This semester I did fabulous (a few points better than usual):
Theology: 96
English: 97 (Plus outstanding achievement award)
Horror Literature: 99 (Plus outstanding achievement award)
Algebra II Honors: 97
Chemistry: 98
US History: 92
Spanish: 107 (Plus outstanding achievement award)
Visual Basic II (Programming): 98
My sister, who's NT, always gets higher scores than me though. Plus my Theology teacher put this nasty little comment on my report card about my "work not being prepared by deadline." I've talked to her about AS and my related problems with organization and I got a 99 average for 4th quarter and a 100 on the final. Plus, she has no grounds to say that since I turned in nothing late this semester. It was crazy tough, but I somehow managed the impossible (somewhat organized papers) and yet she still chides me. *Sigh* I'm sooo glad I won't have her next year.
I'm quite proud. My lowest grade was a 92, which is still fabulous. That was in History where our final was to go out in the hall and talk to our teacher about American history (from the end of FDR's presidency until today) for 7 minutes, summing up key points. Ugh. Not only did I have to know the material but I also had to verbally articulate it while under a time limit. D:
And I got three outstanding achievement awards, which are only gven out to one student in each subject area.
XD
(Sorry for ranting so much. I never brag like this in real life, but I just had to be happy somewhere.) |

| I do not put much work into school but still attain high grades, I could say 2 hours reading on this topic, but basically the government have been duming down the syllabus for about 15 years now, this leads to obvious problems such as, our educated work force is not as clever as other countries. |

Not bad, given that senioritis had set in quite severely by this point. I'll post again when my AP test scores come back. |
 HOW DO YOU DO THAT? One of the main reasons I attempted suicide was that I put too much effort in school and didn't let myself breathe...and I have an 84% average!!! |
Some people just do well in school. Their brain fits the structure. You're much better off backing off and breathing than killing yourself over school (or getting a summer job for that matter). I know - I coasted through secondary school (7-12), got excellent grades when I wanted to, and none of it made me feel like I had accomplished anything meaningful. It was just hollow. I consider those years to be the absolute worst of my life. No real growth accomplished - just the ability to regurgitate the information they wanted us to learn. |

I have a 3.80 GPA in the past 5 classes at a graduate level.
I have a good amount of interest in the classes m taking because I see it as a means of using it to start my own business and getting out from the 'rat race' of working with and around a lot of people.
The grades I have gotten in College and High School seem to be directly proortional to the level of interest I have in that class at the time. My worse subject is English but one semester in HihgSchool, I became interest in literature and I pulled an A- for that semester in the class.
Highschool I averaged a C/C+ average
Undergrad, first 3 years, a GPA about 2.6 (Certain classes I was not interested in and other classes I took were notrelatd to my degree such as real estate law which I pulled an A-).
The next 2 years, a GPA of 3.05 (Interest was a bit more intense than prior degrees)
My last class I just finished, I had a 95.6% in Statistics. |

As promised, my AP test results for this year. They are out of 5.
AP Calculus-BC: 5 (also a 5 on the AB subscore)
AP Chemistry: 4
AP Physics B: 5
AP US Government and Politics: 5
AP English Literature: 5
AP English Language: 5
AP World History: 4
AP European History: 4
AP Psychology: 5
Combined with my four tests from last year, these results are good enough to earn me 63 credits- my advisor told me earlier today that I am basically a junior. I am disappointed in my poor result on European History, though, since I did study for that one somewhat (ie spent a week before the test to try to learn the material). My Chem score was expected; I never bothered to learn chemistry. World History I didn't care about, but was somewhat surprised to have done so badly on it.

Us non-braniacs would generally refer to those scores as "tEh r0x0rZ."  
But seriously, congrats!

Second year in a row not getting honor roll...I missed it by 1.5% 
I don't understand it...I know I aced the summative for English, and I didn't struggle AT ALL for the exam, yet I got 74%, and I had an 80% before the exam
*grumbles*

College I graduated with a 4.0 in my major, 3.88 overall average.
When I was in elementary school I did poorly for a while, failed several marking periods. I didn't learn to read until I was 7 and I didn't speak in school until I was 12. In high school it got better I was on the honor roll every semester. |

| Well for my GCES I was extremely undisciplined and lazy, unfortunately lol. Did 0 revision or exam prep, still managed to finished with an A star, several As and Bs and a C. Wish I'd been more disciplined since I know I could've pulled off much better results but I'm still happy with what I got especially considering what I put in. |

In most American universities, students earn "credits" towards graduation reqquirements- usually about three for a normal academic class, one credit for a lab, etc. A normal schedule for uni students includes around 15-18 credit hours in each semester.
