Take the hit

The act of willingly not studying "testable" exam material due to the perceived time costs associated with learning said material exceeding the perceived benefits of potential marks one would receive from studying said material.

Lianne, don't bother studying the PT 863 Geriatrics - student group presentations. It's not worth it. Just take the hit! #Takethehit

take advantage

''Take Advantage''

To take advantage of someone is usually to unfairly get what you want from someone who is easily persuaded to help you, trust you, or do things for you

He wasn't able to take advantage of me because I am not easy to persuade,

But he took advantage of the next person by persuading them with clothes/shoes/sweets etc.
