When did you last had a talk with your parents regarding grades?
It’s a quite common topic for a conversation to happen in every household regarding grades.
And yes, it’s good to talk with your teen but discussing the disadvantages and scary tactics of not getting decent grades such as, “you’ll never get into a good college unlike your friends”, “you’ll never get a decent job to survive” is quite tempting and leaves a negative impression on teens.
What will happen if we get superior grades? Are these grades ever going to help us?
The answer is obviously a big ‘yes’.
I’ve heard many people saying grades don’t matter and also “a single sheet of paper cannot decide your future”. Make sure you score maximum grades before saying this.
Grades do matters and good grades will lead us to first-class universities, first-class colleges, and job applications which concludes our future success.
Still not convinced about the great role that grades play in determining your success?

Here are the 5 reasons why grades are important
Better opportunities are always ready to knock on your door.
Let’s go back to our school days!!!!
Talking about school life, I don’t know about others but mine was in such a way where students who study better, who score better grades are always provided with different scholarships, rewards in terms of compliments, they get a chance to go on educational trips so that they always stay motivated and do better in the academics.
Teachers too directly or indirectly tend to focus more on studious kids and personally tell them about other opportunities. Teachers are more friendly with such people and often treats them more adequately.
In our education system, success is often measured by grades. Grades are important at every step from getting admission to good colleges or universities, to getting a decent job for succeeding.
Better colleges are ready to welcome you
Ever thought of getting admission to one of the world’s best universities?
Better grades grant admissions in a reputed academic college, and academic success at the finest universities leads to a high-paying job that will fulfill your as well as your family’s needs including high bank balance, social status, a big house, exotic vacations, and many more.
Especially, if you wish to pursue higher professional courses such as law firm, engineering, veterinary studies, MBA, CA, CFA, etc even greater significance is placed on grades. Your GPA score is of utmost importance for your admission to renowned colleges.
Good colleges not only guarantee academic excellence but also plays a great role in a child’s holistic development. They believe in practicality and prepare students not only for the board exams but also for the exams that the students are going to face in their future.
Better grades cause no stress.
If you get better grades in your examination will there be any other kind of stress??
Well, according to my it’s a big ‘No’. on the other hand, it feels so good seeing my parents proud of me. It feels so wonderful when your friend’s parents compare you with their child in the parent-teacher meeting. Let me share with you my experience, when I was unable to get better grades compared to my classmates, I was so embarrassed and stressed out that I started overthinking. And…..
“Stress comes from ignoring stuff that shouldn’t be ignored.”
I gave more importance to other things rather than my studies and simply for that reason I was surrounded by the dark clouds of stress and anxiety. seeing others getting complimented by teachers in front of the whole class and me sitting with others clapping for my friend’s achievement made me sad.
As soon as I realized I started studying harder and gradually my grades improved and seeing those grades my stress was relieved and I felt relaxed.
Better grades attract employers.
College is the closest thing to the professional or the business world that we young people experience and how well we perform there indicates our performance in our job life.
According to employment recruiters, a student with a better GPA score shows that the given candidate can focus on tasks, handle pressure, learn quickly, and is motivated to succeed. And these are the qualities that the job recruiters are searching for and it is a safe bet to elect candidates with these qualities.
Good grades boost your confidence
Teens sometimes are afraid to try hard because they’re afraid of failure and hence they give up and never try. What’s there to be afraid of? Always remember one thing,
“You try, you fail, congratulations many people don’t even try”
Just give your best and you will see the results. And that will surely motivate you to perform better the next time to keep up your good work. It will bring confidence in you and you’ll be able to take up more challenges in your academics.
“You can get online programming help as well, expert developers can help you to achieve great grades in your academics. Few websites like mycodingpal.com are really trustworthy and take the help from them”
Good grades provide you with a scholarship.
Getting a scholarship is of great honor, isn’t it? have you ever been selected for the scholarship exam?
we always felt jealous seeing our classmate getting selected for scholarship exams, receiving a scholarship doesn’t matter just selected for scholarship exams makes us feel proud.
Students these days should get guidance about the advantages and opportunities of getting scholarships so that they perceive it hard to achieve the same.
Better grades, higher test scores, excellent behavior, involvement in other curricular activities, clubs, honor societies, attracts special funding, and scholarships from various organizations.
scholarships can be of great help for financially backward students wishing to pursue higher studies and can also be a great help to pay off student loans. Wait, wait……
Don’t feel tensed if you score average.

I understand, many pupils after reading the advantages of better grades will become quite nervous if you are an average scorer. Every finger of your hand can’t be equal and hence no one can be perfect in everything.
Don’t compare yourself with your friends but with the old you. And, doing everything is of no use, but excelling in one of them is quite important.
okay so,
Every person in this universe is either gonna become an employer or an employee. That is you are either gonna work for someone or make someone work, isn’t it?
If you are dreaming to work in one of the MNC’s ( Microsoft, Nokia Corporation, Reebok International Limited, etc) out there, your GPA (grade point average)score in your resume will be your biggest factor for getting selected as employers there are looking for students who can quietly follow their directions and deliver exactly what is expected from them.
On the other hand, the criteria for enlisting candidates in Indian Companies include a child’s non-cognitive skills such as problem-solving skills, leadership qualities, oral communication. Of course, grades matter but it’s not the only factor that will decide your selection.
now comparing both the cases, If you had always had a dream to work in one of those MNC’s out there, don’t let your grades take you downwards and study so hard that people think you are crazy
But if you are blessed with some of the non-cognitive skills, Indian companies would be a better option to go with. If you are an average scorer but have great debating skills, communication skills, keep participating in all sorts of competitions held on your campus. Take up various public speaking sessions and work on your soft skills. The majority of the students reading this blog don’t have an idea of what they are going to do in the future and hence this question often annoys us.
“What are your future goals?” they will always end up saying that they’ve not yet decided.
But however one day you will get married, have a wife, a child, or children. You wish to live a decent life, give your family all the luxuries that you never received in your childhood. At that time you will wish that you would’ve made enough money and had a better job.
Ok, let’s leave that and think about the present. Don’t you have your dreams of owning a Mercedes, residing in a bungalow with a swimming pool, wearing custom-made suits and expensive watches? just thinking about them makes you smile brightly but the very next second your smile disappears thinking you can’t probably achieve it.
You can, but for that, you need to make preparations from now, you have to study well and give your everything in academics and make sure that I have to achieve all those dreams that I dreamt of as a child. Studying is only for a limited period, but what you’re going to enjoy will be lifetime enjoyment. So why not sacrifice a bit more for your comfortable future?
This article is especially for generation Z who are enjoying giving exams online. it has almost been a year and teachings are done through online means. I clearly understand that our teaching was transferred from offline to online in no time. Not only teaching but exams too. Students don’t understand online teachings even though teachers are trying their level best.
The question is why??
Why are we not able to understand anything? It is pretty simple that we are just scrolling Instagram during our lectures or simply just ignoring our classes. Isn’t it guys?
That’s something that most of the students do. And now when the exams are conducted we simply google the answers. I can surely say that 95% of the students do this and get better grades.
But are these grades going to help you? Will these grades satisfy you?
No, right? When everything’s back to normal and schools reopen, exams will be conducted offline and you will then realize that you lost your concentration in your studies because you didn’t study at all
Don’t mind what I said but that’s the fact!! You can change even now there’s still time left. Avoid things that distract you from your studies. Start gaining your concentration again.
