What is exam? After taking exams for 2+6+4+2=14 years and around 50 exams, I still don't understand the rationale behind it.
To test your standard of understanding? Then what's the point of national exam such as 'O' and 'A' level when the papers were not given back, so there's no way to know when went right or wrong?
To consolidate what you've learnt? Frankly, I had returned majority of what I've learnt during the 2 years in
JC to my teachers except for Chinese.
So what's the point of exam except at that moment it is larger than life? Larger than YOUR life. Life comprises of a lot of components, yourself, your family, yours friends.... But, No! During exam period that's nothing to life except for revising, revising and revising. (At least to me, its true.) No time for yourself, your family, your friends.
But if you look back 10 years later. Is that exam really important? Looking back now,
PSLE and 'O' level and maybe 'A' level 2 years ago were not as important as what I felt then...
