<p>^Is an A- a 4.0 at your school?</p>
<p>I wish it was for mine. :(</p>
<p>^^^Don’t sweat it. I didn’t learn how the hemisphere system worked until 9th grade.</p>
<p>Geography insn’t my strong point.</p>
<p>^^Nah, idk what it is, maybe 3.7 or something? A/A- was first semester/second semester.</p>
<p>My 6th grade math teacher gave us “timed quizzes”, where we had about 5-10sec for each problem. He told us how much each problem was worth, and it came to more than 100 points, so I asked if we could get above 100… “Oh no, you can’t get above 100. But you can get below 0.” Negative grades ensued for several people. I can’t remember my grades, but I bombed one of them, managing to stay in the positives, though. Otherwise, he was a good teacher and got promoted the next year to head of the department for math.</p>
<p>I don’t remember my lowest test score, but I got a 72 on an International Relations test recently. Going over the wrong answers, I got half of them right at first then changed my answers. I’m going to get an A in the class, though. Plus, with my extra-credit paper, that can become a 92. I just have to not bomb the other tests.</p>
<p>i got a 20 on a states quiz…</p>
<p>I got a 50 on a states quiz… Oh wait, it was out of 50. :D</p>
<p>■■■■… :D</p>
<p>Failed a few AP Physics tests last year yet still got a 4 on the AP test…have no idea how that worked out. Guess I had some not so hot English quizzes back in the day too, as in D range, but that was 9th grade lol.</p>
<p>^AP Physics B or C?</p>
<p>I got a 22.5/50 on an assignment for French. Of course, the French teacher was a notorious liar and said he wouldn’t grade it. That’s why I severely dislike him and he’s one of the few teachers I will never trust.
On APs…APUSH. I got a 59% on one test, but eventually got a 5 on the real thing.</p>
<p>I got 13 AP hum geo first quiz, hahahahah though I don’t care, I have A now. You don’t have to take too seriously on each quiz. :)</p>
<p>Wow, some people here are hardcore geniuses.</p>
<p>I got a D on a major essay last year - I lost 100 to about 150 points because:</p>
<p>My teacher said that all of the notes, outlines, an official works cited, and the essay had to be put into a folder. I put the works cited right behind the essay and did not staple it. Since I did not staple it, according to the teacher, I apparently did not have a works cited at all and lost all of those points. </p>
<p>I ended up with a B- in the class. It was kind of funny that I got a higher grade in AP Chemistry than English, especially since English is my favorite subject and I love writing.</p>
<p>Our teachers give a minimum of C for essays as long as you try.</p>
<p>I think I’ve gotten D’s before but this year I got an unwelcome 75% C in my AP Economics class. Also a C on a French quiz. Not really starting my junior year very well.</p>
<p>Our school emphasizes “You turn in homework, you’ll do well” type mentality.</p>
<p>So screwing up on tests isn’t that big of a deal.</p>

<li>All the 10H Engish classes had to take a spelling test because no one could spell anything on the midterm. This is why God gave us spellcheck.</li>
</ol>
<p>^That’s pretty sad. Spelling is a skill that should be highly valued; I’m glad that the teacher gave a spelling test. It hurts my eyes whenever someone misspells common words such as “there,” “they’re,” and “their.”</p>
<p>^ I’m SO glad to know I’m not the only one who’s really bothered by that!</p>
<p>^ Agreed! I also die a little inside when I see my friends make the “your”/ “you’re” mistake.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oops, forgot to post my worst grade. The most recent one was an %72 on an honors bio test. It brought me down from a 99% to a 92% ):</p>
