[oddfish]

1.3..

umm.. if all else fails, Firecracker, you can be my personal ball washer when i'm rich! :D :D :D

[firecrackerNC]

Ooo sounds like a deal.

[Indecisive]

Shit man, you aint gonna pass HS with that.

[firecrackerNC]

Yeah I can cause I have 1337 4@x0r p0was.

[AztecWarrior]

According to my parents, I fail at life because I had a 3.7 last year, and I deserve to be shot if I get that again.

wow you have some really high expectations

[Corrosion]

A 3.0 would be godly for me.

[ChewyLSB]

Unfortunatley, my school is behind, and they don't use the #.# scale. They just average your grades out, and my GPA last year was a 94-95, somewhere there. I also don't know how to convert it...

[EineBeBoP]

A 3.0 would be godly for me.
Fear my 3.1 :p


If I ever got a 4.0, I'd be set for life.
The shock would kill my parents, and I'd inherit the (paid off) house.

[firecrackerNC]

My parents have really low expectations. I passed all my state tests in the top 3% catagory so they know I'm smart but they know school doesn't motivate me so as long as I pass they don't care. It is funny taking state funded tests and getting super high scores on them. All my teachers think I cheat and I even have to sit by myself so they know I don't cheat.

[AztecWarrior]

94? Out of what? 100?

By the way, the pic is hella funny.

[ChewyLSB]

Yeah, 94 out of 100. I don't know how to translate it into the #.# format, since my school never used it.

hehe

[AztecWarrior]

You? A math student?

Let's set up a proportion.

94/100 = x/4

100/25= 4
94/25: 3.76

Congratulations, your (unweighted) GPA is a 3.76.

[ChewyLSB]

You? A math student?

I'm ashamed... like I said, I didn't know how it worked. I actually thought it was a 5 point system, and 5 was the max, but then I also thought 1 was the minimum. Oh well.

[KarlMarxist]

2.0 GPA all the way.

[AztecWarrior]

Are you even all trying when you say that you have a sub-2.5 GPA?

[Mag]

3.87, Woo.

[AztecWarrior]

3.87, Woo.
For the win!

[Mag]

Yar, though it's easy when your school doesn't give homework, or anything remotely challenging.

[AztecWarrior]

If only mine was easy...prep school. Not only are teachers supposed to challenge you, it's all done to prepare you for college, i.e. they WANT to.

[KarlMarxist]

I get challenged daily, whether to piss the class away using TI-84 silver Puzzle Pack, or doodling, or twidling my thumbs.

[Mag]

Don't forget the laptops, those're nice too... oh wait. HA.

[firecrackerNC]

Heh dl new games onto your calc. I got a gangsta game where you sell crack, fight pimps and hire hoes. Its fun to play. I also dled a Zelda and Final Fantasy one too.

[eXoSloth]

:doh:

[AztecWarrior]

It exists. "Pimp Quest."

[KarlMarxist]

Yeah...I wish I had a laptop at my- oh wait...

[firecrackerNC]

Its stupid and I hate ghetto people and all but its seriously fun. Especially when a teacher asks what the answer I got on my Calculator I tell them I have 21 thugs and 30 hoes. They usally laugh and dont think anything of it. There too stupid to realize im playing a game.

[oddfish]

Tetris

that's all i have to say.

Tetris

[Mag]

Let's play some Tetris mother-fucker.

[OfaLoaf]

Bah, I ne'er download calculator games. Ans+1 for teh win! I've already gotten over 70k!

[KarlMarxist]

Oh, definately galaga for Calculators.

[JetRaiden]

try this with your TI-83.. Just keep running your fingers along the Sin Cos and Tan over and over and over for as long as you can possibly do it.. then, hit clear.

depending on how long you kept pressing Sin Cos and Tan the calculator will scroll as it deletes all the info from the screen. it just looks cool watching it.

Woah thur. From a quick glance, it looks like your average grade is around a B/B+. Is that really a 3.4 average?

[Derfud]

You guys are looking at mr 3.0 right here. It's like stealing your way onto the honor role. I'm the worst of the best as I like to say.

[Spee]

3.4, very lowest.

3.8, maximum.

Yay, blowoff classes.

[Mr1337Duck]

I usually get 3.5s. It's not that I don't get the stuff they teach, so much as it is that I don't care as much about doing the homework to get the grades.

[oddfish]

high school was such bullshit.

now, ACTs and SATs.. that's where it's at. those things can make or break yo' ass. ;)

ACT = 29
SAT = 1360

Believe it or not, i didn't do so hot on the math part of either of those tests. It was my English that boosted my scores so much. Top 2% in the country in the English sections. Analogies for the win. ;)

[ChewyLSB]

I haven't taken the SAT's yet, but I average around 780 on my Math section, so that's what carries most of my score...

[AztecWarrior]

My stated GPA is weighted.

You fuckers, stop derailing my thread!

KEKKEKEKEKKEKKEKEKEKKEKE!

[Rbstr]

I'm in the same boat aa aztec 3.85 is not good enough, and my mom has decided i play video games too much and even if i get good grades it's not worth the money to help me with college expenses(irrational and my dad won't let it happen, most likely), but also if i want to get out of state, and go to an eastcost university i basicaly need an acedemic scholarship.

Havent done my true SAT's or ACT's.

All my ACT's but writing were in top 1 or 2 %
My SAT's were in 80's but i attribute that to the insane early morning thing, and not knowing i was goin to do it untill 2 day's before.

[firecrackerNC]

All this talk of calc games and playing with calcs i went and got chess, poker and pong lol. Plus a world conquest game thats fun.

[Mr1337Duck]

Yup, that sounds about right.

[Derfud]

I have harvest moon on my Ti-83 :D

[firecrackerNC]

I thought about getting it. Is it any good or does it suck?

[Derfud]

Havent played it yet, my calculator seems to be mysteriously losing it's memory...

[firecrackerNC]

Yeah I cant get alot of stuff on mine. Like 1 big game or lots of smaller games. Plus I cant access my memory. Some reason when I press the 2nd then memory key nothing happens. I think I broke it lol

My State-issued writing test is so full of shit. I turn in an essay that I get an A+ on. Groovy. I essentially use that essay for use on my MEAP essay.

[UncleDynamite]

My GPA in high school was really high, but college is going to change that.

[Electrofreak]

my college GPA hovers around 3. The only problem is that I withdraw out of 50% of my classes.

[Kaltagesta]

We just have grades here:

English Literature = A
English Language = A
Biology = B
Chemistry = B
Physics = A*
ICT = A
Maths = A
RE = A
PE = A
History = A
Business Studies = A
French = B

They were my GCSE results.

[planethogger]

lol all this talk of weird calculator names and stuff is weird.over here in england we just have a percent of our hw/cw and stuff tht has been given and handed in on time and then we have our indavidual lesson grades. most of mine are aorund b/cs
which is pretty dam good for me.

[Triggar]

but they know school doesn't motivate me

'Cause it's obviously the school's job to motivate you. Don't you dare expect that from your parents, nooooo. That isn't your parent's job.

:rolleyes:

My heart breaks for your teachers. You're one of those kids whose parents call the teachers when you get a bad grade, blaming the teacher instead of you for being stupid and lazy.

trig, you have to admit that sometimes it is the teacher's inability to make the subject interesting that helps with the motivational problems. Albeit it is the parents obligation to their kids to try to do everything in their power to keep the kid interested in school. i dunno. the only classes i've ever had any motivation to take part in or put effort into are the ones that tap my creative or constructive side. math classes exept for Geometry always bored the shit out of me. as do pretty much all the classes i've ever been involved in. now, i'm in college, and i have to deal with lecture courses.. i never fucking go unless i know we're gonna have a test or a quiz or if they take daily attendance. i just read the chapters, read the notes, and then study for the tests. i'm not saying it's the teacher's fault that i'm not motivated, and i'm not saying it's my parents fault at this point. this is my inability to get off my own ass and sit and listen to someone spout shit straight from a set of notes for an hour and a half. that doesn't flick my switch, sorry.

i dunno. i'm probably going to fuck up in college somewhere along the lines and drop out only to persue my writing and film career via another channel. that's what usually happens to most people in this line of work anyways. whatever.

[Triggar]

Yeah but the difference between you and Firecracker is, you realise it's your own thing that you can't get into the classes - "that doesn't flick my switch" - and you don't blame your professors for the boring material.

I hate math, and yet I have to take 6 credits worth of it to get my degree. THink I'll ever be cruising along at 39,000 feet thinking, "gee, I'm sure glad I know this f of x bullshit" - never. But I still have to learn it. And just because I got a D in the class doesn't mean it was the professor's fault "for not motivating me".

I BLAME MY PARENTS!!! :tear:

[oddfish]

I blame Aztec's god. :D

[Triggar]

He's my God too you know, and biatch I was on the Dean's list my first two semesters of college!

[oddfish]

He's my God too you know, and biatch I was on the Dean's list my first two semesters of college!


my god's better.. he wears funny hats.

anyways.

Dean's list, eh? that's something i wanted to do when i first started college. but, i fucked that up pretty badly. oh well. never got anything lower than an A in any of my english courses and that's all that matters to me. Engrish, my life in a word.

[Infernus]

I'm not sure of mine... all I know is I got a 98 last year and was ranked 2nd in class... (damn asians).


As for calculators... TI-89 = win... I love it... I play games in class... its much better then my old 83+ Silver...

[ChewyLSB]

The essay is probably the easiest thing on the new SAT's.

And a teacher's job isn't necessarily to make the subject interesting. The teacher's job is to teach you values you need to get into college and get a job. As far as I'm concerned, every teacher I've had has completed their job just fine.

The new SATs don't start until March though... so you have to take it after march for it to mean anything as most colleges will only look for the new SAT not the old one.

I dont *totally* blame the teachers. But the fact that some of them all we do is take notes, do homework then have tests shows how shitty they are. Notes don't and have never helped me and all it does it put me to sleep. Also my parents don't bitch to the school about bad grades. Bads grades for me are Fs and if I get F they know its cause I didn't do the homework. Good grades are Ds and Cs and if I get those there happy. Secondly calling someone stupid and lazy isn't excatly nice and just pisses me off. Lazy yes stupid no.

[ChewyLSB]

What are you expecting college to be like? Or do you even plan on going?
