Yes! Its very weird! Well Rosa, the fact that I failed to understand you has to do with the fact that I am a foreigner. I have learned much about the U.S.A ever since I came to Dinotopia and met many Americans here on the messageboards. But I will come across things I don't know and or run into culture and langauge barriers every now and then.  I heard of GPA before it was just never EXPLAINED to me. I always figured it was comparable to our CITO tests but the CITO is more like an IQ test which gets used on primary school tests, its NOT an average of past results... IQ tests are rather relative... According to IQ tests Einstein was below average intelligence... Well if I average my grades of past semester its a 7.4 on the 1-10 scale. I think that was the best I could give. I didn't even take Christmas off from studying. So anyone who with the same or a lesser amount of effort beats me has teh right to claim to be more intelligent then I.   |

Actually, to throw in more confusion about the GPA thing... I never heard the thing about it being based on credit hours. The way the GPA is decided by the two universities I've attended, and my high school, was that an A equaled 4 pts, B = 3, C=2, D=1 and F=0. Your grades for the classes were converted into the numbers and devided by the number of classes to get your GPA. Right now, at Franklin, I have two A's and one B, meaning my GPA is (4+4+3)/3= 3.67, which is a pretty good GPA;)

Mine´s not that high... I guess mine would be about 3.0 (7.4/10*4) Now WHO is the science nerd, hmm?
I don´t excell at anything, I can do anything I want if I am willing to fight hard for it but I do not exell at anything.

How did a topic about trying to guess my age turn into one about everyone's GPA? I'm confused!    *laughs* And you expect anything to stay on topic here? |
