Just wondering what other skiers finished the semester with, I find it hard to do homework when you can ski. I finished with a 3.7 and managed to ski around 3 times a week. Don't know how but I did. WBU

How did you get an A in a class where your grade was an 86?

My undergrad GPA was pretty good. My grad school GPA is slightly worse but I'm trying to care less. I think people with advanced degrees who list their grad school GPA on their CV are trying too hard (watch, this'll be me in five years).
 
I got a 3.2 last semester which I guess isn't too bad for your first semester of college. I wanna get that up to a 3.5 though.

Our grading system works that anywhere from 85-89 is an A. This corresponds to a 3.9 on the 4.0 scale.
 
I want to hear from somebody in the square root club.

In case you don't know what that is, it's where the square root of your GPA is higher than your actual GPA.

i was wondering that too. my school graded on a 7 point scale so an 86 was a B- for me. And really, an A+ for a 94? da fuq?

this has to be the softest, most pushover grading scale I've ever seen.

Not necessarily. Low grading schemes with hard tests make for a far better metric of a students ability than an A+ boundary of 95%.

Here (UK) the grading works like: A (first class)=70%, B (upper second)=60%, C (lower second)=50%, D (third)=45%, pass=40%, anything lower is a fail. A gpa in the A region corresponds to 4.0, B is somewhere between 3.2 and 3.8, others are lower (obviously).

It isn't a pushover system to have low boundaries, because our tests are often ridiculously hard and impossible to revise for. You can't get over 70% just by remembering everything, you have to actually be smart. Only the top 15% on my course usually get an A, but because the boundaries are not moderated (there are good and bad years) this number changes.

Personally I think all exams throughout school should be like this. The people that do well should be the intelligent, resourceful people who can apply their knowledge. The people who do well at the moment are the ones who do the most past papers and learn how to pass tests/ answer questions the best, and this isn't a measure of how good you are at the subject.

This is how my school is. Its far less competitive than undergrad because we dont need to be better than anyone to advance to the next school.

Nobody seems to be killing themselves to get an A. If it happens great but the students with Cs will graduate and get the same jobs.

Once we get in clinic i expect it to be different
 
got a 2.9 my first semester at college which isnt bad considering how much i dicked around. this semester im actually trying though and i feel like im failing everything even though we havent even had any graded stuff handed back. thanks anxiety
 
When I was in highschool I had a horrible gpa, and I graduated via a drug counselors reference, and my principal being an ok guy. I'm seriously hoping when I save enough money to go back to school, I take it more seriously.

Fucking up highschool was not my best move thus far lmfao.
