How were your grades in school?

[VanitasFan26]

That’s an interesting outlook you have. I think school would have been more “fun” for me if the people I went to school with weren’t such bullies. That’s why I was so excited to graduation — because adults know how to act. I think the bullying was detrimental to my grades if I’m being honest. If I wasn’t so concerned with having to deal with them, I would’ve been able to focus more on the classes. I didn’t even go to college, though. It just wasn’t necessary for what I wanted to do in life.

I didn't care about my graduation I was in the mindset of "Please god let me out of this and let me be done already" School really hurt me mentally and to make matters worse only my parents were at my graduation and nobody else. (hardly surprising) and also my grades were so good that I was exempt from doing any exams. I don't know if its because the teachers at this school think I was "too smart" or they just thought the subjects that I did so well would be a breeze for me, but never the less at least I got it done and over with.

My grades were pretty good for the most part. I made Honor Roll a lot, but I struggled with Social Studies and Literature a lot. .-.
On my senior year, I made honor Roll the entire year. ^_^

The early years were fairly mediocre, but by about grade 5 or 6 I started taking school seriously and worked very hard to be a straight A student. This continued into high school and college as well. I think only one of my classes from each had a final grade of B instead of an A. Mostly due to the way the teacher's taught as I specifically remember struggling in those classes not because I was bad at the subject but because I didn't find the teachers helpful. I also always got A's in English which is/was my weakest and least favourite subject. So .

Now looking back I put way too much stress on myself to achieve those kinds of grades. Sure it helped me get into just about any school I wanted but I didn't end up going for a degree at a prestigious school in the end anyways. For the diploma I did end up going for a solid B grade across the board probably would have been enough.

I never did fail a class but I definitely dropped out of a couple (in order to change what I was taking). I also failed a handful of tests as well. I remember studying an insane amount for a Chemistry test in high school and still failed with a 45 or something. I was devastated all that effort just to fail it anyways. Ugh. Honestly glad I'm done with school.

My grades were awful. I didn't want to be there. The last two years of high school, I was on the A & B honor roll. I was smart, I just needed help.

I failed a few classes in college, but I'm back on track.

I was not an honors student by any means, but I also didn't get poor grades. I had strengths and weaknesses in different subjects. In some classes, I would get the top grade easily, but in math, for example, I would struggle to even pass most of the time.

I've never failed a class. I started to take school a bit more seriously towards high-school and now that I am in a college/university. There were times I've obviously struggled, but I just worked a bit harder to manage a passing and or decent grade. I think sometimes it's not always the students fault but also the teacher if they aren't challenging their students.

I know one of my HS history teachers never taught us anything on history. That class was such a blur. I still can't believe they managed to go through an entire year with us and not cover a single thing about history. They've looked close to retiring age when I was there, so they're probably close or gone now. So this teacher is obviously a great example of someone who didn't engage their students. I didn't fail, but like how could I? I can't even remember what they tested us on.

~2.5 ish (?) gpa in high school before i dropped out. 3.95 gpa in college. 4.0 gpa in university after transferring. ~median in law school because it's bell curved--i'm at a top 10 law school on a full ride scholarship and i already have a big law job for 1L summer, so i do not care anymore.

absolutely recommend transferring from college to university. i don't owe a dime for my education across the board and paid next to nothing.

I had a bit of issues throughout school. If I'm remembering correctly in middle school I failed a class and got a D in another class. My grades in High School were ok. However, in university everything started to go downhill fast. I started getting more and more Cs and Ds. I rarely was able to finish an exam within the period the class was given to take it. I was getting dangerously close to being pulled out of sports by the university. Long story short after my 2nd year at university I was diagnosed with GAD and suspected ADHD. I learned how to work with them and the university gave me accommodations for taking exams (a quiet room and a little extra time). My last 2 years at University I did sooooooo well!! I'm currently in the process of applying to graduate school for this fall!

My grades were usually barely passing. My mental health went down the drain when I was 9, worsened further at 15... I couldn't keep up with socializing, eating, homework, studying, or anything really when I was young. All my autistic + depressed self wanted to do was hyperfixate on things that were actually interesting and could be escapes from what life demanded of me.

If the course was an easier college level course w less demand I was actually able to do well. But I was stubborn and wanted to be normal so I avoided what was probably a better fit for me thinking I didn't want to look stupid. The classes I got pushed down in difficulty on were math and science. I got pushed down in math bc my teacher never explained anything and when I did ask questions I found it too difficult to understand him. And science bc I got really intimidated by the homework it asked you to do haha.

I really failed everything about school. No friends. Didn't want to eat. Hid in the library. Too anxious in gym class. No clubs joined. Struggling to keep up with work. Rarely studied. It's amazing that I passed rlly.

I'd like to think I'm in a better place now and may be able to do school provided they have disability supports. But it's still terrifying and being better than I was is... honestly a low bar.

My grades varried between subject. I could get Excellences in English, Art, Design, Photography, and Horticulture. But I struggled with Drama paperwork, Math, and Computer Science. My problem wasn't that I wasn't smart or didn't understand the work, I just couldn't focus and had a lot of issues outside of the classroom. Friend issues, home issues, anxiety, and executive dysfunction.

My attendance was the worst part, I only went 2-3 days a week, skipped Math for a whole year, ditched Drama and Computer Science to go to one of my art classes, but because my grades were good overall, the school ignored it.

(In New Zealand, Excellence would be an A, Merit a B, Achieved a D/C, Not Achieved a F.)

My grades were pretty awful all around, including the subjects that should have been guaranteed full marks for me (art...Why do the write ups count for more than the actual piece?).

I really didn't enjoy school and found it very unengaging. I've always been very "hands on" and learn by doing so to have what, 12 years of just being lectured on how to do things, it's not exactly worthwhile. I have learned far more in my years after school than I ever did in school for this very reason, I had to learn it myself by doing it so I actually retained the knowledge. Lets not forget the almost 12 years of bullying too. I'm not going to be very engaged in a place I don't want to be.

On the other hand, I've never needed to prove my grades after finishing school so it wasn't difficult to slap some higher yet realistic grades on my CV and make myself more employable...As well as showing my exam grades were pretty pointless.

 

[Robi]

My grades are pretty bad for English this year and they're starting to get bad for Physics. I did not do well last school year where it was full remote. The schedule really set me off and sitting at the computer all day just made me not want to do homework.

 

[Shiny Shiny Engine]

C, D And B's. thats it, i got a couple a's the end.

 

[RemMomori]

My grades were good in school. I had high Bs and As so I was considered 'gifted' and put in advanced placement English in highschool. I didn't have to study to get good grades on school so when I got to college i didn't know how to study and failed my classes. So yeah, did well in school but not in college.

 

[mogyay]

my grades were always good in school (all A/B) however i did take pretty easy subjects (maybe easy isn't the right word, but i basically only took social subjects like politics, geography, art etc) and didn't bother doing any advance classes

above is in reference to high school only, in uni i was extremely average !!! i got a 2:1, i didn't fail any classes or modules but i never really got super high marks either

 

[~Kilza~]

My grades were good. Prior to high school, I generally averaged low 80s (though Math was responsible for raising that average into the 80s at times, lol) without much effort. Once I got to high school, I managed to flip a switch, worked and studied more than I had before and managed to get high 80s and 90s in most of my classes (including a 100% in high school Calculus). University took a bit of an adjustment when I struggled more in my first year and had to develop better work/study habits, but I managed to graduate with a 3.5 GPA overall with almost all A's and B's throughout.

 

[QueenCobra]

I always did very well in school. I hardly had to study for things like English and European History. I have a good memory so those things came naturally to me. The Art History AP Exam was probably the easiest of my AP exams.

I have a learning disability in math so it was my worst subject. However, thanks to tutoring, I always ended up passing with a C. (High school) Biology was probably my worst subject though, as I had an F for a while. (During the photosynthesis unit, of all things.) I beat myself up about it, because I never failed a class and was terrified of the idea of doing so. I had to study a lot harder and ask for more help than I was comfortable doing.

I fell flat on my face in college at first but got good grades. One of my history professors stole my notebook during lecture and criticized me for taking too many notes. I felt horrible but then he did it to another student. I felt bad for the other kid, but at least I wasn't alone.

I never did like the social aspect of school, but I performed well academically.

 

[Corrie]

I'd say mine were pretty good. They ranged from Bs to As. However with Math I always struggled with it so usually that grade ranged from Cs to Bs.

Was it just me or did an A- feel worse than a B+? Lol

 

[Yoshi155]

Our school calculates it on a number scale from 1-8, are 8 being an A+ and 1 being an F. Mine were always good, because if I get less than a 5 (which is about a B-), my parents will be mad, and God forbid I ever get a 3 (about a D), you're not seeing me come back to school alive.
