This happened to me. I was a pretty good kid; brainy too, but one history test kicked my ass. The teacher was the husband of my grandfather's sister. A distant family cut me a break.

This phenomenon can continue into adulthood too.

However, after a certain point it's not about the grades you make. It's about the hands you shake.
