the class ends. But some of my classmates (and <em>ahem</em> my mother) freak out at one poor test grade. So what type are you?</p>
<p>I only freak out if I start running out of time to study or do a project. I'm very anti-procrastination, so I need all major assignments and tests done and studied for at least a day before they're due.</p>
<p>I worry when I start seeing lapses of me not being able to get into NYU because of my horrible freshman GPA which is an 84 at an equivalent of a 2.9/3.0. I'm so screwed.</p>
<p>I no longer feel any anxiety about my grades -- they're so utterly insignificant that I seem to have forgotten to care much for them.</p>
<p>I mean, a test -- hell, the final exam, even -- if completely failed (which rarely happens -- going blind into a test will usually net me at least a B), say, on the level of ~50%, will at the most lower my semester grade by one tier: from, say, an A, to an A-, which will in turn lower my semester GPA by (and this using 7 classes per semester) ~.05 points, which will in turn lower my Cumulative GPA by ~.006 points. Not exactly a big deal -- for colleges or otherwise, not to mention the years after during or after college when HS grades do not count for, well, anything, really.</p>
<p>I'm almost worrying about my unweighted 81 in AP lit right now.. lol. We're only halfway through though, and the majority of our grades are coming in this last half of the semester. I think it's fine, lol. My other grades are all higher than that, but still not greeeeeat, but I don't like worrying about things - what's the point in worrying? It's not going to help anything.</p>
<p>Freshman year, I worried to death about getting a B. I got one anyway~
Sophomore year, I gave up and had 4.0
Junior year, I started worrying again and came down with 3B’s and 1C
Senior year, freaking out once my grade drops below a B (or to a point that I can’t raise it to an A)</p>
<p>My parents:
Freshman-Senior year: Freaks out about anything (assignment, paper, test) below a 95%.
So basically, they’ve been freaking out a LOT. XD (har har…I’m such a bad kid…but oh well) XD</p>
<p>i worry a lot and basically overstress all the time. my grades are less than stellar right now and im frantically thinking of ways to bring them up. marking period ends soon D: I think I will only be happy if I had a 4.0 or straight A's. haha</p>
