      Good point to ponder.


      I have seen many late developers in life who's so so in Pri, so so in Sec and even so so in JC, but score 3 distintions in Uni's subjects.

      But do not lose heart, acadamic is only one of the path which all can take as a ticket to maybe \"better life\", but it is not the only way.
      I took around 30 modules (subjects?) in university and more than half of them are distinctions (A and A+). I think it is quite common to get distinctions in Uni. πŸ˜„

                    You are talking about the entire Uni years?

                    I am talking about this ordinary person who Pri, Sec and JC just kind of scrap through to reach Uni and first year in Uni (under old system, not the current flexi system), out of the only few modules in first year, 3 distinctions (grades better than A) and the rest A.

                    Here I am talking about the really late developers who only bloom in the Uni and not earlier, because they find those subject before Uni boring, this group may not make it to Uni under current system, and parents may have to send them overseas Uni.

                    If you are all the way from Pri, Sec and JC getting distinctions, than Uni getting distinction is not so eyebrow raising anymore.
