[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the face of it, I would take it to mean that based on the coursework and tests to date she's been pretty consistently in the 90-92 range on average... which is great, but not strong enough to earn an outright A, so OP is wondering what supports might help her daughter boost up from A- to A level.

Unclear if the motivation to try and reach the A level is being driven by OP or OP's child.[/quote]

That's just a guess, an A doesn't necessarily mean > 93. It all depends on difficulty of the material and whether enough students are able to do that in the class vs what the teacher believes should be the bar for A, hence a bell curve. In most math/science college classes an A is much more generous than that (usually somewhere in the 80s or above, sometimes even less).[/quote]

This isn't college.

And that's just a scale. Teachers can decide to curve if they have a good reason, especially at TJ in college level courses.[/quote]
