It needs to be a personal goal: the desire to do your best, and to study hard to achieve that goal.  It does NOT mean lack of social life, but it does mean setting aside many hours for study, each week.  It means not putting off assignments until they are almost due.  It means studying on a daily basis, at least an hour, every single day. Do not distract your study time with tv, gaming, visitors... Do the assignments and reread them if you don't "get" the concepts. Redo math problems over and over until you can do them easily. Memorize formulas. \n\nIf you want your education to do the most for you, learn the material, don't just plod thru it.  And realize that it \ntakes a lot of time to bring home straight A's.  B's are ok grades, B+ is better.  The occasional C is tolerable. D's are never acceptable. If your grades are below a B average, try to get tutoring if you really want better scores.  There may be some study techniques you could learn to do better.\n\nBeen there. In high school, I plodded thru. In my first years of college, I plodded thru but pulled a B+ average. Once I figured out I wanted straight A's, I focused a lot more on my assignments and managed to make that goal.  \n\nIt helps to have good teachers, those who explain concepts and their expectations, clearly. The good news is that even if you have a lousy teacher this term, the school year is almost over, and if at all possible, avoid that lousy teacher next year.

An i.q. stands for intelligence quotient.  It is a figure which is assigned to you as an approximation of your intelligence as compared to a large class of people.  It does not mean that you are smarter or dumber than anyone else, but that you have been able to answer the questions of a multiple of subjects.  You may score extra high in reading comprehension but extra low in math.  It's just a number ranking you against everyone else.  By the way, 100, doesn't mean you scored all the answers correctly.  It means that you are average.  Review the meaning of a Gaussian Curve and you will get a general idea of what I mean.

It's definitely a way to measure kids intelligence... if not the parents. Some jobs required early learning.

your "intelligence quotient" is supposed to measure your ability to reason and your potential knowledge and thiking. or something like that. all it reallytests is how well you take that one particular test.

Think of it this way.\nLet's say those are scores of 5 people on a test.\nThe person who scored 5 was in 4th place, not 3rd.\nIn other words, there were three people to score higher, so that person is 4th.

i wouldnt be worrying so much about grades, but the content.  if they are missing a lot of key concepts and ideas that are appropriate for that age level, something needs to be done.  im an educator in texas and we have spelling activities every week, cursive is taught in third, and science is all year.  but there is so much more to school than those few things.  from what you have said, it makes me wonder what else is falling through the cracks?  i would contact the school board, the district superintendants, and whoever else you need to get this resolved.  check up on required curriculum for the state and see if this school/class is meeting those.

It means that they attend a school which goes through those grades.  For instance, an Elementary school is K-5 (Kindergarten throught 5th grade).\n\nThe term "K-12" is used to represent a persons general education (everything up to college).

The highest level means the highest level of schooling you have completed. In your case it would be high school. Any other classes you have completed\ncan be added as additional education.

It is a tier II , it is pretty good. The 80-99 is the top tier.\nMy son scored 99 - he is a Lt & ranger

It means he has a Class B CDL [chauffeur's driver's license] but is not certified to operate a school bus.  Now, I am not sure for AZ, but he may or may not have a passenger endorsement.  A class B usually denotes he can operate vehicles over a certain GVW [gross vehicle weight], but cannot operate a bus with commercial or paying passengers on it.  He can drive one around and from one place to another, but not charge fares for rides or charters--again, unless he does in fact have a passenger endorsement.  Another endorsement to look for is AIR Brakes since most larger vehicles use them.  Like any government document, sometimes I think they are all purposely designed to be a pain in the a$$ to decipher.\nTry going to the AZ DMV website, if there is one, and searching for things like license endorsements.  It may provide an answer as to what, if any, abbreviations and endorsements mean.

It is overused.  Too general.  \n\nIf you are a student receiving this comment, there is nothing to worry about.  Your teacher wanted to say something positive about you.\n\nIf you are a teacher, think about WHY this student is a pleasure.  Is it because s/he turns her/his work in on time?  Is it because s/he is agreeable and cooperative?  Is it because s/he is helpful?  Is it because s/he just sits in the back of the room and doesn't bother you or anyone else?  For parents, the specifics are more meaningful.  I understand that for teachers, it is the easiest way to enter a positive comment.  I used it all the time, except for the bad students.

That sounds like the WISC-III intelligence test, from the Wechsler series of intelligence scales for children. \n\nIf you child has an IQ of 133 that means  your child is in the "Very superior" (top level of human intelligence..He or she is in the top 2.2% of the World's People for his or her intelligence. \n\nHere are some occupations which he or she could expect to enter as an adult:\n\nIQ                 Occupation\n140Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.\n130Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)\n120School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.\n\nYou can read more about IQ at the link I provide you below. Congratulations you have a very gifted child.

This is an alternative to a high school diploma for those students who cannot earn a diploma/pass exit exam.  These are generally special needs students.  This has existed in Indiana for five or more years, since the inception of the 'Gradulation Qualifying Exam' given in grade 10. (and students have five tries to pass it).  Generally parents and students know by 8th grade if the student should be working towards actual high school graduation or a certificate of attendance.  These students are generally more severly disabled (most LD students are far too high functioning)

Aten's answer is good, but I'll add that a 3.4 from a state college is not a very competitive record. Most Ivies would not consider a student with a GPA below 3.5 even if he came from a top school. \nI'm not sure what you mean by suggesting that he is a strong student, because that GPA is not strong and you say he has no graduate credits. \n\nHe is going to have to do something more that show them the color of his skin to convince them to give him one of the highly coveted spots that are so competitive.  What has he got to offer? Some patents? Articles he's written in computer magazines? Talks he's given at computer conventions? Coaching his local high school computer team to a National Championship?

Hey, do your own work....that is cheating and you are cheating yourself..big time. The rate you are going your vocabulary level will probably stay at a 3rd grade level. Impressive. Try doing your PSATS for college with a third grade vocabulary level. Good luck!

I have never heard that before. My husband has a much higher I.Q. than I do and our male son is very smart. More so than I was as a child. On his Kindergarten placement test he scored 99% nationwide. I was a B student growing up and if I really applied myself could pull of an A or two. I definitely attribute his intelligence to his dad.
