<p>No wonder you guys get freaking 4.0 GPA’s. The scale is a joke. AT my school, an A is a 95-97. An A+ is 98+</p>
<p>^ If that was our scale, I’d have all B’s and…one A…in Ceramics </p>
<p>lmao thats really bad xD</p>
<p>I have an 89.5 in precalc. My teacher rounds that up to a 90 but that’s different because of the .5. Knowing my teacher’s personality he probably would have given me the 90 even if it was an 89 if I asked but I’m not so sure he would have just done it without me pushing him to. </p>
<p>(this isn’t really A vs B as much as A- vs B+)</p>
<p>@coffeeandtea—
At my school, you’d be dealing with B+ vs. B+. In other words, you would get the B+ mark.</p>
<p>If your teacher isn’t a dick, then an 89.5 will be rounded up to an A- (supposing your school works on the scale where a 90 is the minimum for an A-).</p>
<p>@yalefanboy: A 90 would be a B+? That’s silly. Unless you’re referring to not rounding, in which case I understand. The teachers at my school are split 50/50 on rounding grades.</p>
<p>^coffeeandtea:</p>
<p>a 91 would be a B+. A 92-94 would be an A-</p>
<p>My geom was 89.47%, I got B+, not A.
My precal was 89.49%, still a B+!</p>
<p>I had a 92.9 in geometry and my teacher wouldn’t bump it to a 93 (an A instead of A-), she despised me for some reason. I proceeded to get a 99 the next quarter and a 100 on the final. Showed her…</p>
<p>The teacher that I had for pre-cal, and my teacher this year, will absolutely not round an 89 (B+) to a 90 (A-). My geometry teacher and Algebra II teacher would have done so though, mainly based on our work ethic, attitude, etc. in their respective classses. Some people are really by the book haha.</p>
<p>i believe the general rule at my school is 89.5% for a rounding. however, i’m sure there are teachers who will give “extra credit” if a student comes up to him and begs him or something. and then there are the teachers who will not round at all. and there are the teachers whose definition of an A is an 87% or something like that lol.</p>
<p>a b considering an a at my school begins at 94%…</p>
<p>^I am confused by what you said.</p>
<p>if i had a 89 i would get a B because an A is 94-100 a my school</p>
<p>^Oh i got ya. That’s just as bad as my school, a little worse.</p>
<p>how is it at your school?</p>
<p>92-94 is an A-, 95-97 is a solid A, and 98+ is A+</p>
<p>I’m positive that I earned a D in AP Stats first quarter and the teacher bumped it up to a C for college stuff. It’s just a very, very hard class for me. I put in four hours a night now, and have maintained an 86 this quarter. Will probably finish second with a solid B.</p>
<p>^Odd. Most ppl find AP STATS easy.</p>
<p>alright philosophical question: for these near grades, at what point is an A- deserved or a B+ deserved? Yes, a 89.49 is really damn close from rounding, but is it deserving of the 90, not 89? What about 89.45? 89.4? at some point a line has to be drawn. So, with CC being filled with grade concerned people, at what point does it really stop being deserved?</p>
