Absolutely. I have a comp sci degree, I was able to obtain first class results by learning intensively for an average of two months before each set of exams (having not attended any lectures at all).
I also went from a D grade in maths GCSE to an A* with a months work.<p>I am not that smart - it&#x27;s just that standard schooling is terribly inefficient. And if you ask me, it&#x27;s inefficient in this respect because it&#x27;s not really about learning. It&#x27;s about keeping kids somewhere while their parents go to work - so that more value can be extracted from the working population. Oh and also about teaching the children to be good little employees.
