Didn’t edit it – made a couple of teeny suggestions.
Congrats MsRobyn and the rest of you kickass overachievers!
Sophomore in high school here. I’m pretty sure I have an A in everything except Spanish (A-, and I’m a year or two ahead of the average sophomore) and AP European History (B, and it’s notoriously hard). Report cards go home in late January.
I did a course through an institute that’s pretty much the Australian finance industry’s standard. No study, didn’t go to the lectures, didn’t read the course notes, knocked off the six-week assignment in an afternoon and still got a Distinction after the exam!
OK, OK, so I’m supposed to be the national expert on the subject matter, I only did the course for the credit points to count toward an accreditation and two of the six assignment questions and one of the exam questions referenced papers I wrote, but still…

This Dean, is he a nice boy?

I already graduated (in the Spring), but I got straight A’s my last 2 semesters.
This semester I’m only taking an Auto Shop class at city college; the final’s on Saturday. I should get an A unless something goes horribly wrong.
GPA: 3.538. Three As, two Bs.
For any furriners who may not understand the American grading system, here’s the standard:
100-90% A
89-80% B
79-70% C
. . .and so on. We’re not very creative.
Although if you are in certain programs, Jim, the grading scale can change.
At my school the journalism grading scale is something like:
94-100% A, etc. etc. etc. and anything below 70 is an F.
Sucks to be them, I say!
As I said, that’s the basic scale. It does certainly flucuate from time to time. When I was a sophomore in high school, my health teacher demanded a 96% for an A.
I think I did manage an A for that class, but it had to be right on the border.
It can even vary within a program.
Some of the professors in my program go with the 90-100%-A, while others go with the 93-100% as an A. It’s just something that has to be remembered when you are thinking about how you’ve done on each assignment and trying to figure out your grade.
I got my grades today. They are:
Sophomore Electrical Engineering: A
Ordinary Differential Equations & Linear Algebra: A
Intro to Music Theory: A
History of the American Economy: A
My first 4.0 since I’ve been at college 
(this is my sophomore year).
