I studiend and studied and studied!!! Ok, well .. maybe I didn't study that hard ... I did read the chapters ... and my 4.0GPA-over-achieving-sorry-ass got C's on BOTH tests I took yesterday!
Seriously, I've always thought a 3.8 or 3.9 sounded better on a resume (to the vast majority of companies at least) than a 4.0.
4.0 is someone that is either (a) socially inept isolationstic braniac genius that will have a hard time working within a team environment that most jobs require or (b) socially barren isolationistic study-aholic over-achiever that will clash with many employees because of his/her typical mightier than thou got to do it perfectly even if it means bankrupting the company attitude.
