Smarty Pants?

Jake is an excellent student and has always gotten good grades. I give him a hard time because I feel like I spend 3 times longer a day studying, and he still gets better grades. This semester he has a Information Technology Management class. English is not his teacher's first language and Jake had a hard time understanding him. So he decided that he would do the work on his own and go in for the tests. He did excellent on the first exam. The teacher gives them 3 tests but averages the best 2. After Jake took the first test he felt he could keep studying at home and show up occassionally to check in. He missed a couple weeks of class due to sickness, among other things. He told me he had a test coming up so he needed to go to class to see when it was. He was sitting in his desk when the teacher walked in with a large stack of papers. Jake nervously looked around the room and realized that it was test day!

As you can see Jake managed to get a 16% on the exam.
