I learned this rather well studying abroad in Ireland. I got a final grade of 92 in a class on protein modeling, which in the UK/Irish grading system is really high.
The professor asked me if I had taken the class before.
I hadn't, but the exam was all short answer and multiple choice. Which was very different from the long-form work most of his students did, but absolutely in an American student's wheelhouse.
I was okay in the class. What I was really, really good at was the test.
