OMG this is so unfair, i'm upset now -.-

Just because the grade percentage needed is lower for them, doesn't mean you have more of a challenge..
You could need 93-100% for an A doing derp work, while they could need 90-100% doing challenging stuff.

Well maybe the work will be more rough and getting used to being in a new school, but I am pretty sure the grading system will forever be the same.

It's different in college as you pointed out Grad School's different too!

I really don't think high school is that much different than middle school class-wise/work wise etc. but then again I was always in the pre-ap classes then just switched to AP classes... Iono if you do your work high school is really easy haha.

It depends on where you go, I've had the same grading scale from elementary to college, and not all colleges are the same either. I have some courses I have to score a 92 in for an A, some courses also use a +/- scale where a 95 is an A, but 90-94 is A-, and that affects your GPA. And just because there's more room for an A doesn't mean you're going to get it. You have to realize that the classes are going to be much tougher than your little classes you took in grade school so having that grace percentage is something nice.

The grading system has always been the same since I was in elementary school. Its just the work that is getting tougher, which I don't really mind that much. Its just the grading system that bothers me.

Lol yeah, I am only going to school and making good decisions cause I wanna be successful, I wanna make money. I don't wanna live on the streets! LOL. I am doing whatever it takes to get my dream career. Too bad I have to wait for like 5 more years for grad school.

The college grading system has always been like that for me throughout elementary and high school. ^_^ maybe its different in some states

You mean University/College. Grad School is after your 4 year degree.

It's kind of annoying knowing some people are going to get a 4.0 for a 90 while I'm going to get a like 3.75. ;~;

Ooh I didn't know!

[Venus]

My schools were like that. HOWEVER, a lot of time college professors set up their own grading scale. In the end, it's based on the letter grade you receive because GPA isn't based on percentage

Emily...you're only in 8th grade. You really shouldn't be judging how challenging college is right now lol.
