It’s like asking an athlete how fast he runs, or a basketball player what is the percentage of success in shooting three-pointers, which It is a basic fact for any Olympian. In a student, knowing this information helps him be much more efficient, but not to do more Olympics, but to save time in his personal life. The good student is not one who dedicates 100% of his time. time to study but the one who dedicates the smallest possible proportion of time to studying and does all the things he likes in his free time.
