Is it possible?? ?

Question

I am a college student ; I am a computer science student , A boy joined our class just a month before the exams , Actually , he was a late admission , & he was in apickle for sure , he had no notes , no idea of what happened in the lectures bcoz he has missed all the lectures , anyways the entire class thought that he was going to fail badly bcoz the portion was too vast & even the professores thought that he was going to fail for sure ; He was lagging behind the class so much so & he had many fat thicks books to study which he had not even touched ; To every bodys astonishment that guy scored 80% in the exams , I am d**n sure that there was no chance of his cheating in the exams bcoz he was sitting on the first bench & there were so many supervisors , So the only chance that he had was to study well for exams , but do U think he could have scored so much with so less time & so much thick fat books to study ??

IS IT POSSIBLE?? ( plz answer honestly )

Answer 1

Yes.  If you're that curious, ask him how he did it.  Some people are blessed with good memory, an understanding of what they read and hear, and are good test takers.  I remember about 85% of what I hear, and 87% of what I read which I was tested for, so I know.

Answer 2

I think it's possible. Maybe he took a similar class at another school, maybe he did study really hard before the test. Maybe he just knows a lot about the material that was covered in the class.

Answer 3

Yes I am sure it is possible. Some people's brains can absorb material at a lot faster rate than others. Those who are blessed with a photographic memory only need to read a book once & can remember it page by page. There is another consideration though - the marking system could be arbitrary! Regards.
