And another TEDx video we have watched during the lesson and so this is what I think about it.
This video is on the topic of what distinguishes top students from the ordinary ones. Douglas Barton, the speaker, in his, as I think, too boring and too long speech has mentioned multiple times that the  thing different about top students is that they are more practice-oriented when preparing for exams. Not like other students, mostly trying to get all things remembered before the exam. He said they are more successful being able to give an answer created by themselves as they do not spend that much time on revising the material. It is all too subjective as some exams like history or literature require accurate knowledge and the only way to be prepared for such exams is only to learn something by heart, where there is no way you could cheat.
What I liked about the thoughts he has introduced was that it doesn’t matter how hard we work but it really matters what we are working on. That’s why some top students give less but take more.
I didn’t like his performance absolutely as all od his thoughts seemed already-known and too wide(global) for me.
Practice makes perfect.
