I am in the middle of my final exam for my Foundation Studies and I was wondering... what exam means to me? What exam means to you?

For me, exam is a means to get to higher education *a true lie*

How bout you?

it's a wake up call to let you know that your carefree life is over and it's time to get your butt off the couch and do something useful with yourself.

It means less sleep...

vccy118 · 24th Jan 2006, 02:23 PM

Haha, that depends on how 'hardworking' and 'diligent' you are towards your studies...

For me, it is the same... just that my play time is cut short

exams are important. at least for me personally.

it examines your cooperative capability, which is essential when you work on team projects in the future (you can be software engineer, contractor, soldier)

it also helps in brain development as you will need to brainstorm new messages passing ideas from time to time..very tricky. (it lays the foundation in developing good algorithms, modernizing old building, planning assaults)

the true purpose behind exams is to avoid getting caught when you are attending one..not scoring the best point. if you are really that good, you can be secret agent for your country.

thats why those who cheat on exams always have the coolest, Neo looks while top students will eventually work as priests, preacher or in a lab playing with mice and figuring out the history of the purple dinosaur.

Nuff said!

I'm a very big and bad cheater in exams. Big? Because I cheated a lot. Bad? Because I still failed my exams...

LOL!! Exams for me are a necessary evil. I hate them.. but I understand the need for them.

Oh well, like them or not, we still have to go through them.
