GajabKhopdi's Theory of Preparation-Outcome Relationship in Exams

For the past month or so I have been reading various theories under subjects like accounting and Organizational Behavior which state nothing but obvious facts. Some of them are so obvious that calling them a theory is as good as calling the Indian cricket team inconsistent.
However what all this has done is to inspire me to come up with a theory of my own :P
So readers, please bear with me for this one post and accept the post in good humor as this is certainly not an attempt at leading you to suicide :)

Note: Before you read the proposed theory, please bear in mind that it was formulated by me after two days of extreme humiliation in 4 exams

The Theory :

In an examination, there are 5 types of possible relationships between your preparation, the level of the subject and the outcome:

Type A: Subject is easy, you don't prepare and still perform well
e.g. What happened to me till class 10th

Type B: Subject is tough, you prepare well but still don't perform well
e.g. What happened to me in class 11th, 12th and during JEE preparation

Type C: Subject is tough, you don't prepare but still perform well
e.g. What happened to me during engineering

Type D: Subject is tough, you prepare well and therefore perform well
e.g What happens with all those 'toppers' around

Type E: Subject is tough, no matter how much you prepare or even don't prepare,you are bound to get screwed!
e.g Whats happening to me now!

Assumptions :

People don't prepare well when the subject is easy (Law of Complacency)

If you don't prepare well for a tough exam, either you are sure of Type C or you wanna screw yourself and are therefore not a valid sample (Law of Self Destruction)
or
You are just another Engineering student !
Exams are not meant for you!
