I have been someone who has no problems getting full marks during college in project work however if I had to sit an exam on a subject I generally only get a mediocre grades (low B’s at best) in comparison to the project.

Does this then mean I lack the intelligence/ability to learn for exams? Am I learning incorrectly? I don’t panic for exams.

Say I do a project on subject X and get and A+ and do an exam on the same project and get a C+ then someone else gets a C+ doing the project on X and gets an A+ in the exam…who knows the subject better? Hypothetically…

Or can it be taken that to get an A+ in the exam you would almost certainly get an A+ in the project.
