My entire AP Environmental Science class is filled with slackers [it is known to be a slack class] but we all found out that it isn't. Everyone has an 80 or lower, and only about 3 people have an 80. So basically most of the class doesn't even have a B. We took a test today, and like every other test, everyone failed it.
The final is going to have old test questions on it, which will be really hard because our teacher doesn't make the tests. She uses the college textbook for the questions.
My question is, how likely is it that she would let us all pass with an A or B? It seems like she would curve the grades so we would get A's and B's, but she hasn't curved any test/quiz grades all semester.

not only that, but she could get fired for curving grades and get in serious trouble with the school board.
the only way grades are 'curved' is if you have like a 79.5 or something the .5 rounds up.

So yes the answer is No. But good luck on you`r finals & I wish you the best! ♥ =) [ xo_minela's advice column | Ask xo_minela A Question ]

I really encourage you that you study and STOP being a slacker. It'll get you nowhere. I know I'm talking like one of those overly strict, lame, annoying Mommies, but if you want to pass school so you won't end up being a hobo collecting pennies in a rusty can, or a disrespected janitor, I suggest you do so.
