Literature:89

English:94

Spelling/vocab(yes lol):92

Math:80

Social Science/History:93

Science:90

Wow those are amazing :) It seems like you're doing well, and If you don't get into a decent college then the system over there must be brutal :/
You'll get into a good college with those :)

Don't know how your system works, those numbers mean nothing to me. But If it's out of 100 (I'm guessing) then it's good!

Well the school I'm going to has a lot easier system 90-100 A 89-80 B pretty much based on 10.The on I left was like 100-93 A 92-85 B 84-78 C.Luckily my new school is looking at the numbers and not what my stupid old school said ^^.

I remember the elementary school I went to in Wisconsin had a similar system to your old school. 90-92 was a B. (percentage)

I think though you definitely need to get good grades when you get to high school, especially junior year. You're doing great so far.

Keep those grades up, and aim to raise your math grade. If you stay around that area your whole high school career you will not have any problem getting into a decent college.

High school will be more difficult, by far.
I suggest working on improving the literature and spelling grades now, and then taking an early admittance English class at your local college in your senior year. That is, if your school allows it.
If your math wasn't Algebra I, then I suggest kicking as and doubling up in your junior year to avoid it in your senior year. I took Calculus in my senior year, big mistake when I had the opportunity to take college classes.

But you're making low A's and B's. You'll be able to get into a college like that, easily. It's a 3.0 GPA; however, most people can pull a 3.0. Strive to improve as best you can and get as near a 4.0 as possible. Some universities, such as the one I'm attending, won't accept anyone with under a 3.9 GPA. So, if you want to go to the dream college, study more. If any college is fine, then keep it up.

Are these like primary school grades or middle school because you will find sqa (in scotland) or gcse (in england) exams are much harder and that ultimately what u have to do well in to do a major in biology at college/ uni you will probs need four or five highers (or english equivelant) with a couple 'A's in there.

Thats roughly how it works in the uk
Lol i havr no idea how it works in america tho :L
