<p>Sorry, I’m not American and I don’t know what a “curve” is that I keep hearing about.
There being “steep curve” in the math section, or whatever.
What does it mean?</p>
<p>A curve is a non-linear line.</p>
<p>hahaha…
when someone says a test is curved it means how easily or difficultly they grade the test: which is based on how everyone else did on the test.</p>
<p>by the way, from where do you hail? (where do you live?)</p>
<p>Canada.
We’re useless; we don’t talk about academics in school, paradoxical as it sounds.</p>
<p>…that doesn’t make sense…</p>
<p>I mean we don’t have very high ambitions and everyone just goes to the typical Canadian universities. There’s no real talk about academics but just a laidback vibe that runs through my school. It’s like, “Skilled trades are okay!” which they are, but it’s not good for a school to emphasise skilled trades more than they do prestigious universities.
In any case, Canadian universities are no longer prestigious in comparison to world universities, so… whatever. I’m depressed.</p>
<p>Move! Transfer. Get your American VISA or whatever documentation you need to come to the U.S.A. and attend school.</p>
