    Study Summaries?

    lol i didnt think that was what the OP was asking.. i thought they were asking whether you categorise making summaries as a form of studying, not whether their class at school makes study summaries. correct me if im wrong, but that's just how it seemed to me..

    please note that just because you got 98 on your SC for a subject, DOES NOT mean that you made "two mistakes".. the result that is imprinted on your SC is a RANK, indicative of your performance on a state scale, as opposed to a mark which suggests the number of errors you made. i just thought...
