EXAMS

[psychic25]

Yeah finals seem pretty easy if you know your stuff and can understand most of what they teach in class... 9th grade anyway. Finals for me at the end of January.

But (and I digress) what SUCKS is that at our school, they don't offer increased GPA's for Honors/AP classes. 4 for A. Nothing else. They probably have that at some of your guys' schools, too.

Haha. I got a 15% multiplier to my semester averages. So, if I made straight 87s for my entire career I would end up with just over a 100 GPA. All I had to do was make an 80 and I would get the multiplier. It ruled like nothing else. Although, the year after I graduated they cut it back to a 10% multiplier and lowered the required grade to a 70 (passing, that is).

Same, I'd have a lot higher if it was counted because I'm taking all honors/AP.


If anyone cares:

Honors English
Honors Biology
Honors History
Band
Pre-AP Spanish 1-2
Pre-AP Pre-Calculas

Pre-AP is basically AP, they just don't have any AP classes for the subject /shrug.

Last Semester had my finals. All wrapped up in a pretty bag. Now, don't be starteld at my grades, they're just grades after all. As my father explained to me, "It would be a sad day the day you bring home straight A's."

Orchestra - 100
P.E. - 100
Spanish - 98
AP English - 88
Solo Orch. - 100
AP World History (WHAP) - 93
Chemistry - 88
Algebra II - 91

To reiterate, my dad would kill me if I bring how straigh A's. I have to cheat the system some and live. If I wanted straight A's I'd drop FFR and devote myself to schoolwork.

Frankly, I hate schoolwork.

Q

[Squeek]

Hah, you know what's purely awesome?

My parents agreed to pay me $500 if I ever managed straight a's on the final marks.

And, as much as a genius as I am, I never came close.

IN FACT, I passed World History 2 with a 63.8%. A 64% is passing, and my school rounded up. I made C's and B's throughout most of my high school career, only to finally receive a report card consisting of grades 85% and up for my final report card. However, this is only because I had 4 electives (all computer-based) out of 7 classes.

I don't understand how finals are right now for you guys, since in our district, the finals are only in June. Midterms were in November. College finals were in November. January is meaningless here...

But, regardless of all that, here's what I ended up with.

CS112 - A- (The teacher made retarded tests with questions that had multiple answers and only promised to fix it for next semester; not give me credit).
HIST100 - B (Better than I've ever done in History. I'm very proud).
ENG101 - 100% A++++++++++++++++++++++ (I loved this course. The teacher and I ragged on the other students for their poor grammar).
MATH113 - F. F. F. F. F. (Primarily my fault for lack of interest, but I still hated the teacher. I understood all the material and still failed. His tests were totall unproportional to his lectures and I believe in our class, 5% passed the course).

C-C-Check it. I have no idea what finals I am taking, nor do I care due to the fact that I have become extremely lazy when it comes to school work. I dropped any class (that I didnt need_ that requires me having to think about something I'd rather not be thinking about. Thus, I only have 5 classes, and of those only 2 are meh.

U.S. Government (I enjoy this class, I just dont enjoy the homework/tests/outlines): The exam shouldnt be too hard. Doesnt matter really, I have a solid A.

Weight Training (Hahah, NO PAIN TO GAIN! GRUNT GRUNT, I HAVE NO NECK): I have no idea what kind of exam I will be taking in this class, though I have an A, so I dont worry.

English IV CP: It's funny, I couldnt take an advanced class due to my schedule (a year wasted in IB), so I am taking CP. We are learning stuff I learned Freshman year in Honors. The Exam: The proper structure of a paragraph and essay + Literature we read.

Art AP 2D design: I will most likely have to draw something...shocking.

Japanese IV: I need to study, though the test shouldnt be too hard...I still need to study though. I am not prepared to go to Japan this summer.

[dark_1203]

man i want japanese as a elective but anyways my test are gonna be beastly my school is like one of the top 5 school districts to be in there test are like impossible

[JurseyRider734]

Yeah. My finals start tomorrow. Actually my computers teacher started ours yesterday, where I am right now. My friend Leann is like "who is that to?" and I just didn't answer her.

[qwertyddr]

Highschool finals are a joke. Therre's no reason to study if you paid attention during the semester/trimester.

P.S. I have 4.0 GPA, by the way.

agreed. the only problem for me is...i dont like to pay attention in government, but other than that, it's all a joke.

[flypie743]

My exams are over today. We have a two hour delay, so I'm at home right now. Of course, I wake up at 6:00 AM and my dad wasn't paying attention to the news...

Yeah, can't wait until they are over.

[JurseyRider734]
