Achieve a grade of "A" at school (0/5) under Whiz Kid Aspiration

[Summers]

Hello, my 2 teens have a young sister an elementary student. (The oldest boy is now young adult). When she grew up to child, she didn't go to school for a week, and she has dropped down to D grade while she was going for the Creativity aspiration. Since she has changed to Whiz kid one, she started to go to school and studied really hard. Now she is B grade. 

The point I'm wondered is she has never got A at school so far but her milestone says she got 4/5 times at school. It's very confusing..maybe I totally misunderstood this.

She is B grade.

What does this 'achieve a grade A (number)' here mean? I really don't know why it keeps counting.

I've never seen it with a counter before, only a tick for 'achieved' or left un-ticked because the sim has not achieved an 'A'.    Maybe delete your cache file and restart your game and see if the milestone still looks the same?

I already did but the same.

Oh gosh! lol.. I really don't know. errr, seems a bit weird that your sim has achieved 4/5 'A's    I guess it is just a game glitch. I'll be playing a school aged child soon so I'll keep an eye out. I don't think it is worth you using up your time etc doing a reinstall as you seem to be able to play the game perfectly in all other areas. Besides if it is a bug then it will probably still be there after the reinstall anyway.

My B students always have 4/5 for A. I think if you get to that point of the aspiration, and your child was a C student, it would be 3/5; D would be 2/5 and F 1/5, but I haven't tested this.

@MarianT  they do?  Cripes, maybe it is my game that is weird then? I've never seen that, it is always just a simple check or uncheck. Or maybe I'm delusional... one of the two!

[MarianT]

It used to be a check and then they went to 4/5. Or maybe it's gone back to a check.

Yeah, it's been 4/5 for me for a while now too.  It used to be just a checkmark.

Whew, thought I was imagining things! lol Well, the last child I played was gen 8 last dynasty so... yeah, probably time to play another I guess. My klepto kid doesn't count as he never went to school anyway so I didn't even look at his aspirations or school progress. (To busy swiping.)

[Shewolf13]

LOL!  oh Play hehehe that made me giggle.

I noticed this the last child I had, I don't play kids very often so can't be sure when they changed it.

I tend to play with aging off and rarely get past playing my founders because I get bored and start a new game (got to stop doing that!)

That sounds right. Yeah it was 3/5 when she was C student. I was confused with this as well. So I thought it could be just nothing...she should get A 2 times more and it will be counted when she reaches to A. But it counted to 4/5 when she is up to B grade. That's why I wanted to ask here to understand this system. 

Ahhh I can try not to send a child to school until drops down to F next time.

Don't do that, you'll risk them being taken about by the social worker I think.

Agree with Dellena, I don't think you need to test that, because the social worker will come.

Oh I missed that point. I won't and thank you.
