Do you do well in school?

Just curious how smart the people of giantbomb are. I myself am an average student who never goes the extra mile for anything. I almost got kicked out of school last year for fighting, but so far Im not doing too bad.

How about you guys?

I'm a B+ Student.

Not....great, but not bad =D

Yeah Jolly, you better stop fighting! >:|

I'm an average student. I could do better but I tend to procrastinate. Also, math and me don't get along, so I always do badly in any course that requires heavy math skills.

I got a 31 on my ACT. That's pretty much all I can say, other than that I don't do as much homework as I should.

I got a 32 on my act and my gpa is well over a 4.00. 4 AP classes my senior year... I guess I do pretty well. Pretty lazy at the same time.

I'm taking all ap classes and got 2 Cs. 1 for not doing homework and I don't know how I got the other since the teacher quit.

It depends which class, I really don't care much. I just go with things. I'm in Honors Spanish and AP Literature & Composition, I try to breeze through my other classes but it's not working so well. I'll have to get my act together.

I'm like a B-C student. I'm really smart but I just get lazy with homework and what not.

So it's whatevz

Pretty well, 48/361. That would be my Class Rank, doesn't sound like much, but I know I'm probably smarter than half of the people that are ahead of me.

Sometimes I just don't really try.

Naturally great at History, and Math. I don't really enjoy math, but every other year I do great (this is my off year, I believe, not good). Science is never my thing, and I actually like reading in English, but sometimes it hates me.

I did completely average because I never really got interested and skipped a lot of classes. And now look at me.

Moved to OT

Sorry, I had to point this out. One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone compares grades with intelligence. Being good at math, or science does not make someone intelligent. There is much more to it than that."

Grades can correspond with intelligence based that if you're smart, you'll want a good future."

Being intelligent meant I could turn up to every other lesson and still get Bs. Being a studious person meant that another guy I know got a few As even if in general he was a bit thick and had to do extra work most weeks.

Way Below Average. Like a C to C+ student... *Sigh* I did bad in gradeschool too.

2.9 GPA, i never did my homework, I got a 27 on my ACT test, I rushed though it too, thats 85%, I only got A's in all my History classes

Test dont really point out ur true intelligence because I know people who got really low scores but were smart if u talk to them, I've know people who act like complete morons but are really smart

Most revealing answer I've ever read."

I did alright in High School.

I do well in reading and science, I fail at everything else in school though. I was put in to advanced classes in high school for reading and science and i was still able to keep an A average.

i have a 3.1, it's hard

I was a mediocre student in highschool. But i've been getting good grades in college so far.

Yes i do pretty well, except maths, anything involving math i fail.

I'm average/kinda  above average.

I don't try as hard as I should. I get alright grades in everything but AP Literature. My essay writing is average/below average. And I can recognize the underlying meanings found in books. I like to read, but I don't care about why the author did blah blah blah.

I can do much better, I just don't want to put in the effort which is bad.  I still usually keep about a B+ average for everything.

I'm more of a thinker and much less of a doer. I'm content with that, for now.

I have a mid-A average for all of my classes, taking regular physics, AP Chemistry, H. English, and pre-calc. Will be taking AP physics or biology, AP German, AP Calc, and some social studies class next year. It's going to suck.

Well all I did in High school was procrastinate but I did good there...I got a 30 on my ACT and ended up with a 3.6. I got into Engr. school so I guess I am not that bad....not doing too good in college though...I am like a b- student here..

As an Australian I have no idea what "GPA" is, nor "ACTs". I'm in year 12 this year, final exams in 3 weeks. I'm on track for an "Exceptional Achievement" award (meaning across 10 Criterion, 9 were A's) in "Psychology" and "Religion & Philosophy". Computer Science and English Writing, I am on track for a "Commendable Achievement" (Mostly B's).

My teachers hate on me because they know I'm not trying as hard as I can. But to be honest, nobody really does. Rarely do homework, which annoys some teachers.

Meh, i suck at school work, its not that I find it hard, quite the opposite actually, all my classes are easy and boring, I just don't spend enough time doing the work and just do my own thing instead. I have exams coming up in just over three weeks, and atm I would fail all of them, but just like all the years before afew weeks of study should be enough for me to pass them all with reasonable results.

I'm that student who made it a habit to never do any homework or study.

Really biting me in the ass in college.

I got straight A's in high school. College is kicking my ass, though.

Straight A's at the moment, no effort.

As of right now I am having quite the easy time with school...no problems at all.

nah i suck

In high school, I just muddled my way through, but it wasn't until I reached college that I understood the importance of working hard in school.

Just to clarify, what do people mean when they say "College"? In Australian usage, College refers to year 11 and 12 of what Americans call "high school" (here "high school" is 7-10, "primary school" is 1-6). Is it correct that in American usage, it means "university"?

not bad, B+ average i think.

I think im pretty Intelligent, i just lack any real enthusiam.
I did well in primary skool (A in 11+)
Did shit in Secondary Skool, mainly cos i never paid attention to the teachers and got in trouble alot. Got Suspended twice, for non violent reasons.
My brief time in Tech aka College saw me getting every question in a test correct, the only person to have done so in quite a while i heard.

I should get all As(I did up through high school), but I manage to get a few B+s due to not caring much for those classes.

I do not bad but I just can't apply myself. Although what annoys me is that I'm good at the subjects which don't get a high budget (execpt for english but I can't take that because I had to retake Maths) for example My computing teacher would like us to do the multimedia project but instead we have to do the boring networking project because the budget isn't sufficent to buy the video cameras and other software. As for grades last year I got a B in Higher english a D in higher modern studies and an A for int 2 computing this year I'm taking Higher history, Higher Maths, Higher computing and higher business managment.

Anyone got any tips for getting into some sort of study routine or anything?
