I finished my Geography final on Monday. I got a 92, the exact grade I thought I needed to get an A in the course. Turns out, I did my math wrong.

89.35 and his grading scale is 89.5-100.00 is an A.

Bummer.

According to my math, I needed a 69 on my fluids final to get an A. I got a 66. He sent out an email saying he adjusted the grading scale by 5 points, so I got my A anyway. Sorry, I don't have any good getting screwed school stories.

69 is an A? 69 out of 100?

What school is this - we want to get our son transferred there!

Heh... 69 out of 100, but that's 20% of the grade. I slapped around the first 3 tests.
