Agreed. A better poll question would be "Is it total bullshit for an A- to equal a B in any way?"

This is for a first-level course of a four year degree?
I'd say, if you know for a fact that you want to do grad school afterwards, or anything else where your GPA has to be competitive, then go for the A.
Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

i think you wouldn't be happy unless you got an A. but i also think that grading an A- as an A is stupid.

An A- is reported as a B for grading purposes.
Well isn't that a dick move.
Personally, I'd take the test, just for that extra validation. Plus, ignoring grades for moment, doing a little more studying means you will probably have more knowledge at your disposal when it comes time to put your degree to use.
