<p>bookznhoopz: The reason people say, “I’d be sad if I got a 4,” is because they feel they worked diligently to score well. Getting a mediocre score does not seem justified to them. I, for example, said that because I have taken Spanish for 6 years. I don’t believe 6 years merits a 4 because of all of the time I spent working to learn the language for the ability, not for the sake of getting college credit.</p>
