Found out today, my dad expects *cough* and threatened*cough* me to get no less than 97+ because he knows what IQ I have (he makes me get tested once every two years by a psych) and because noone in my family has gotten below mid 90's yet :(

In forsight I'm partly to blame as I've done nothing but fuel his dream throughout the year, by bringing home all the good assessments and none of the bad ones/ hiding my report cards...

The day the Atar's come out, don't be suprised if you see a report of an 18 year old girl brutally murdered by their dad on their news ;)

Oh I am, I realised the only point of the atar is too get into uni, sorta making every mark you get above the requirement a waste.
And since my course req. is 83 I'm pretty chilled.

I'm only worried because he's an irrational arsehole and a lawyer (so he's good at passive agressive verbal abuse) and I can imagine he'll stop talking to me for at least a week if (and when) I get below 90 because I'm so cbf about it all.

lol well i'm sure our parents will be happy when they see the final results. Besides it's probably them trying to motivate us to do better (I hope lol) which fails.
yeah it kind of is, it's like reverse motivation which doesn't really work hahaha

well since you're on bos, i'm assuming it's the former?

I think my parents would be happy if I got over 80.
I'd be ecstatic if I got over 90 though.
I probably won't, but I can dream, eh? :D
