Gabuzda - You get a list of things to study for a test. You learn them

You get a list of things to study for a test. You learn them all like they're your life. Then the test is about something you never even heard of.

I studied all the math formulas. The test was about how to fold a sock.

The teacher told me to learn all the verbs. The test asked me what I did on my lunch break.

I memorized the whole book. The test had a question about my pet goldfish.
