My therapist and I spent most of our session today discussing this, actually, after I delighted him with the news that I'd spontaneously written a responsibilities list along the lines of "I am not required to get perfect grades; learning is for fun and personal enrichment". We discussed information vs. cognition, performance anxiety and off-track thinking, methods of test-writing, how some of the most brilliant people I know have a lesser degree (or none at all), and lots of other stuff. It was awesome.
