My grades are sort of good. 1st Marking period I got mostly A's, and 1 or 2 B's and My mid-terms for this marking period grades were 1 F, 3 C's, 2 B's, and 2 A's. So i'm not sure. Can any of you help?
The grades that you get in High School could have a major effect on what you score on your entry tests when joining, so my advice to you would be to start cracking your books a little more so that you do not have to settle for the lower scoring MOS positions. If one of my kids came home with a F on their report card I would have a major one on one with them to clear up any type of selective listening phase that they may be going through. Don`t become a sh_t bird and let your parents or yourself down, turn your dads frown upside down, and if you need help with your studies don`t be afraid to ask your dad or mom.
