The discussion centers around the frustration of a student who invested significant time and effort into preparing for a civil engineering exam, only to find that the exam questions were nearly identical to those from a previous year. This led to a perception of unfairness, as peers who studied less but focused on past papers performed better. The student reflects on the shortcomings of the education system, expressing concern that grades do not accurately reflect true understanding or knowledge. Other participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of a balanced study approach, suggesting that a combination of thorough understanding and strategic exam preparation is crucial. They argue that while grades can open doors, true competence is demonstrated through practical application of knowledge in the workplace. The conversation also touches on differences in educational systems across countries, with some participants noting that in certain regions, grades are heavily weighted on final exams, making effective study habits essential. Overall, the thread highlights the tension between effort and results in academic settings and the implications for future employment.

Here those who have brought higher grades in their exam have declined OP, and the average graders have either became neutral or favoured OP
The world is just like this we often favour the people which are alike us

Sorry how do you know our grades? My grades are average on the basis that is what they come out as. I get B's in some and A's in others with one or two C's. That is a fairly average set coming to an overall B. However in terms of each subject most are pretty good.

I don't see anyone here posting their grades or much about them. Do not make such a statement.
