had your parents tell you to "try your hardest", but when you do, and you don't do that well, let's say on a test, but you still passed and you did your hardest, they get mad at you?
 
My Dad gets made when I get a C D or even F on my tests. Then again, he was raised to get A's and B's on his grades.

Disappointed sure, mad not really.
Well, not furious mad, but just angry with you.
Not really, my parents are pretty easy going, and as long as I don't make major blunders they'll be cool.

Though I'm sure I've disappointed them from time to time.

Well I don't think it's too much of a stretch to assume you have.
You are correct in assuming this, but instead of ranting out like some people would, I'm calmly approaching the matter by posing a question and keeping my feelings bottled up inside.
 
My parents wouldn't become angry, but they'd be pretty disappointed considering they know I can do a lot better.
 
They'd get disappointed/pissed and:

A. Keep it Bottled Up
B. Get Onto Me About It
C. Get Onto Me About It while trying to kick my ass

Usually B.

Haha I don't get "try your hardest"
I get "You better get above 90."
Asians parents. :l

They're always like, "If you get an A, you fail. You need an A+!".

I don't think they do +'s anymore. :s

Of course a parent would care if you get an F or D, those are terrible grades!

Nah, they replace encouragement with empty threats :P
Same here :'D

My parents usually gets mad over a test grade lower than a B becuase they think I'm didn't try my hardest. Even though I was.
