H-how is this possible, I studied throughout the term, I studied much longer than him (10 hours average a day when lecturers were over)

And we got the same grade, I have no ill will towards him, I'm more angry at myself. I'm actually a retard.

So /r9k/ when did you realise you're stupid?

>10 hours a day

You're literally retarded if you did that and got anything wrong. Your friend is also better at studying than you, probably because they prioritise the most useful exercises and past exam papers.

Obviously not 10 hours of pure studying, We studied together, for a lot of it. I know I'm stupid why do you think I made this fucking thread.

It's called efficiency. It's like working out. You can hinder strength and muscle growth by over exercising. Rest periods is when the muscle grows and is probably similar to the brain retaining new info to be permanent.

he is probably lying, why do you trust him when he says he didnt really study much.

All you need to do to score above average grades is to get your hands on that professor's past exams. That's it. You don't need to study 10 hours a day, which I'm calling bullshit on.

Are you doing some kind of very hard graduate class? That could explain it though.

I asked to see my transcripts, I scored higher in dynamics and thermodynaics than i did in materials and numerical methods.

That's what i did, i did all their non past paper work during term and focused on past papers and potential questions after during exam period. I received a 2:1 which above average I guess.

I just don't know why he would lie.

>I just don't know why he would lie.
A lot of people say they don't study a lot while in actuality they do study a lot. I don't really know the motivation for that but it's well known that it happens.

But anyway some people just naturally have a better grasp of certain subjects, I've noticed this myself when I heard people complain about how difficult some subject is while for me it was ezpz (and the other way around of course).

You should just be happy that you're doing well, there will always be others who are better than you, don't let that get you down.

>10 hours average a day
You're a fucking brainlet if you needed this much time. Time to look for a mcjob.
