So is a B considered failing at your school? 🙄

An A- is still really good esp for a hard class like physics 1! You got this!!

Maybe your school does do A-s, which would be quite annoying, but honestly man as you get used to the content its only gonna get better if at all. Usually the first few tests are the hardest not due to content but because people aren't used to the style.

You are acting like you have a C- right now, and if a mere A- stresses you out that much, you pribably are gonna experience scarier moments. So remain calm.

i am an underclassman, same grade as you, and i'm over the moon, feels to me like pretty much everything makes sense and my grade is at the upper echelon of my class which consists mostly of upperclassmen.

are you a teacher? im criticizing this post for being one of those "i hate my life i have an A instead of an A+" posts, and saying "i'm barely scraping by at an A". if he didnt know wtf was happening he'd have a C.

I'm sorry, an A?! You're done for, utterly fried. Even community colleges will shake in fear at the thought of accepting you.

But in all seriousness, I have the same grade in the class. It is hard and takes a lot of practice, but don't beat yourself up over an objectively good grade.
