My main area(s) of boosted intellect is Science, and to a lesser extent, English.

My areas of intellect are math, french, and art. English is one of my weaker areas.

We should get together sometime. I also forgot to mention History.

If we ever get together, we shall conquer the universe with our combined intellect we will do Asperger's Syndrome stuff.

I have some speech problems...

One example is "brung". It is not a word, but when I was younger, I used that word often as a past tense to "bring". It is "brought", and that problem is significantly reduced I think.

I used to have that same problem with thought.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

I used to have that same problem with thought.

I thought of cookies.
I thunk of cookies.

I probably had trouble with that one too...

So, how well do you do in school?

My school's class sytem goes like this:  Reception (First year of school, then Year 1-to year 6. End of primary. Start of secondary School in Year Seven. All the way to Year Eleven. Then you do GCSEs in year eleven, and two optional years after: Year Twelve and Year Thirteen.

Grading system:

1C is the lowest, 8A is the highest. Although 8C and higher is imposible to achive at my age.

Average Person Science score: 6C
My score: 7C, a whole level ahead.

Average person english score: 6B
My score: 6A

I get the average History score though, but I just about knock onto 6A's doors.

The American Grading System is a far cry from yours...
It goes from A,B,C,D, and F, where A is the highest and F is the lowest.
And then, a +, -, or nothing is assigned to each letter not F.
So from best to worst grades, it goes A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F
From 0-100%, certain number ranges are assigned to the letters.
98-100 is an A+, 97-92 is A, 91 and 90 is an A-.
So + > nothing > -
Similar patterns occur with B,C,D, and F.
B - 80s range
C - 70s range
D - 60s range
F - 59 or lower

At this point in my life, it is near impossible to achieve an A+ in my school (Grade , unless you're ub3r smart.

Oh, and the class system in America is:
K-5
6-7
8-9
10-12
College

OR
K-6
7-8
9-10
11-12   <-- I think.
College

Whew. Long text block.

@MsRR - History is okay for me now... Just substitute English in for History in your post and that's me. =P

I forgot to add College on the end of the list, and you've got the grading system right. Because there is such a wide range  of scores... although, afgter YEar 7, you can never get anything lower than a 3C.

[B~T]

38567

In my school, you need to have a grade of at least a D to pass, I think.

And even so, D is considered a bad grade in my school.

The only class I ever failed was typing.. and that was because I cut...  

[B~T]

38570

You just made my upcoming COmputer Study class a lot scarier... V____V

And what do you mean by "cut"?

Typing is a problem for me because I always look at the keyboard when you aren't supposed to... >_>"

I think she means she didn't do it, I was confused by the term at first, but I now know what it means.

At my school, since it's private, an F is a 70% or 69% and lower.  An A is 100%-92.45%(5 rounds the 4 to a 5, the 5 rounds it to a 93%).  And I'm getting A's!
