Have to give you credits for trying to come up with a story twist in order to throw "cliche" off balance but that is just not right.

Imagine you study until primary (education) exam, failing it, study extra extra hard, pass primary, study harder, pass secondary, study at your hardest, pass tertiary but right when you are about to get your certificate(s) of acknowledgement, someone comes along and snatch it away from you, leaving you with nothing... And that person who snatch your rightfully cert(s) goes to become a significant CEO of an enterprise, earning big bucks, living luxuriously while you end up struggling to make ends meet due to the lack of educational qualification... a happy ending (from your hard studies) is so cliche???

Study hard (on everything) to earn good grades in exam IS cliche, study smart to earn good grades is the twist element you are looking for here...
