94% - Supreme Nerd, though I admit there was a questions where no
answer fit and I had to pick what I thought was closest in spirit.  

And I was a good girl on:

What is/was your GPA
	Don't know / care
	Less than 2.90 (Somewhat average marks)
	2.90 to 3.19 (Average marks)
	3.20 to 3.69 (Great grades)
	3.70 to 3.89 (Mostly high marks)
	3.90 to 4.00 (Only high marks)
	Higher than 4.00 (Improbable)

I went to a college that gave grades on a 5 point scale, so my GPA
actually was higher than 4.00, but I answered where it would have
fallen on a 4 point scale.
