Exams...

I am not one who likes studying for exams. Although I suppose there are few out there that actually do... Seriously though, exams were originally intended for one purpose. Learning. So you would think that perhaps writing an exam, studying again, and writing it again would prove to be more helpful to students than just exam after exam. Not only that, but what about those people with exam anxiety? Students who are brilliant, know the information well, inside and out, but when they are faced with the pressure of actually writing, go blank. Not nice. At all... But in reality I suppose exams are part of life. Testing to see what you actually know. If you think about it, would you want a doctor who graduated last in his class? Um. I'd rather have the guy who graduated first in his class. Then I know he knows what he is doing, and is not just randomly messing with patients. But still. Exams suck.
