>GPA should be a result of mastering the material.

I know that personally my grades don't tend to correlate with my actual knowledge at all. I've failed things because I've been bored with them, and I've gotten perfect grades on things I don't understand at all outside the tested material.




Same, I think this is the assumption that doesn't always hold up. However, it often does, and how well it does depends on the teachers and school.
