You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, fast-moving story about ambition, money, and moral gray areas in school life; Not for you if you hate exam stress or want a lighter teen drama like On My Block.
Pros: gripping exam-room tension; clever schemes; relatable school pressure | Cons: stretches believability; some uneven pacing; ending may disappoint
