[quote=jhoijhoi]45% is normally the pass if a lot of people did poorly - so like graded scaling; this is university though. In high school 40% would be a D, which isn't a pass.[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce][quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I memorize information incredibly easily, especially facts. I'm also the kind of person who thinks needless repetitive work is, well, pointless. If I've proven to you I can do something, there's no need for you to make ME prove that 5 more times just because other people in the class can't do it properly yet. It's not my fault other mere mortals aren't as brilliant as I am. 8D[/quote] Really? Even years or formulas? Darn D: I usually get 90% of the lecture memorized in class unless its either history or maths =D Funnily enough, I find physics and everything related to it ridicilously easy compared to maths... which is just solving random equations with basically no substance :c[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Oh yes...years are so easy. so so easy. there's a reason I was on my high school's knowledge bowl team.[/quote]

I have the same thing though, I can read a biology or history chapter and instantly remember anything, I eventually dropped history though; wasn't my thing up until a few years ago actually. Funny because I mathematics more than physics; can't get more pure than that.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I prefer biology and chemistry to math and physics. I'm good at math, I just dislike it.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I'm good at math, I just dislike it.[/quote] I'm not sure if we can still be friends.[/quote]

I especially have difficulty remembering the binomial and Trinomial related formulas for longer periods of time and easily get them confused with each-other ( and deriving them isn't exactly an option because if the teacher sees you did that you'll most likely get an instant fail 8DDD). EDIT: This probably has SOMETHING to do with the fact that I hate maths to the bone I usually ace tests whenever it's logic>practice in order of importance but otherwise.... welp, let's just say maths was my only B at the end of the year ;_; I could probably ace it if I practiced more than 10 minutes everyday while doing homework but eh yolo [quote = The_Nameless_Bard]Oh yes...years are so easy. so so easy. there's a reason I was on my high school's knowledge bowl team.[/quote] wtf how I can't remember years properly unless they're either extremely important or are in some sort of sequence which correlates to a sequence of events. i.e something happened in 1934, 5 years later a bowl of ketchup imploded[/quote]
