So, this one has to deal with our smarts. What was your GPA last year? I think from what I've heard, most of us on here are pretty smart. So, let's see!

I had a 3.9, I think. I had an A- first quarter in Art, then an A- fourth quarter in Computers, due to my "listening grade". :| I think that if you still know the material, you shouldn't be penalized. Unless you are distracting others. Which I was, but they also knew the material.

Sorry about missing yesterday poll. :(

Mine is low for sure, but then, GPA doesn't measure intelligence (and my SAT score pretty much balances the GPA out, in a way).

What GPA measures is work ethic and things along that line, with a decent but flawed correlation with intelligence itself.

Just pointing this out, especially because the OP assumes that GPA = brains. Don't you know how many "gifted" kids are total slackers? :lol:

That definitely describes me, yet I still have good grades. It may not be the "be all end all", but it's not like you can throw it out the window

Since my education system doesn't use it, none.

I don't even know any of the grades for last semester because the school is so disorganized I didn't get a report card. Or first semester because I don't memorize my grades.

We go by a 5 point scale, for some reason, and I had a 4.08 for freshman year.

I'm going to find out what it is now, including my sophomore grades, on Friday, so it'll go up.

My school goes on a 4.0 scale for normal classes and 5.0 for Honors/AP classes. Last year I had a 4.43 GPA. That's 1 letter grade away from straight A's...

I want those damn straight A's this semester.

I have straight A's, and we don't have a GPA, but I'm guessing I'm 4+.

Homeschooling has a grading system?

Yeah, we score each test on a scale of 0-100. I normally get 95-100.

But, wouldn't that always be the case, since your parents are teaching?

No. Plus, only my mom teaches. My dad, you know, works.
