February 7, 201411 yr I always aim to perform better than my peers (though I wouldn't really say I'm competitive..) As someone who is lazy, I'm very glad that getting good grades comes naturally for me.
February 7, 201411 yr Depends on the class. In terms of things outside of my field that I just need to take for a requirement, I generally just do what I can and accept whatver I get (though C's are the lowest I accept). When it comes to classes within my field, I go all out. I'm very competitive, and besides, why shouldn't I try my best in the thing I'm paying four-digit salaries to learn?
February 8, 201411 yr I always go above and beyond. I can actually get annoyed if I don't have an 'A'.
February 8, 201411 yr I always got bad grades when I was in high school but seeing my friends who had high scores motivated me. I tried aiming high as I can.
February 8, 201411 yr I always want to be The Best. Though I know it's not always possible so I am satisfied with just doing very well. Honestly, it really depends on the subject... but I want to be good even if the subject was boring and didn't really interest me. : P Yes, I'm quite a perfectionist sometimes.
February 8, 201411 yr I like to put my best foot forward whenever I can. There are some subjects, like math, where I can acknowledge that I am not fluent or skilled in, and know that I will never be scoring A's in it, but it's still important to do the best you're capable of.
February 8, 201411 yr I always do my absolute best. I'm really uncomfortable with getting less than an A in anything, because I know I'm smart enough to do much better, and because the grades I get now have a big impact on my future.
February 8, 201411 yr I aim for the best but it really depends. If its a language class I just try to pass, since I really suck at learning foreign languages. I don't even know how to speak my family's foreign languages correctly. If its a class with a bad teacher, I try to get an 80 or above. If its a class that is easy, then I try to get a very high grade no matter what. So far I don't take a language class anymore so I'm good. Global, Geometry, Health, Gym and Religion are easy. English is unnecessarily strict, the class is easy, but the teacher is really strict for no reason. Hurts my grade too. Chemistry is a lost cause, the teacher can't teach so I have to get help from my brother or someone else.
Do you aim for the passing note or higher ?
