First grading period... I got an 88 in this class.

I think there were 3 A's in my class and only 10 A's in the entire course. I was happy with my grade; I knew I wasn't going to do as well as in the past.

I ain't trippin about a B, it is what it is. I'll try to bring it up next grading period, to at least a 90 to help out my GPA.

The class isn't really that bad. I came in expecting the worst, so naturally, I was prepared for anything. It turned out to be OK; my teacher gives hard tests and essays but she helps us out by grading our terms/worksheets pretty easy.

The year is still young; we haven't even touched DBQs yet and she basically helped us a lot because she knows this is our "first time" in an AP US History class.

That's it.

88 is in not bad, rather, it's pretty good. Since it is an AP class things are bound to be more difficult than an average class. My teacher's tests were harder than the AP exam itself, her homework was easy, and perfect essays were impossible. I ended with the highest overall average in the class - a 94.

Somehow I don't think that helped Ledatru's psyche....

well moreso it's very possible to get a 90% in AP US History. If you find you're studying isn't working, break it down into smaller bits before a test and study for more days.

I got an 81% for the first quarter. I have a 92% now and I'm bringing it up.

I have yet to hear about a class whose difficulty is not grossly overrated.

However, this isn't as over-rated as I expected it to be, but my teacher grades on a curve, so I'm sitting at a 98 by psyching out the competition.

We do a lot of multiple choice, so I also had to work on my guessing skills. Essays are a bit trickier, but I can usually just pretend to be excited about what I'm ranting on....

Yeah. The whole year's been a charade for me, more or less.

The second grading period is over. I don't know what my grades are, but I'm willing to bet that I scraped by with at least a 90 this time, maybe even more! She'll probably tell us today.
