What sort of grades do you get?

[l33t bunny master]

we don't use GPA up here in saskatchewan, canada.

I get mainly B's and C's, but this year is my Junior year so I am going to try and get A's and B's this year, I doubt I can do it though...

You guys all get an A for effort, or lack thereof.

Straight As, usually, except for Literature which I don't consider a subject, rather, a boredom increaser.

9As with 5*s, and I still wasn't happy.*

Is there anybody else who's not graded trough an alphabetical system ?

Moi, monsieur.

What is GPA? Grade Points Average?

Yes. GPA = Grade Point Average.

Mine works out to be about 3.8.*

But how does it work? I mean, you use As, Bs, etc, then you talk about numbers?

 

[B~E]

Bah, dont bother to ask questions about their wierd, twisted educational system, which must be screwed up, I mean, just look at their posts. They're just not people like us.

I mostly get B's but i do have one A, and a fuxxing D (god damn religion class)

The real question here should be something in the lines of: How much time do you study per day?

I'd be around the 0 hours per day. I don't like studying

As little as possible (i.e. not at all). If I do study, it's usually only for end of the year exams.

Also, the way GPA works is something like this:
A (in AP classes)=5.0
A=4.0
B=3.0
C=2.0
D=1.0
F=0.0

But it varies for different grade percentages (I think). But basically to get your GPA, you convert letter grades to numbers, add them together, then divide by the number of grades.

Hope that explains at least a little :/

The grading systems in Europe often have different weightings, so it's not the best measurement. For example, English Literature may have 95% A* but Computer Studies 80% (about right).

Which is why when someone goes to the States or Canada to study, you have to find some way of gauging their GPA.

As for studying, I do a little (like weekends) on stuff I don't know.

I just wish I would be demoted soon so that I can not link myself to this forum forever and get started on revision.*
