Hello /sci/. I think the title says it all.

That aside, here's my shitty sob story, just to rant. Personally, I am failing, and at this point I don't know how to tackle my problems in academia. I never managed to have high grades or even test scores. I have genuinely believed I was lazy, or retarded, and have extensively looked into both of these hypothesis, but it simply isn't true. I put in the hours, made an effort, have taken different IQ tests (most of them showing results above 110, usually at 120, at very least that should get me in the average), etc.
Now I am in Med school, and I score lower than average most of the time. I explored the fact that I might not like what I do, but I actually do love it, and I don't suck working at it, I just can't fucking do well in written tests. I even dominate most oral presentations, but at the end I barely pass. Some of my classmates hate me, because while I am able to answer most logical (and on the spot) questions easily they seem to think I'm some sort of slacker who is wasting his intelligence.
