How are you doing in your school?

[Markkkkk]

You guys amaze me... In my school you are a god/goddess if you get over 80%

I'm 95% in English, 90% in grammar and 5% in cramming. I'll be very happy in the 2014-2015 session because there will be no more rote learning to do.

You have to cram every year. I thought I need not cram in XI but was wrong.

Even in IGCSE ?

You don't have to. If you choose not to.

I know that but you know most of the teachers prefer to give marks to those who write same to same as written in the copy. That's why I have to cram this time.

Teachers ask the students to cram essays, paragraphs so that they will learn the language.
That's how the system is. Cram and win.

Disagree, that is the biggest lie about our system. You cannot pass 11th/12th by just solely cramming. It is possible to an extent till 10th grade but not after that. For example 70 students in my school failed 11th grade last year because cramming was all that they could do, you cannot get by like that after a certain stage.

And I just don't get all the hate people have for all the toppers/IITians, everyone thinks they just learn stuff up by rote, which is by all means necessary, but there is a high amount of logical thinking ability required as well. People just look for excuses to bring others down.

Cramming is the opposite of what we are taught... Our school NEVER asks someone straight from the book, but makes us use what we learnt in different ways.
