For example, if a student targets grade \u2018A\u2019, he knows that even if he obtains 90 marks he will be put under \u2018A\u2019 grade, so he does not target 100 marks.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"f2052a3a-cbb0-2510-5901-ff5c7a812705\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;f2052a3a-cbb0-2510-5901-ff5c7a812705&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">As learners know that they can easily get the targeted grades, they do not put much effort in their studies.<\/p>\n<h3 data-w-id=\"28ff2a75-a7fc-47f3-cbb9-8f23d24d6a29\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;28ff2a75-a7fc-47f3-cbb9-8f23d24d6a29&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">2.

On average grade \u2018A\u2019 ranges somewhere between 90% to 100% , so the students who score 90% get grade \u2018A\u2019, on the same hand the students scoring 95% also get grade \u2018A\u2019 due to which brighter students lose their enthusiasm in studying.<\/p>\n<h3 data-w-id=\"111de306-0c96-c2d0-d9b2-f3ea71c91f7f\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;111de306-0c96-c2d0-d9b2-f3ea71c91f7f&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">5.
