Schrödinger's Mark is a situation that refers to a student who feels a lack of confidence, such that they are too ashamed to check their mark; choosing instead to live in a state of artificial emotional neutrality - thinking that their mark is both good and bad - as opposed to taking a gamble and having their next few days be either miserable or joyful.
This is similar to the quantum-physics theory known as Schrödinger's cat, whereby until the box is opened (or, in this case, when the student checks their mark); it is not known whether or not the cat is alive or dead - or, in this case, whether or not the mark is one which the student would be happy or unhappy with.
To conclude, by choosing not to check what mark was achieved, the student can live in the aforementioned state of ignorant emotional neutrality.

Student 1: "Shit man, I don't think I did too well on that test"
Student 2: "Damn, you gonna check your mark?"
Student 1: "Nah bro, no way. I don't want my day ruined. Even if I somehow did well, I don't want to take that chance"
Student 2: "Well shit, real Schrödinger's Mark situation, ain't it?"

A weak or trifling ass person; labeled as a "mark" indicating they're vulnerable to getting rocked. Just an all-around trick.

Mark is a cretin
The lowest form of humanity. A person that is a waste of air. A person who is lazy and dosent contribute anything to society.

The Mark Effect (n.)
The psychological phenomenon in which an individual with little to no offline grounding begins to place disproportionate importance on online achievements, perceiving them as markers of superiority. Over time, this distorted valuation erodes their sense of reality, leading to an inability to distinguish between their digital persona and their real-life self.
