The first thing that came to my mind is my final exam after five years in high school, to be more precise, my math exam. I had to choose between two options for which kind of problem to solve because you have two options. You can choose between two different exercises, and you have to solve them. You have six hours to do one main problem and four other exercises in that time. I probably made the right choice because I managed to get 20 out of 20 on that exam, so that was great. I decided quickly because I saw the first option, the first problem, and I realized that I could do that one, so I didn't even look at the other option. Our professor told us that usually there is one standard problem and a more difficult one to choose from, so I saw that the first one was probably the easiest one. I went straight with that. As I said before, I achieved the maximum grade possible, so that's the reason I say it had positive consequences. In the end, after all the exams, I managed to get my degree with the highest grade possible, so that was something I was really proud of.
