[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid just got his first test back and did well, but said most kids are retaking anything under 97 so that they can be sure they are in good shape in case the final ends up being hard.

[b]This seems like it is going to push the highly perfectionist crowd to insanity.[/b]

I hope the kids that really need the retakes are doing it too.[/quote]

+1 This exactly. My DS studied really hard and got a 22/23 on his first history quiz and was agonizing whether he should retake it to try for a 100. He had so much other work and I convinced him it wasn’t worth the time/effort for one extra point. But it absolutely sucks that someone who got a 60 or 70 the first round could potentially get 100 on the second round and seem to be a better student than my son.[/quote]

Sure. But a person who gets a 60 or 70 the first go around, likely is not capable of 100%. [/quote]

They normally go up about 10-12 points. (Teacher)[/quote]

And my A students usually only go up about 2-4 points. 5 has happened but is so rare. (Also a teacher)[/quote]
