89.4 is the most irritating grade in the whole freaking universe. Guess who got an 89.4 in Physics last semester?

The worst part is that I got the exact same grade on my report card as the people who got 79.5. I hate my school system.

AP comp sci? What language? Java?
by Anonymous12 years ago
yepp Java :)
by Anonymous12 years ago
Nice, I don't really like Java that much, I prefer C++. So what other languages do you know? C# and probably vb? And how far did you get in Java?
by Anonymous12 years ago
oh my dad knows C++ and I've been teaching him a little Java, but I only know Java since that was all they offered at our school. Umm how far, thats pretty hard for me to explain since its kinda relative...but I have the basics down and quite a few details pertaining to it such as: iteration loops, arrays, ArrayLists, recursion, Graphics, that kind of stuff.
Where did you learn all your languages? independent study?
by Anonymous12 years ago
Nah, I took vb in high school, but as a computer science major I have to know Java and C++. I do tutoring for both classes. Although I am trying to learn Javascript... on my own.
If you're still in high school and you're interested in comp sci, you should teach yourself more languages, I mean once you have the logic down they're all the same. Anyways, when you're in college and applying to internships, the more languages the merrier! There are some scholarships, where you can't even get in, unless you know three or four languages and vb doesn't count .
by Anonymous12 years ago
oh I didn't know you could get scholarships for that! thanks for the heads up :] I just might teach myself some programming languages.
by Anonymous12 years ago
No, not scholarships. Internships. Internships are jobs you can get while you're in college (paid (comp sci gets really well paid, IF it is paid) or unpaid) and you pretty much work for the company you'd want to work for, if you were out on your own. It's like an actual job, like a career. Instead of getting a job at McDonald's or Burger King you can make triple that by working with IBM, BoA, and other well paying companies. The best part is, once you get an internship you have a good chance of working for that company once you're out of college.
AND that's not all, since you're a girl your chances of getting hired are greater. You'll notice that there aren't many girls in comp sci, so if a girl applies her chances are greater than a white males. So if you're a minority, your chances go up, if you're a female minority I'm going to guess you have the best chance?

:O thats awesome! :D yeah I was actually planning on doing an internship at my dad's work this summer. That's actually why I decided to take CompSci at school :] My brother did it and he made about 8,000-9,000 a month :) I could really use that for college

I once got an 89.92%
by Anonymous12 years ago
OH MY GOSH!!! and it didn't bump!?!?! argholifdsagofie I would go on a nerd killing spree!
by Anonymous12 years ago
That sucks. At my school, that would be an A. You have amazing self control, if that were me I'd have murdered somebody.
by Anonymous12 years ago
Dude, yes. Especially when they round 89.5 and higher up to a 90.
by Anonymous12 years ago
Or ya know, 59% when passing is 60%
by Anonymous12 years ago
98-99% always pisses me off. So close to that 100% damn it!
by Anonymous12 years ago
pfft if I got a grade that high, i wouldn't be whining unless it's the grade you need to have an A for the semester
by Anonymous12 years ago
everyone tells me that, 'sides, you know, the other 98-99% people.
by Anonymous12 years ago
lol those people are so annoying, but at my school that's about 75%-90% of the students. they're so overly competitive...it makes me especially mad when I get a low grade on a test/quiz and they complain about high A's D:<
by Anonymous12 years ago
Yesyesyes! I had to get a 97 on a chemistry test. Got a 96. It killed me! And 99s are just a metaphorical slap in the face from a teacher
by Anonymous12 years ago
Exactly. It's always the teachers that i feel that don't like me. Grrrr.
by Anonymous12 years ago
Yeah it's like I don't like you enough so I'm gunna be an ass and find something wrong
by Anonymous12 years ago
It's still an A and that is all that matters in the end.
by Anonymous12 years ago
Well, we can certainly tell how well these future people of America do in class according to what grade bothers them the most: whether or not it's a passing grade versus whether it's a hair from a perfect score... :O
by Anonymous12 years ago
99.4 is pretty annoying as well...
by Anonymous12 years ago
Not in my school system, on your report card an A is an A.
by Anonymous12 years ago
99% is the worst.
by Anonymous12 years ago
No offense, but I hate you people who complain about getting 99%. Don't take it personally.
by Anonymous12 years ago
Yeah, I guess. I'm happy I got a good grade but it's really annoying when you're ONE point away from a 100% so...
by Anonymous12 years ago
In one year I got two 89% and one 79%. That was the most frustrating year ever
by Anonymous12 years ago
Anything below a hundred is terrible.

If I get at least a 65, my mom lets me steal another bike.
by Anonymous12 years ago
I mean I'd rather get an 89 than a 79
by Anonymous12 years ago
I've had both 99% and 49%. T_T
by Anonymous12 years ago
92 for me. A 93 is an A. In my math class at the beginning of the year ALL I got on quizzes and tests were 92s. Literally the first 5 or 6 quizzes and tests. SO FRUSTRATING
by Anonymous12 years ago
At my school, an A is 80% and every A counts 7 points towards varsity entrance. At the end of last year I got 79% for both my history exams, 79% for my biology paper, 79% for my term mark and 79% for my year mark. SO INFURIATING
by Anonymous12 years ago
69% is the best mark...
by Anonymous12 years ago
97% was needed for an A in my school... 89% was still pretty frustrating, though. The 90's just sound better.
by Anonymous12 years ago
You need a 97% to get an A in your school? That's ridiculous! Why are you going to that school?
by Anonymous12 years ago
Well, it was a good school... Honestly, I think it sounds worse than it is, because most tests were graded on a 'slide...' Thus, many times the best score in the class would be like 93%, but the highest grade gets adjusted to 100% and everyone else gets that 7% added. It was a private Christian school so they kinda did their own thing. It was still pretty hard though and college admissions don't really take that into account when they ask for your GPA, so all in all it just left me a little more apathetic about grades even though I generally like my classes.
