How are your grades so far?

Perfect Stu · 11-10-2003, 07:03 PM

3 grades for 3 courses. One of my buddies (he's a year older) is only taking 2 courses, the school is letting him because he has enough credits to Graduate, he just wants to boost his marks in a couple courses.

How long are each of your courses? Mine are 80 minutes...

And I don't even know if I'm gonna graduate this year...I probably won't. But in either case, I still can be eligible to go to University, diploma or not. It's a loophole that works like this:

-18+ years of age (which I will be before next school year)
-Scholarship
-Good enough grades in basic subjects like English and Math (I always get 80-90 in English, and 90+ in Math)

So yeah...that's why I'm taking 3 courses. 4 is a full schedule in Ontario.

80 minute classes! :eek:

I couldn't sit in a class for that long, lol.

Our classes are only 50 minutes and that's bad enough.

That explains the difference in schedule...and you're probably going to have to sit through classes longer than 80 minutes if you're going to University...yep

How is that possible?

The highest you can have is a 4.0, unless your taking AP (Advanced Placement) classes, in which each grade is worth one more point than a normal grade of that letter.

For example, my GPA is 4.25, because Im taking an AP class, and I have an A in it, but how do you have a 12?????

GPA scales are different everywhere.

At the college I'm going to right now, the GPA scale is out of 4.0. Last year it was out of 9.0. Other places will be different, it just depends on the school.

World History - 73 (D+)
Algebra 2 - 82 (B)
English - 80 (B)
Biology - 80 (B)
Health - 93 (A)

I'm rather disappointed with my grades right. My GPA is only a 3.27

. But... I just stopped caring.

Overall GPA of 12.

My school was forced to go to a 12 points grading system because the competition for valid victorian was so tight. This is how it works out:

12 = A+
11 = A
10 = A-
9 = B+
8 = B
7 = B-
etc.

It's harder than a 4.0 GPA scale... the ranges are something like:

A+ = 100-98
A = 97-95
A- = 94-93
B+ = 92-91

It also sucks because Honors classes are graded the same way as normal classes are...

EDIT: on my scale Jason wouldn't have a 12, I suppose on his he does though.

Yeah, my scale is the same way, only we don't have minus grades A+ is a 97-100 A is a 93-96, B+ 89-92, etc. Anything below a 70 is failing but the GPA weight is messy too. If you get an A in a College Prep class, it's worth 4. An A an Honors class is worth 4.5 and in an AP class it's worth 5 (In a PX/GS class it's worth 3.5)

But anyhoo.

Sociology - 96
H German - 99 (actually, I think it's like 103, but the printout only goes to 99, I don't know why they don't just put 03)
H Government 87
AP English 92

<-------------Nerd alert!

99.5%-- Stage Band 12 (Jazz Band 12)
98%-- Concert Band 12
96%-- English 12
93%-- French 12
88%-- Principles of Math 12

Next semester, I'm taking...
Stage Band 12
Concert Band 12
Geography 12
Computer Science 12
Information Technology 12
Geology 12

That adds up to.. 9 courses.

My friend in French 12 is getting 100.3% in the course. :P Ah, bonus marks.. the sweetest thing..

Our grading system is like that.

A+ = 99-100
A = 94-98
A- = 92=93
B+ = 90-91
B = 85-89
B- = 83-84

and so on..
