YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED....

STILL HERE? OK......

Okay, so what are exams? Whenever any writer writes this question, they launch into a full explanation on what exams are, why are they important, why we should take them seriously, blah blah blah...….*yawn*. But I, my dear reader, am not going to bore with all those stuff. Nope, today, my friend, we are going to go into the world of students...decode the word 'exams'.....also decode the secrets of the universe, and .......wait for it......wait for it......save the world!!  Okay, okay, just kidding about the last part. 

Welp, (and no, that was not a typo, I'm  kinda crazy like that, deal with it) moving on.

 So exams, for a student, I should know 'cuz I am one, is basically a question paper and an answer sheet. The question paper contains the questions, and the answer sheet is where you write down the answers, as you can tell. But, it also contains the terror, the anxiety of what the question paper will hold. I mean, no matter how well you are prepared, there will always be a particular portion of the text that you are a little scared of. And I know how it feels when it is the exact portion the question comes from. Feels like the whole world is against you, doesn't it? *grimacing*

Now, lets be honest here. We all try to get the good marks to mostly to please our parents. I know I do. Its not like they pressure me or something, but its just satisfactory, seeing them smile. 

And when I mess up on an answer, I'm mostly worried about what my mom will say, rather than thinking about the mistake itself (No offence to parents or anything).

Now, in all my years of being a student(sounding like a wise old grandpa, ain't I? *smirks* ) I have not yet found out the purpose of exams. If anyone has, please let me know. Is it for assessing us? I don't know... 

From what I have seen, exams just come with a bundle of nerves and last minute cramming. And as my dad says, if you haven't studied the whole year, its no use doing it in the last evening before the exam.

I think pop quizzes are more relevant. That way you can check whether you know stuff or not. And no last minute cramming.

I also think people should make stuff more concept based. I mean anyone can mug up the book, or text, or whatever. That's irrelevant(wow! a big word!). But the students gotta understand the thing itself. 

What is the meaning of education? 

The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.

No, seriously. I got this from google. But where is that knowledge we are supposed to be gaining?  I don't know.

Well, looks like we've reached the end. Did I really talk about (or write about) what exams are? I probably should have named it as -
