Didn't vote because I caught on very early that most you learn in school is pretty much bullshit. Unless you go and learn for some specific profession the things you learn are only taught so you can complete the exercises that you have to learn those things for.
This was especially true for Dutch classes, the grammar section had you dissect the sentences in an almost mathlike way, and you would never ever need that skill in real life. It's taught purely for the sake of learning it for classes. The only people that would ever need it professionally are Dutch language teachers, who need it to teach their students the exact same pointless thing all over again, just for the sake of learning it to learn it.
Same thing goes for almost every class in high school, most of the stuff you learn simply for the sake of learning. It's not till college and focussed profession classes that school actually becomes worth a damn.
I am currently in a dead end job doing grunt work (hauling tons of meat around in a butchery) and I've never been happier; simple work, simple people, and I'm simple. It's a perfect fit, and I never need anything I've ever learned in school.

The poll is kind of confusing. I did better than I expected I would, but I did just as good as I wanted to.
But yeah, not sure if it's any harder where you live, but here in England the exams are massively overexaggerated. Nowhere near as hard as they're made out to be. And teachers deliberately give you lower scores than you would have in your practice tests to get you to work harder. At least, they did in my school.
So yeah, if it's the same over there, you'll do fine.

Well going from nearly getting held back, 3 years in summer school, 4 years of speech therapy , and attempt to medicate with riddle-en to taking college courses in my last 2 years of high-school Ill say above my expectations.

I met my expectations, which isn't saying much since school is so absurdly easy. I literally spent 90% of my high school years asleep and still graduated with a 3.8 GPA. College hasn't been much better. Just replace sleep with computer games and it's basically high school on repeat, even managed to get on the president's list twice and I didn't even know that was a thing.
I got accepted to university this semester so hopefully things will start to pick up. Fingers crossed.

Ranked 7th in my class of 400, 32 on my ACT, all without trying at all through all of high school.
Heh, I'd say I did alright. I did far, far better than I should have, though I wish that I could have had the drive to push harder. Ah well. No regrets.

I had no expectation for school... I just wanted to be the hell out of there... high school anyway... no music program and no art program means it was basically pointless for me... I'd just show up and sit in a corner for 4 hours hating everyone around me...<.<
My only real goal was to not be there... and I suppose I achieved that...

I really hope so. Getting A-level results mid august, need A*A*AA to get my university offer.
I'm also on holiday when the results are out, meaning I really won't be able to enjoy the first half of that holiday, and I could be depressed for the rest of it.
Fuck the lead up to results, it makes my stomach flip thinking about it.

I got my high-school diploma when I finished my senior year, and I didn't expect that I'd get it at my very first run at it.
I half-expected I'd have to repeat my senior year because of all the red tape* I had to plow through, but turns out I didn't, go me!
(*seriously American government, exercise grade-based challenge with practical sense, how is that too much to ask?)
