It took me several years to learn how to get good grades. I was not that great a student in the beginning, and was motivated by things that were interesting to me. The two eventually converged, and I ended up with good grades by the end. One test I had was a counterexample to the hackable tests that Paul talked about. And it was the only one of that kind that was of that nature. It was in the EE Static Fields course. The final exam was one question, and you could hear the groans as the test was passed out: Derive Maxwell's Equations This test was a great indicator of how well you got the basic facts of the course.
