Intelligent or just able to memorize well enough to info dump for the test. My schools basically taught for the state standardized tests, I learned a ton more from random internet surfing than from school, unfortunately.

That too, in some careers you have a chunk of memorizing like med school, but in school it's just shouldn't be an important part.

Memorizing is an effort too, but usually smart kids memorize easier when there is interesting topic linked to it, like dates in history, authors etc...

Honestly as a kid I wouldn't have bothered to learn from just memorizing an exam.

And yes, even though it wasn't like that for me, internet has taught me a great deal still, what a time to be alive! (That's the catch phrase of two minutes paper, great YouTuber to learn about computer sim / AI)
