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

Me: guess what mum
Mum: what? what???
Me: I got my 4 unit result back *smile* I got 94 from 100
Mum: 94 !!!! where did the other 6 go??
lol it burns

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.

this is the norm, you're not alone
if it makes you feel any better, i'm uber impressed, and jealous :O
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?

LOL, your parents sound asian no offense :|
My dad would always say the same thing! if not worse.. i'd get 100% and they'd still complain.
yeh apparently they are borderline as well =P
actually my parents are Egyptian and if I get 100% they will actually say congrats but then do that in everything else

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?
