You may want to take some time off. The longer you struggle
in college, the harder it is to get a reasonable degree. Most
of the degrees require a minimum 2.0 GPA. Collecting a lot
of questionable grades is not going to help. After a few years
trying to scrape through 'real life' you might find it easier to
focus on college again.

I had straight As for years. Then I started slipping and getting Bs and an occasional C. Now I'm doing mostly As and a few Bs. Except I'm starting to slack off and again and sooner or later my grades will dip down.

I maintain about a 3.5 GPA, I'm in high school and the honors courses are weighted(otherwise it would be lower).

Usually A+ to C. Psychology was my biggest surprise (B-) as I didn't think I fully grasped the subject.

As up through highschool
As and a few Bs in undergrad; about the same in grad school

terrible on standardized tests (such as SATs/ACTs for college and GREs for gradschool); except for writing portions--which i do exceptionally well in

Depends on the school. I was always pretty good in early elementary school. Moved to high C's in middle and high school. Stayed about the same for most of my first degree (though for the occasional classes that I took after I stopped going full time I was straight As). A's for my 2nd undergrad. Now I've got a 3.75 GPA - but it doesn't mean anything in grad school; actually probably pretty low.

Nothing. We weren't graded on our work.

I usually get close to straight A's, but when I don't get an A, I get really down.

Post-primary I failed it all (even in primary I struggled)…I really, really needed to go to a special school; mainstream schooling (and society) is something that I’m not made for. An IQ that says above average kept me there….
