bang for the buck

A

~Worth the money you spend

Q

Headsup

A

~ An advance notice, just to remind you something is coming so better be prepared

It’s easier to get A and A+ in Canada than in Vietnam because professors usually give students a heads-up
before the exams on what chapters to focus on. I feel like I get more bang for the buck
