But I do have good news: I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico.

LEWS!

Uh, Lews, what was that bad news that we weren't suppose to ask about? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I got only a 3.8 out of 4.0 for my gpa. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />



SETH! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Me thinks Lynn is on a holiday.

@Lynn: 3.8 out of 4 is realy good IMO.
@Barta: Check the DD2 thread. Was just a confidence

Lews, you didn't not a 3.8 out of a 4.0.
Oh, that is bad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Well, look at it this way. You could have done worse. You could have gotten
a 3.75 instead of the 3.8. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Its horrible! I know... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> I could have done much worse, indeed, a 3.75 *shudder*

What is so horrible about 3.80 of 4.00? And what kind of a ratesystem is that anywhay?

And Lews, be happy, on the last biologytest I had 19 of 50. I had MVG (top grade) in main school...

Übereil

3.5 in an average grade of an A-, a 4.0 is an average grade of an A. We have the no A+'s.

I had 3.8, so over 50% of my grades were straight A's, then some of them were A-s, and I had one B+ ( *cry* ).





"And Lews, be happy, on the last biologytest I had 19 of 50. I had MVG (top grade) in main school..." How the hell is that possible? 19 out of 50 being the top grade? Eeek. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

We got our exams back, the worst I had was 2 wrong on an exam.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

19 out of 50 is a weak G (allmost IG <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />). I'm blowing the whole chorse... But on the other hand, I did just as good in nature sience (ALLMOST the same chorse...) and ended up with VG (for my essay on Hariisburg/Tjernobyl, which I choosed myself. It was the only thing I found interesting in the whole chorse...).

And Lews, grades isn't everything (exept when you're searching for university, then you need straight MVG to be able to get anything good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />).

Übereil

G? IG? VG? MVG? What?

I'm confused, lol.

Grades aren't everything? Yes they are!

@ Ubereil -> I don't get this one either. Would you please explain.

Does it have something to do with Good?
I have never heard of this kind of grading system before. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

@ Lews -> Here's wishing you luck for a straight 4.0 next itme. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, that would be real tough, but I'm tryin'. If I get over 3.5 I'm happy.

This system sucks !
In France the evaluation is between 0 and 20.
And there is no letters like A ; A+ ; A-
The letters also sucks !

Barta

@ Barta -> There are alot of us that feel the same way as you do Barta. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't understand why the schools here feel like they have to give a letter
grade along with the numeric grade. In some ways I think the letter grade (if it
isn't good) hurts a student's self esteem worse than the numeric grade. Why I
am not sure.

@ Lews -> I think I know what you mean. I always wanted that 4.0 too.

Shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

cuz the pressure in on to get an A ...B's just aren't good enough, ya know! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
If you don't get an "A" you suck! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


yes it sucks...

B's suck. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, Lews. You need those A's. B's only pull you gpa down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

@ Jurak -> You're right. The pressure is there to get those A's. And what happens
if you don't get that A?

I wanted my A's and I wasn't happy if I got a B and there can be alot of
pressure in that.

Shan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I know! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
