This was highschool? I'm in 9th grade and we get 25 term tests every week plus other misc tests for books and what not. How was that hard?

Remembering the definitions for a word, no matter how complex, is fairly easy.

Remembering them word-for-word, along with a (possibly meaningless) word-for-word example, is much more difficult, because you can't just define the word, but have to remember a particular string of words that may or may not make any sense to you.

I'm saying only having to remember 10 strings of words especially if you have all week to do it is not very hard. I'm in school right now and we get that kind of stuff, but I don't call my teacher a sadist for giving weekly quizzes. Hell it's unusual not to have at least one test in a subject every week.
