OK, that is a very good question. The biggest misconception about marks and intelligence is that they are equivalent to each other: if you have one then you must have the other. Unfortunately, they are not. Grades measure your performance in school, while intelligence measures your performance in life in general.You might know yourself that in school, you are given the material then tested on it. But in life, you are given the test first. Your challenge in school is to mentally ingest as much knowledge as possible to excel on tests. Your challenge in life is to find the right information, look at big pictures, and take the steps you think are right. Your good grade on a test measures your success in school, while the positive impact on your life resulting from a decision you've made measures your success in life. The reason why you were left thinking for a little bit is because you started to realize the difference between school and life. Yes, there is quite a difference! College resembles real life more than K1-12. That is why most students find it challenging to adjust. Like I mentioned before that finding the right information is a common challenge in life, but some of the knowledge you gather in school will serve you later. It will not serve you in all circumstances, however. You have to get out there and learn the hard way sometimes.
To sum it up: Intelligence is a broad measurement of performance that includes good grades, but they are not the only thing. Those peers of yours that claim you are not smart are mistaken. you are smart because you have found a way to excel at what you want, in this case it is school. It is the desire to succeed that drives you in the direction of success in any of your endeavors.
