What kind of grades did you get in school?

[MrFun]

My grades in some ways, reflected my self-esteem.

In high school, I was at a low 2.4.

In community college, I earned a 2.8.

Now at the university, I have earned a 3.3.


I guess it reflects my healthier self-esteem. I had no really good days in high school in terms of social life.

9 A*s, 1 B at GCSE. 6 As at AS Level.

High School was easy: 3.89 GPA, my HS didn't adjust for AP, I had 7, mustly with As

College was tougher: somewhere in the 2.5 GPA area. Maybe I drank to much or took too hard of classes or was at a really hard school. Anyway, none of the jobs I have applied for and gotten have asked me about my GPA, and I have worked for two very good companies now, both in very good jobs.

Which goes to show... GPA don't mean sqwat if you know how to get what you want, and are willing to go and get it.

Almost Identical to Clear Skies 6A*s, 4As, 2Bs and a D (my whole coursework got stolen, and I had jack to hand in... all on final exam) at GCSE and 6 As and AS Level.

CS: Do you go to a private school? My school wouldn't let me take 6, so it's all a little below board

102% was my best course grade, in Grade 11 Biology. I got a perfect score on the exam.

woot woot woot? how can you have more than 100%? I mean I always thought 100% was the maximum possible result (as 100% means you have filled in everything correctly)

Also, what about tests during the schoolyear? don't they count then?
And, do you have 1 exam period or 2 exam periods/year (or 3...)


All I can say to that 102% is: congratulations, not even the brightest kids in my school managed to get a fully correct exam on biology (or maths, or any other subject for that matter )

Private? No. Selective grammar, yes.

I can't say I had straight A's.

In fact I don't think I ever got an A on English .

I was one of those geeks good at math and science, but not good at English and foreign language .

I did well in history, goverment, and other social study classes as well.

Have they got rid of straight A-levels? Or just changed the structure to an entirely modular one?

A dying breed. I went to one too.

Baccalaureate style (a lot of subjects with a select number in depth) - final average 81%, which was supposedly equivalent to AAAB in UK A level terms.

You can still do A-Levels. But it's usually split into an AS (Advanced Subsidiary) and an A2 level, each one year courses, that translate into one A level. It is entirly modular (3 per AS/A2, 6 per A-Level) and coursework is not compulsory in some subjects IIRC... this caused much problems with Public schools that don't usually do it, hence some of the exam results fiasco.

I've never ended up with a C in any of my classes. I managed a 3.89 through high school with 4.0s a few semesters. So far in college I've got a 3.83 through 3 semesters.

[Bereta_Eder]

Quite good actually.
I was a geek with biology.
I used to compete for decimal points with a couple of others.
Grading system was 0 to 10 and at tests I would get 9.7 and the other guy would get 9.5 etc
Biology was FUN

[Bereta_Eder]

and the teacher was hot.

Before I did my overseas studies in Ecuador, my GPA would have been 3.9 without my transferred credits from community college.

Then after Ecuador, my GPA would now be 3.6 probably.


I guess I thought it was more important to get done in three years instead of four years. I get mostly A's but because of my decision to transfer credits, my GPA is 3.3 instead of 3.6.
