Re: Grades

Took my ACT and got a 22 but I was in the 95 percentile in science so <b>I did really good in science</B> but I guess I didnt do too well on the rest of the test.

I see what you did there.

Re: Grades

In high school, I imagine I graduated with around a 2.8. I never bothered to check at the end of the year though, so I can't be sure(had a 2.9 going in I believe). Freshman year really helped out with that though, because I got all A's and B's. Then I gave up for various reasons. Stopped going to school as much, stopped doing anything school related outside of school and stopped doing a large portion of my homework. I had 50 missing assignments in my biology class. I just saw school as another way to catch up on my sleep. Also since others brought up the ACT, I got a 17 the first time but improved it to 19 the second time I took it.

Now I'm in college. I am applying myself, and am doing decent now. I imagine the best I could end up with would be a 3.0(I imagine it'll be lower though), but I'll be happy with whatever I get as long as I know I did best I could.

Re: Grades

Yes...yes they are. I'm sure we don't have tons of ACT perfect scorers and A+ average kids able to magically balance that act along with a healthy 20+ post per day habit.

You might want to re-read this thread, since not a single person has claimed to have had a perfect ACT score or an A+ average.

If anything, most of the posters here have admitted to being indifferent students.

He's probably referring to this.

I got a perfect score on the ACT test

High school it was 4.2

Re: Grades

My story is similar to some of the others I've seen posted here. After taking an Economics course my sophomore year of high school, I came to the realization that community college, despite all the flak it gets from everyone everywhere, was going to be the right move for my first two years of college. This plan worked perfectly in conjunction with the idea that I was just getting a little sick of all the homework and studying getting in the way of my gnarly high school experience (noted sarcasm). I finished high school with around a 2.8 GPA.

I followed through on the community college plan, then transferred to a four year university and finished my degree with a 3.4 cumulative GPA. The biggest problem I ever had with the community college thing was swallowing my pride. It was almost as if I always had to say, "Yeah, I go to community college, but I swear I'm actually smart."

Re: Grades

Like a 3.1 in high school. I didn't really try at all. I can hardly remember doing a homework assignment.


I've got a 3.92 in college.

Re: Grades

I have a 3.8 now. 4.5 weighted I believe in my senior year of HS.

Re: Grades

I had 4.25 GPA in HS, but it was inflated and it could have been better but I didn't try.

Right now my GPA is a 2.8 in college.

A 4.2 GPA isn't an A+ average.

Re: Grades

A 4.2 GPA isn't an A+ average.

Hence the probably. I can't know what goes on in his head.

Funny how you conveniently didn't comment on the perfect ACT part though. I suppose I probably wouldn't either if I told someone to read the thread when I obviously hadn't done so myself.

Re: Grades

I have a 3.74 GPA in High School, this is my senior year. I haven't studied for a test since freshman year, and it's shown. I got a 25 on the ACT, and taking it this Saturday to try and get about a 27 or 28 for some scholarships.

However, I'm taking Calculus at college, and it is a whole lot tougher than high school math. We move so fast through the material, and there are so many steps to know, it's tough to remember. I'm not the best at studying as I've mentioned before, but mathematics is (supposedly) my strong suit.

Of course it was convenient. I was obviously wrong to say that no one had claimed to have gotten a perfect ACT score, but JohnnySkin implied that tons of posters were claiming superb test scores/GPAs. He's wrong. More importantly, I don't find it particularly unusual that one poster would claim to have a perfect ACT score.

While I browsed over one comment, he browsed over the whole thread.
