Secondary school was a battle of the fittest. Seven hours a day, 13 subjects per term, and only the strongest students geniuses made it to the top three positions in class. Do you remember these types of geniuses who always made the list.

The ones who don’t need to read

You can never stand a chance with these ones. All they had to do was sit in the class or watch educational shows like Cowbellpedia, and it was sorry to you and your four hours of reading time per day.

The ones who can solve the problems in their head

These ones excel at STEM subjects all on their own. While everyone is struggling to solve equations with their pen, paper and calculators, all they need is two minutes to provide answers from their head.

The miracle workers

They spend half the term away from school for some reason, but show up on exam days and still pass with flying colours. 

The ones who’ll play with you and still pass

Sorry to you if you had them as your friends. They’ll spend the entire day before an exam, playing and shining teeth with you. When the results come in, you’ll find out nothing was ever really funny.

The candle burners

They might sleep through the day and act like that test everyone is preparing for means nothing, but best believe once everyone goes to bed, their eyes become shining torchlights, and sleep becomes non-existent.

The crammers 

For these ones, the end justifies the means. As long as they retain the knowledge and use it when needed, they’re fine.

The jack of all trades 

These ones don’t have a favourite subject. They excel at every and anything, including the STEM (S subjects people run away from.
