[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid got A's in both the quarters, she will not get an E in the semester exam even if she bombed it. Unless, of course she cheated to get the As in the first place.

And the Final Exam is a part of the grade that goes on the transcript.

What are you smoking?[/quote]

The final doesn't go on the transcript that goes to colleges

And you have to get a C or above on the final to get an A in the course, even if you got As in both quarters. [/quote]

The grades of two quarters (approximately 40% each, and the final exam approximately 20% - make up the full 100% of the final grade for the course.

The fact is that a good student who is getting As legitimately in both the quarters knows his material well enough that he can get an A or a B in the final exam without preparation.

Mainly because the final exam is not that difficult. So all the W kids who failed in the finals but had straight As in the quarters are cheaters as well as not very bright. [/quote]
