Does Hard working quality sufficient to go through exam??

Life is unfair - Life is unfair sometimes, saving so much trouble for people who are clever so much ease to do things.

I am actually very hard-working guy but not clever Due to this quality, i was able to attain my goal but always at an average grade...why? Why some people can apply one quarter of their effort and reach a higher grade? Thats so unfair. dont you think so?

I really think that there is no universal way to prepare for an exam. There are certain things that will work with certain people. There are certain people who actually maintain the illusion of not working that hard, but in many ways, are working hard. I think that I was like this. I didn't really study that all but I sat in the class and listened to the teacher, took a lot of notes, things like that, and very little study time was needed for an exam. There is a school of thought that someone relayed to me that the harder you study, the more that you might forget. The human brain is meant to be fed information bit by bit. Carefully a little bit at a time. I think that those who study smarter, instead of harder get better grades for this reason. Now granted, that's not always the case, but in many cases, it is in fact the case. Might not seem fair, but there are many things about school in general that quite frankly are not fair.

That is unfortunately the case for me, i always work hard, I take notes during the class, i understand all the lectures, but i have one bad thing. I have very hard time to memorise things. That makes my grade always average or fail.

Since you already recognize the problem, you can now devise a method to overcome it. Try some memory exercises or seek advice from other people. There is nothing to be ashamed of since other people have some weakness in some area or another. Keep trying and you can succeed!

For me, every human has been given an advantage over another in different aspects of life...You cannot just say life as unfair just because you are not excel in one aspect of life, for example your study...By the way, as for me there are people who born genius but you can be as good as them, if not better, with hard work. Hard work does pay...Happy studying!
