I studied so hard on a final, literally for about hours, and I got a 79% or C+what should I tell my parents?

Question

I really did study hard, thought I knew all the material, and wanted the A on the final to boost my grade to a 90% overall. My parents don't know but when they find out they'll be pretty mad, what should I do/say? And what did I do to get a bad grade? My parents are very serious when it comes to grades so C=Bad.

Answer 1

If your parents are hard-crack grade addicts, they will probably be angry with your C+. Telling your parents that you studied very hard will probably not help, because I view that as another verbal excuse to get out of a lecture. Best way to confess: "It was my own fault that I got a bad grade."

Answer 2

Tell them exactly what you told us.   They can only expect your best and that's it!    I think you did a great job and I really mean it!

Answer 3

JUst tell them the truth. Don't lie!! Then they'll just find out another way and be PISSED!!! Being honest is best!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Tell them everything you just said.  Tell them how hard you tried.  Then tell them that you just do not take tests well, assuming that that is correct...

Answer 5

just tell them thay you studied really hard but you got nervous and messed up a few questions. tell them that having a B as a final grade is ok and that you will work harder next year.
