Do good grades matter?

Good grades bring you better opportunity in life.

You should not blame your teachers. If you are motivated, you should become good at anything.

To a certain extent yes though it also depends on what you want to do in life and how motivated you are to reach it. Plus once you find your strengths you can find a career in the science field suited to them

Does album sales matter!! ITZY is already one of the best sellers of all the time

Think like that, if album sales matter, then grades matter

if album sales don't matter, then grades don't matter

yes and no...grades matter to an extent but what's more important is the knowledge and wisdom that comes from studying developing effective habits and time management etc etc...

there are successful people that are not book smart and there are dumb as hell people who are book geniuses...

High School: Yes for scholarships and acceptance to preferred universities (depending on how competitive though).

College: Matters less (unless you want to get into Med School or any graduate degree program). Compensate by doing internships, other things outside the classroom though.

No not really. There’s more to life than straight A’s and high school. Nobody really takes notice of that stuff.

Yes and No. Good grades make it easier to continue your education, whether that be scholarships to universities or getting into competitive graduate schools like in medicine, law, or business etc.

But after that? Not at all. How far you go, how much money you make, your position in life has more to do how you perform, advance, and choose your career.

If you want to do something that requires years of academics ye they matter

Well it depends. For University/College, yes. For a job? No.

Never study, but still got a 90+ on advanced calculus in highschool

If you are trying to get into an Ivy League school, they matter. However, excellent grades won't guarantee that you will be the best at your job or career. What kind of science are you interested in?

I think so yes. If you get good grades, you have better more opportunities to do what you love in life in my opinion.

Quote from ellenote

I am interested in astronomy and the universe. That’s why I’m worried, because I’m not good at studying and tests and everything. So it’s really nerve wracking.

You can become good at studying. That's a skill you can systematically build.

There are different paths if you are or aren't good at Math and Physics. If you are good at problem solving and analysis, you have an advantage.

Are you passionate about it so much that you could do it all day everyday? Lots of university learning and research, like 9 years, would be involved. If you are very passionate about it, none of that will deter you.

Quote from ellenote

That is true. I don’t know what I’m passionate about, it keeps changing. I like English and science and even dancing, so I don’t know yet. All I want to do is get good grades and not disappoint others around me.

Have you asked some of the people who know you well what they think you are good at? Sometimes they see things you don't yet. If you are passionate about something that can be broadly applied, like helping people, you can possibly combine that with what you are good at to make your career very satisfying.

Talking and writing about Science for non-Science minded people could be something you might enjoy. Science heads don't know how to explain concepts in a way that non-Science heads can easily understand.

If talking with the general public about it is too annoying, you could possibly do it for other businesses or in an interdisciplinary reseach capacity. These are just possibilities to think about some more later on.
