I just want to know and use commonly used phrases but in textbooks are included all the idioms that exist. So, I wanted to ask you if the following school-related expressions are common in English? By 'common,' I mean to be used by, let's say, about 70% or more. Or, to put it more simply, is there any expression that is less common?
1. catch up
2. ace a test
3. pass with flying colours
4. burn the midnight oil
5. brainstorm something
6. cover a lot of ground
7. learn something by heart
8. brush up on (something)
9. cut class
10. drop out
P.S. Can I start a new thread with another group of idioms?
