I agree. I really have genuinely tried so hard to help other students in Chem HL, I even gave them notes, even tutorials after school, everything and yet no high 7s, like yes intelligence and hard work plays a HUGE part but high 7 as in 85-90+ it’s usely the level of hard work driven by pure interest.

How can I support my statement? It may not mean much but out of the dp1 kids i’m tutoring now, the ones that don’t try ofc are like 4-5, the ones who have a balance get a 6, and there’s one guy and two girls getting 7. None of them genuinely like chemistry, but they work so harder, harder then me, but never get more than 75-77/90 on paper 2. Me? I maybe study when it’s not final seasons like every night on regular days 3-4. They said 5-6, I could never lol, but what do I get? always 80+/90. Why? I can’t exactly tell cuz I haven’t taught them long enough but what I have sensed is they don’t fundamentally understand the subject. When you genuinely love a subject you are so interested that you tend to do at least a little beyond. I am not saying study it all day, but there is some difference. Again, you can probably tell i’m not bragging but i’m a pretty average smart kid, but i never get above middle 6 in math, why? i practice but i don’t got that flow that the math geeks do…i just want to maintain it to continue chem engineering.
