How in the loving world do you all get 70+%?
The best from my class had something above 80%.
Either everybody that isnt from belgium is smart or we have the most forgeted up school system in the world
I think the grading system is a lot more lenient in America, which is where most people here are from I assume.
My French teacher told us that in France people got lower grades because they made everything a lot harder  


I got 1 A and the rest of my classes were B's but tbh i really slacked off during the semester lol

Actually im with the average.


only reason im doing this well is cause i dont wanna take finals

Actually im with the average.
being average isn't all that good y'know

anyone going into sophomore year should load their schedule up with ap classes. take freshman year easy and get used to the school, then start kicking ass later.

gonna try and take 5-6 junior year, then finish with more later. perks of being in a school with 24 ap classes offered!

lets just say the school system is really forgeted up.
Is it also in the US you only get more then 75% if you did better then your teacher if they were your age?

:( my grades are below average for ap comp sci and ap physics.

None of these grades necessarily correlate to skill/mastery in those subjects when schools are given liberty to inflate grades as much as they please. That's the entire reason why GPA is less important in the college applications process than admissions exams like the SAT & ACT.

That's not to say that it's a good idea to have a thread where people post those scores. All that serves to do is abate people's confidence using something that doesn't show how good of a person you are or even necessarily how smart you are. Many people with very high scores on tests like the SAT are able to get them because their brains function in a way that is conducive to performing well under pressure and working quickly, not necessarily because they've worked the hardest in school.

So yeah, if you have good grades, congrats, keep it up. If you have lower grades because you go to a school with tougher curriculum and harder classes, don't feel like other people with higher marks are better students than you just because their percentage is higher.
