AllenA07 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 We do both American and World History, it just depends what grade your in. Now to be fair, I think that High School history is, in fact, a complete waste of time. We don't learn history as much as memorize dates, and pointless things that really will never help you at all. I could leave a long rant here about things like learning the preamble to the constitution, but not reading the physical document as well as my other complaints, but I'll save that for another day.

Homer Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 My last exam, Photography, was the easiest exam ever. I got a 96, but by helping my teacher do stuff around the room, I got a 100. So awesome. Also, I know my Algebra II exam is an 85, woo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm sort of confused here.. . but in the US does the school year follow the calendar year (eg start some time in Jan-Feb and then finish up in December) or do you start the year halfway through and finish half way through (So all you people graduating started year 12 at some point mid last year)?

nyanko Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Well, a minor victory, but I got the highest score this summer so far on my major's (Molecular Biology and Microbiology) exit exam that we have to pass to graduate. 50% of people passed on first try and I had the highest score. Fall grades: Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy: B+ (blah) Physics I: B (double blah) Microbial Metabolism: A Honors Directed Readings: A Molecular Biology I: A Spring grades: Advanced Genetics: A- (graduate course triple blah) Pathogenic Microbiology: B Pathogenic Microbiology lab: A Research Methods for undergrads: A Statistical Methods I: A Summer so far: Immunology (was only first 6 weeks of summer): A Immunology lab (same): A Undergrad Honors Thesis (defending on July 19): A Still have Molecular Biology II to finish and Physics II (Molec II is second 6 weeks and Physics II is all summer). Even if I get A's in both I will miss out on graduating cum laude by .03 points (ending up with a 3.77) because my major is full of pre-med overachievers!

Angry_Gumball Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Oh yea...almost forgot about my grades...hehe...Well, I survived my first semester at a University and got a 3.00 GPA: an A in History of Art & Tech, a C in Modern Art history, and a B+ (Very close to an A, an 88.8%) in my Basics to New Media class. I really wish that I had an A but 2 absences screwed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFreakZac Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I actually didn't do that bad: English-95%(Highest in class) Reading-98%(Also highest in class) Algebra-88% History-87% Science-95% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texashorns82492 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I did well on all but my Math, which I got a 68. What makes it worse is on the last day I went to say bye to my Math teacher and she simply said "You failed your math exam" in front of everyone. Piss me the eff off.

Angry_Gumball Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I'm glad I'm done & over with math classes. Statistics (Taken last fall) was a pain in the arse and a brain killer. Evil, very similar, formulas to cram into my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rileybrands Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Most of the teachers in AISD give end-of-year projects in lieu of finals, even in high schools. However, you still get the occasional class with a final. I got A's in all of them. I had them in Spanish, Algebra, and Health. I've heard about MCAS. TAKS sucks! Four days of ALLl-day testing.

dandaman Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 They don't really tell us our exam marks separately, so my 2nd semester marks: English: 84 Science: 89 Music: 93 Careers/Civics: 88 (That last one might be Canada-exclusive.) Combined over the entire year, my average was 87.5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odene497 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I had 4 regents this year, and I'm just happy I passed. Chemistry:67- I can't even begin to describe the teacher we had, the guy was a complete idiot, and I learned more by myself than from him. The whole year was spent mocking our teacher. I'm entirely happy with a 67. Math B:74- Our teacher was an idiot. The teachers were also upset at how difficult the test was this year. Global:73- I hate global. Spanish:87- A class I'm actually good at, and our teacher is awesome. Proof that the teacher makes the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kani Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I graduated eighth grade almost a month ago, but I still have my report card and stuff. One of the top three in the class! (Though they didn't rank us, I'm pretty sure I was second out of forty-four) Year Averages! Religion - A (92-96) ^ (parochial school) Reading - A Language Arts - A+ (97-100) Math - A+ Social Studies - A+ Science - A Art - A Phys. Ed - S (satisfactory!) Computers - A Foreign Language - A Synergistics - A I pretty much posted this to see if anybody else has/had the same grading system as I did (A+ = 97-100, A = 92-96, B+ = 88-91, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
