MikeCT you seem to be looking at the world from an idealistic perspective. That's not real life. PreCalc is nothing. Come back and talk to us when you are in Diff Equ. I'm guessing that the PE (professional engineer, I think) test that Vash mentioned is quite different than precalc tests, and probably much more important.

You may feel like you know everything now and you can get every problem perfect every time and everyone else should be able to as well, but it's not always going to be like that.

Grades and schooling and the way that they relate to life are much different now than they once were. Grades certainly can be very important these days.
