<p>Lol, it’s fine. I can relate to this topic though. I’m in Spanish and I find it hard to catch what my Spanish teacher is saying sometimes because she speaks in Spanish really fast. Though, despite lacking this linguistic, I still have a 104.17 in that class. Surely, this will soon go down because I just handed in a project and it wasn’t so pretty. Sigh, I’m still expecting Spanish to be my lowest grade. LOL but as long as I reach that goal, I will be fine.</p>
<p>I hate you people lol xD</p>
<p>THIS IS ME. I got a 5 on the AP test because I aced my essays. I didn’t know anything about all the other essay topics…but knew one topic from each part like the back of my hand. Kind of scary to think that I would have gotten less than a 3 if those 2 topics didn’t appear :D</p>
<p>Since we’re now relating anecdotes… </p>
<p>I got a 100 on a reading quiz without reading the book.</p>
<p>Lol. We choose to study or not. Our grades reflect off of those actions or practices. My Spanish grade is only because of the grade curve from participation points- nothing major at all. Yes, the real work has yet to come, but I will try my hardest to do great :)</p>
<p>@Preamble That was a question on the test, 1453 I knew that because on the first day he said we start studying from 1453 on because that’s when the printing press was invented, I have an ability in History that If I hear it once I can remember it at least on a multiple choice, (I’d be screwed with Free Response which is why I do bad on reading Quizzes, but they are like 10% of the grade and tests are 50% with essays and homework being the other 40% and I got a 6 on the first FRQ test of the year) The 2nd test I did the same thing and got a 37/40 before the curve I was 2nd highest (Highest was 38) so I got 37/37 on gradebook, and test today I got 39/45 which was highest in class which shows up as 39/36 in gradebook (2nd highest was 36/45) I was absent for a week during the unit to because of shoulder surgery so I did read a little on what I missed in class, but not that much. But I still aced the test on narcotics.</p>
<p>I do have a study group with friends, but it’s more of a group that copies each others work off one another so we can split up Essays and Outlines and that crap, but I don’t think it really helps me on tests.</p>
<p>There’s only about 3 A’s per class, a lot of people had there grades drop because they did bad on the first FRQ we did, and a lot of people failed the last test because it was on 2 chapters. I think he said the average % before the curve on the 2nd test (He hasn’t had time to do the one today) was 68%, I would think that this one would be lower because people did even worse on this one.</p>
