Cardon Academy's exam week was notoriously referred to as "Hell Week" by its students—a nickname earned through the grueling schedule and intensity of the lessons.
It wasn't just the volume of material that made the week so challenging but also the unique approach the academy took to education and evaluation.
Unlike traditional exam systems, Hell Week wasn't designed to test whether students had mastered the lessons of an entire year.
Such an evaluation would have been impossible, given the academy's philosophy.
At Cardon, every student grew stronger at their own pace, with progress measured not by standardized benchmarks but by individual growth and potential.
Instead, Hell Week focused on evaluating how well students could adapt and learn under specific conditions.
The aim wasn't to test rote memorization or past achievements but to push students to overcome their current limits in real time.
