People think my 99-plus ATAR qualifies me to be a bona fide genius, but I assure them that the longer they get to know me, the more they’ll realise this: in the HSC, I just played the system. I don’t think I’m necessarily any smarter than anyone else; I just did exactly what the markers wanted. This approach works for me at university, too. I’m about to graduate with a science degree that I don’t feel I deserve, because I can recall barely any of the content I’ve studied in the past four years.

As students at high school, we were taught to the exam; as students at university, we carry that habit over, so that even if we are interested in the subjects (and for the most part, I was), in the back of our minds we are always thinking, "Will this be in the final exam?" Unsurprisingly, I fare much worse in practical assessments at university than my grade point average would suggest. During the two internships I have undertaken, I have struggled to retain and apply new skills, as well as accept critical feedback. I’m an employer’s second choice: good on paper but doesn’t deliver.

It shouldn’t come as a complete surprise that young Australians aren’t happy with their high school education. Who could be content with a system that hallows perfectionism, trains students to memorise and regurgitate content in rigid exam formats, and allows such little room for creativity? The more the years pass since I graduated from high school, the more I have come to see the flaws in the system I once revered.
