Bumping up your grades

[Diocletian]

Can you get your grades up if they're tanked at a low point?


I'm the knight at that. I've tanked my science classes many times & got them up to an A on the last week of the semester.

I realized the title is misleading. Scratch the title.

[Baka]

You stole my gimmick.


I try to not let my grades get low but if they do I just try harder or do extra credit.

[Eris]

In academia, you get grades only when you are finished with a course. So, this does not apply to me.

Usually, in Math, around this time of year, I'm lagging. But to my surprise, I have an A- I was like *gasp!*. But in English, currently... I have a C+. My parents don't accept anything below a B-. If I had a B-, then they would be like, "Ok. That's fine. You can work a little harder to get a B+" or something like that.

I do bad in math and science.
I currently have an F in math, and a high D in science. ( The rest of my grades are good. A's and B's. )
I don't have much longer until grades close, and my teachers do not do extra credit- sadly.
Anyway, I am trying harder to at least get C's or my parents are going to have my head. T_T

Ha, I'm a pro at this. I always slack off and rarely do homework, since I have better things to do at home and am too lazy anyway. However, I pay attention in class (Might as well since I have to go every day) Then I wait for a test to roll around, ace it and bump my grade up nicely. Finals and mid-terms are my saviors ;D

[sa5m]

Wow. I envy you guys who are able to raise grades up in the last week. D:

Since my classes have grades that are based primarily on tests (aka no homework), you have to ace every test or you fail. O_o

[╬Karami Mew~Meow]

Yup, sure. If I actually tried, then totally.
Though since i was in a room full of the huge smarticlez when I had 2 months absent in 3rd grade, of course I missed 1 exam, and took 1 that they just did also when I got back. Also when I got back it was studystudystudy 24/7 X.X My parents locked me up in a room >.>' Then, the highest I could go till then was only 11th place though. never reached top 10 then. I had great grades, but mi peepz in de room were uber smarticle, and studies more heartily than me x.x Disappointing, how i just threw it out, but that kinda gave me a break for all that so called pressure from mi parents o.O

If I know that the teachers accept late work then I will lag a while, if not, I actually do the work and get as much extra credit as I can.
I've been working hard this week and actually got my low C to a high C with one assignment!

[Souhi]

It really depends on the weighting of all the course work in comparison to the exam and how much I really even care about the mark. If the exam's worth 30% (which it usually is with my "important" classes) then I can bring my mark up at least a full letter grade. I'd have to really slack off to need that in the first place though.

I stressed myself to try extremely hard this quarter, since this is also my first quarter in college, so I pressure to get a high GPA for the first quarter to make a balance for the future quarters. I did good on the final for one of the classes, I got 93/100 but the I still got 3.1 for only this class. I know I did ok on my other finals, but it doesn't seem like my overall GPA will be any higher than 3.0...

[DOOM!]

Nope. If I didn't get good grades during the whole year, then it was pretty clear that I was born a failure.

[.Lovebeat]

I don't get my grades until I do the final exams and once my internal and external essays have been handed in and that's in 1-2 years, so this does not apply to me either.

[Lord Fluff]

My grades almost never drop below an B-. If any does drop below, it's usually about halfway through a semester so I always have plenty of time to bring it up to a B.

Geesh you dont live positivly in life do you?

I bump mine up usauly i am just passing my grade before exams and then poof i do well in my exams an i geting 70% in everything exept afrkaans<<(the dying languege)

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

Well i usually have good grades, but there's always one test paper that screws my whole grade up. And then yea,i need to work harder for extra credit,and i bump up my grade :P

[DOOM!]

Geesh you dont live positivly in life do you?

Agreeing to the fact that i was a failure, made me a ≤ mediocre student for 5 years. After a certain event, i got back at school and did my last year as an exceptional student. Silly me, all those years of mediocrity, when all I had to do was cheer up.

[MoroDashi]

Yup. Lock myself with work and WORK IT BABAYY!
LoL. I could work harder, ban computer (unless for work) etc.

Hah!
My mother says "try harder" even when I get an A @_@
(what she cares about is rank in my class D<)


I'm pretty OK with most, I'm just REALLY screwed when confronted by my Malay language subject D:
But in 2 years time, if I pass my 'O' Levels, sayonara worthless Malay language!

[Akihiko Yamamoto Hozagaki]

My school is nearly impossible. There is no bumping your grades back up. There also has never been anyone to graduate valedictorian. For a college prep school, they sure make sure you don't get into college.

[SSDynamite]

I don't get low grades :/
I've never gotten anything lower than a B...
