What are grades? 🤔

Grades. Scores. Exams. Results. Tests. Each and every word related to this makes you nervous even if you’re well prepared, and it’s natural! But what are grades? What are scores? And what do they really tell us?? 😬

Imagine you’ve just given a 50 mark test and are anxiously waiting for the results. Let’s say you receive 44/50. Common human nature would be that you’d begin comparing with your friends and other students of your class. Seeing that a few other students received more marks than you, you’d not only be sad and a bit jealous but also angry. But the real question is, does your score really make that much of a difference? 🤷🤔

As much as scores are important for a good career, they have something else to say too! Something that most students don’t realize and fail to understand. A score of 44/50 means that you were able to get 44 questions correct and not that you got 6 questions wrong! Scores just measure how much you’ve learnt and give you room for improvement rather than negative criticism, disappointment and depression. 😅🤷

Many students think that getting full marks is the best score. It sounds true but it’s weirdly not! The best score is anything higher than your previous score! In this case, if you got a 45, 46, 47,48,49 or 50, that’s the best score! 😁😃

Your best score is the best you can do by learning from your mistakes and doing your best!! 🙂🎉

After all grades don’t measure intelligence ♥️
