Starting APs

I'm reminded of the classic real life example of trying to maximise your starting APs.

Student has 'English Lit' of 17 and 'knows Henry V so well he could have written it himself' 5w.
English exam comes up and the paper is about Oliver Twist. Student starts his essay with "The story of Oliver Twist can best be described by comparing it to Henry V........"

Of course as a HW student he should have reversed his skills in the first place because specialism is much less effective.
