It’s currently university exam season in my country. My roommate has quite literally not come to university at all the entire semester except for mandatory stuff; hasn’t studied at all, doesn’t even have the coursework, 0 notebooks or folders, etc. We’re more than half done with the exam session and he got 10/10 (max grade) at each exam. He just read through my coursework the day before the exam for a bit & that was it. When I ask him he says he uses intuition, logic and reading between the lines to understand the “patterns”. I just don’t understand how you can use “intuition” for microeconomics & math applied in economics for example. I know for a fact he doesn’t cheat cause in his mind cheating is too much effort.
I feel that multiple choice test thing in a major way. I could probably get 75% or more right on any multiple choice test regardless of my actual knowledge on the topic. I always found those tests to be a terrible way to see if someone actually understood the subject matter.
I was smart enough to purposely average Cs in grade school and highschool and then drop out the second I turned 18 lol.
I’m pretty stupid, but I often find my self completely perplexed by the stupidity and lack of logical thinking from people who had 4.0+ GPAs and have doctorates. Like on paper these people are smarter than me in every conceivable way, but they were too stupid to know not to put engine coolant into their oil.
Something something fish climbing trees.
