Done with my finals last week, I'm just waiting to graduate now and find a career that pays.

I have midterms now (inner child cries)

Post by **Femto** » Mon May 02, 2005 3:46 am

I'm looking forward to that, to actually finishing the next two years and finding a real job. It's a little scary too.

Anyways, next week is going to be insane here.

6 finals this week. I'm hoping to walk in a few weeks. Then hopefully graduate eventually.

finals naw, APs yes. Though i have only one AP.

Finals suck more because doing bad on an AP isn't that big of a deal. A final means taking the class again, and hurting your GPA, that sucks.

My GPA roxxxxxxxxxxx. :rolleyes:

But GPA just is something to brag about really. I know people that have graduated with GPA close to mine and they have gotten good jobs.

Not in my school... In my school finals are usually 10 percent of your grade. They dont determine if u take the class again.

I was refering to college Finals not high school finals. Though in my highschool they ranged from 10-30%. But my thing lays in my laziness, so finals is when I really have to shine, cause I generally don't for the rest of the semester. For an example currently my two major finals in real classes are 30% and 35% of my final grade.

APS THIS WEEK!!! AHHHHH!!!!!

DAMN CALCULUS BC!!!

Post by **Arresty** » Mon May 02, 2005 5:38 am

Yeah, AP test is important in its own way though. Can let you skip classes, but I was lazy and only took one, and then went to a school where you have to get a 5 on most AP tests to get credit in the sciences and maths. Considering a 5 is the max score, it was not worth me taking any of them.

Post by **Buzkashi** » Mon May 02, 2005 5:40 am

I thought 6 was max. And for UC schools you have to get atleast a 3 for it to count ....i think...

5 is max. they set the range pretty wide for 5s too, its like from a 70-100 percentile, but its still hard.

then next ranges are the worst, 4 is like 60-70 percentile, 3 is like 45-60 percentile, and 2s and 1s, i dont even wanna know

Post by **Arresty** » Mon May 02, 2005 5:50 am

They say 3 is passing but when I applied to schools most of them didn't accept anything less than a 4 in anything I cared about, and the school I ended up going to only accepted 5s in most except I think you could get a 4 on Physics C AP test, and they would not even accept the physics B one.

Post by **dos.azn** » Mon May 02, 2005 5:57 am

3 is jus nasty. if u look at it in a straightforward manner, 3 out of 5 is like a 60, which is barely a passing if not failing

if i get a 4 on this atleast ill be happy as hell

Jesus Christ, this is insane!

I won't be sleeping tonight nor tomorrow if I am to finish ONE of my final projects. This is BS...
