1. Learn to understand,
not to secure marks
Distinguish between learning the
concept and focusing on securing
marks.
2. Discerning contrasts between
Knowledge and Learning
.
"Education teaches
students how to learn and
to have a love of learning.
Understanding is integral
to this notion and memory
tests have absolutely
nothing to do with
education. If you
understand something, you have
no need to remember it."
3. Importance of Understanding
Information Instead of Memorizing It
Intelligence refers to the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and
skills. You cannot apply the knowledge you have learnt without
comprehending it.
You may forget what you have memorized, but you will not forget
what you have understood.
Understanding is about rationalizing observations and carries us forward
into unexplored territory and encourages us to expand our horizons.
4. Importance Being Given To Each
Aspect
• Studies show that over 95 percent of the institutions prefer
scoring students rather than those with better knowledge and
understanding skills.

5. The Philosophy Of Scoring Marks
Employers and most institutions give due value to the certificates
with good grades.
Such philosophy may seem to be temporarily beneficial, it's not a
long term vision.
A person with a not-so-attractive entry level job may keep on
progressing with his career if he has given emphasis to
understanding, sincerity and hard work.
