Were you a high GPA student?

RE: Were you a high GPA student?
(August 31, 2015 at 6:30 am)robvalue Wrote: I'm in England, so we don't have GPA we just get results in each subject from A to F at school.

To get a GPA off the A to F system you "translate" the grades into a pointage system and then take an average. So if you took 10 classes and got eight As (4 "points"), one B (3 "points) and one C (2 "points) then your GPA would be 3.7 (4x8)+(3x1)+(2x1)=37/10=3.7


I was an A/B student and tended to be in the 3.5 to 3.75 GPA range from seventh grade to twelfth. Something clicked in me in seventh grade was I was bombing math (okay, I was getting, like, a C, but I didn't think that was acceptable) and I had this "What am I doing? I can do better than this!" moment and brought all my grades up to As and Bs. I got one of those stupid "give everyone an award" awards for being the hardest working math student that year.

Math was definitely my worst subject. It was the only one that would make me cry when I would do my homework because I would just get so frustrated with it. I have no idea how I made it through pre-calc.

When I got into architecture school, though, I really enjoyed my statics classes, which was basically the physics of static (unmoving) bodies using trigonometry, which I weirdly enjoyed. Then I figured out that math, when it's applied to something I thought was interesting, was kinda fun. But when you're learning it for the sake of learning it and you have no idea how it applies to anything and it seems completely devoid of usefulness or application, then it's the worst possible subject on the face of the planet to make me sit through.
