For me, it depends on the class. If it is something I am passionate about, then I get disappointed when I get a bad grade. However, if it something I could care less about (ex. Social Studies), then I don't even care.
For example. I am a top Band student, averaging at 100%, whilst getting an overall E (excellent) for work habits. Because I am so used to getting perfect scores, I get really upset if I get even a 98!
I am also a top Science Student (Chemistry and Biology), and I average at about 88-96 generally. I am very happy with anything higher in those classes because I never expect it.
In French, I have never gotten anything lower than an A (86-100%). My average for that class is around 92%, which certainly pleases me!
I used to be really good at math. However, since Grade 11 started, I noticed that my math mark has dropped from high 80, to mid 70. It doesn't seem like much, but it is quite a significant change, and could mean a drop by 2 letter grades! It is a lot harder, though, so I am quite happy with the marks I do receive.
I am really good at English, but I do slack off quite a bit, which puts my mark down to either a C+ or a C. It doesn't bother me too much though, since I know that it is my own fault for getting such a low grade. I know I could get better if I tried.
Last, but not least, Social Studies. Honestly, I hate this class so much, I am actually pleased when I make 60%. I don't try in this class, because I have no interest in History, Geography, Demography, any of that. I usually barely get by in this class (around 55%), and I don't really care to be perfectly honest. As long as I pass, it's good enough for me!
All in all, though, I really don't think much about what grades I receive. A grade is a grade. At least something low tells me what I need to improve upon for the next semester.
