This topic came up as result of a test conducted recently in one of our schools. When the result was released, both the teachers and students were surprised with the result. They saw that those that performed very well during class work and assignments failed the exam. While those that performed poorly in the class work passed the exam very well. Actually, those that failed were more brilliant that those that passed. The question now is "what do you think is responsible for this?".

Knowledge measured in classroom setting can actually bring out mixed results. If you have experienced such an outcome for your class, don't be surprised, they are just but normal. You can expect the number one in class to be always on top. Nor would you always find the goat of the class at the tailend. There are certain circumstances, outside influences, and personal factors that can add up and turn around the result of an exam, not to mention overconfidence.

What is going on anyway?.. Smarter students should have a good results for the exams. Or maybe the teachers who's responsible for that because they didn't check the paper very well. Or maybe... Money is behind to all of that... You know what i mean Eweniks?
