Fast tracked: 12 Advanced Functions: 97 12 Chemistry: 96 12 English: 89 12 Accounting: 95 Current: 12 Calculus: 99 12 Financial Security: 96 12 AP Physics: 96 Next semester: 12 AP Economics 12 Data Management 12 International Business My marks are high but I don't believe my supps/ECs are that strong. They're above average at best. Because I fasttracked a lot, I guess stress is low, I'm done all my apps except Waterloo (AIF not out). I'm procrastinating on scholarships (by posting here) mostly because I don't think I can win any good ones. : ( I should be working on a Finance project, but again, here I am : (

Some people are just good at English, lol. It's an AP class doing regular English 12, so obviously marks are going to be high. The average is probably mid-80s.

The highest mark in our school for English is like a 92, maybe 93, but probably not. One guy got a 95, but that was in summer school. And we have some very smart people at our school.

Well, my teacher is really good and doesn't directly inflate (no corrections, bonus marks, etc.) so the only logical conclusion is that my school is incomparably more intelligent than yours.

Or you don't have English teachers who insists that 90s in English are unheard of. The highest I've ever received on an English assignment was a 93 (including a 2% bonus for early admission) on an essay which my teacher claimed had better writing than his own.

I think that deflation is a problem. There are enough teachers, like the ones mentioned above, who just don't "believe" in giving 90s. That doesn't make sense to me. Students should have the opportunity to get a perfect in a course. Since English is a language, and truthfully, it is impossible for one to get a perfect in any language recognizing that there is no such thing as perfection in it, we must still have the right to attain a 90. Else, there is major flaw in the system. If we spend hours working on something, and it still doesn't work out the way it should, it's practically known as BULL-CRAP (neither effective nor efficient) at least in my opinion. Of course inflation is a also a problem. But people are misinterpreting the point here. Person A = 84 Person B = 94 Rather than saying that person B's marks are inflated (bonuses, "free" marks, easiness in difficulty, etc.), there is a high possibility that person A's marks are rather deflated. Depends on how we look at it. Not to mention, I do find marks like 98/99/100 inflated. We're talking about language, aren't we? How would you judge Shakespeare here? Point: system is fkked.

My English course is about 80% tests (which include MC and essays) and 20% assignments (which are easy homework marks). The MC are manageable, and if you're a good writer you can get a 5+/6 every time on your essays. The average is about 4 though. I've gotten all 6s this year (the only one in my grade to), handed in all my homework assignments on time, and only gotten a few MC wrong on tests...hence, 98.

I always get 6's and my mark is probably very low 90's.. although there is like one or two people who always gets 7+ who probably has 99/100 right now >.>

my marks from my December Mark Update( Not inflated..reading from report card.)
Advanced Functions: 84
English: 87
World Studies: 93
Exercise Science: 95
AP World History: 94
Overall Average: 90.6%
so far doing alright but there is room for improvement....need to bring English to 90 or so and Math to 87-89 also need to bring World studies to 95+ as I have been doing nothing in that class...the other two can be improved as well....need a 2.5% higher overall average to get into my choices with a decent scholarship.....

The English courses in BC all have their essays marked on a six-point scale. Only about 5-10% of students achieve a 6 on any given essay.
