It was like that with physics for me in high school. At ages 11-13 we learnt a bunch of stuff, which nobody except I paid any attention to, and then we had to do it all again, exactly the same stuff, for ages 14-15 to prepare for GCSEs. I was horribly bored, but at one point I was lucky enough that the teacher just gave me A-level and then early uni stuff to figure out, so that kept me busy. then first year of uni was horribly boring again, which led me to be over-confident, and didn't do much work in second year, but thankfully I managed to pick up the slack in 3rd and 4th year of uni.
