    Memorization only works if you know what the questions will be. Granted over time that is the case. Thats one annoying aspect as not only does it favor memorization but it also favors those who were able to find a good set of the questions one way or another. That is the case with regular tests to though as A+ tests get disseminated and people can memorize the “best” answer. One of the classes where people did horrible and thus I did great (at this point classes were hard enough that everything was on a curve) was an immunology course. The professor changed the questions and I will tell you. They are really not much of a change in some cases. Many people who could kick my figuative academic ass in other courses did horribly while I did as well as I ever do. I was in his office after he kicked out of class a question because so many people complained. Im like hey I got that right and there are only so many classes where im the A student. I need this for my grade point.
