I used to answer instantly with a weird method so I only got a portion mark of what I answer correctly.
Instinctive problem solving actually bad if you doing it without a proper work shown.

 

[wahyurockajn]

well somehow for me i'm doing well for normal lesson but when it come to test i got suck because the pressure of time and the need to show the proper work kinda trouble me as well

 

[thetidur]

yeah, I wish I could get a full score without following my teacher's method, damn school sucks

 

[flannan]

I'm usually using the standard method, but writing everything down is too much work, so I usually skipped about every other step. Teachers weren't happy, but there is a limit to how much work I could do to please them.
Worked at school for a few months recently, and I think school started sucking even more, and the teachers' demands got even more inane. This country is going to hell.

Doing exams is communicating with the teachers, so it's the best to go their way to reach some kinds of mutual understanding. The same goes for hitting on girls, just go along with them in most cases and you may get a girlfriend in no time.
Having your own answers is fine too, but since there are various ways to do things, why not go for the most beneficial one?

 

[Tezcatlipoca]

spank me, mistress!!

but yeah teachers and school sucks

Thanks for the translation.

The annoying shit is that using somewhat unorthodox methods can make some teachers get lost in your solution, even though the solution is correct (and justified) per se. I usually jump a bunch of steps so mastering how much to write vs. how much to skip was a real pain for me

 

[TeslaBean]

The only reason I get low scores on math is because I have to show the work. Like you know that I’m right, I know that I’m right it doesn’t matter that I skipped a couple steps it’s not like they were crucial to understanding how I got my answer

 

[Shigeruguy]

Recently I got 100% of the questions right on a test, but I got a C- for the grade, because the teacher "didn't like how I showed my work". It's not like I didn't show my work, I did, it's just she somehow expected me to show it in a way that she never said was required. I want to kill myself. God fricking darn it.

 

[Unknown9102]

@Shigeruguy, Ikr? All my math teachers do that to me.

 

[Derpsterette]

@TeslaBean I get people saying they did it a different method to the one expected and are deserving of full marks when they get the answer. However, I think that not showing a few steps of working is a bad habit in the instance of getting something wrong, as there could be a mark or two in those lines that you could miss out on, as the teacher or assessor has no way of knowing what you tried to do.

Misuzu here reminds me of myself to our dogs.. like if they became naughty, one stick slapping sound they turn back to normal.

Bad habit? Nope. Just look at university-level textbooks, where they skip giant amounts of steps. And get professionally published.
"Showing your work" is just child abuse.

I am currently a university-level maths student,

We show our working and don't use textbooks.

Minored in math (CS major), we absolutely had to show our work, you got more points for the work than the answer, and what little books were used were quite thorough.

Uni was ALL about the theoretical fundamentals and applying those to different processes, rather than practical solutions and work. The idea was that you don't get taught to work on something, you get taught to gain an understanding of the thing that you can then use to learn almost anything else related to it.

And honestly it was too much of that, some more practical stuff would have been good. Learning the fundamentals of computers is all fine and good, but I don't think learning to do literal machine code on a step by step simulated 8-bit computer really prepared me for the job market... Many people from polytechnics and other more vocational higher education institutions were much more well prepared for actually doing a job.
