Alan knows 90% of the concepts behind the math test, and can do those 90% very quickly. He always gets 90% on timed math tests.
Bob knows 100% of the concepts, but is a slow worker. In the timed math test, he gets 75%, but, if given an extra 10 minutes, would get 100%.
Alan graduates with an A; Bob with a C.
