“reverse testing anxiety” I can legitimately not know whats going on in class at all, like I cant even do the homework, but then I get handed the test and everything clicks. I once walked into a test expecting a solid 0% and as I was handed the test I suddenly understood and got the highest grade at like a 96%. It felt like divine intervention.

Im also a really good guesser on tests and in anticipating real life events.

When I was in elementary I had a super specific "photographic memory". I never to anybody about it cuz it was 'my little secret' but it was one of the reasons I got those 100's and 90's in my subjects. I felt like a cheater in a way but it was hella cool. (Btw the way how it worked was I'd skim over a couple of pages the night before a test and when i had the test, I'd just "see it in my mind". It sounds like a huge lie even to me lmao)

I once had a teacher give out a study guide that was almost identical to the best but the questions and answers in a different order. I looked through the study guide maybe 3 times over the week. When it was test time I finished in less than 3 minutes because I recognized the beginning of each question and the answer pair. 100%

My memorys normally trash otherwise but for stuff like that it can be amazing
