>the faster path to good marks was optimising for answering exam questions rather than a deep intuitive knowledge of the subject. Right. This is the bane of our educational system i.e. they prioritize for "grading" rather than "understanding". I have met many who were considered smart/genius because of their good grades or where they graduated from but with regular interaction turned out to be pretty average in their understanding. They have simply optimized their "Social Signal".
