Examination the true test of knowledge

[pengbarya]

I don't think that passing an examinations is the measure of knowledge, for me, we were all born different means you may not be intelligent at some point/subject/profession etc but there is something that is made for you that you might excell.

classroom examination is not a true test of knowledge otherwise we wouldn't have educated illiterates all over our street because based on class room test they are geniuses but in reality they manipulate to get the grades. examination comes with different kinds of pressure, fear and even sickness, so naturally even the best brains out of tension and pressure do come out without any flying colour. i have witnessed a situation where a first class and a lower class students went for interview but the first class student didn't know as little as where to append his signature, because the grade on paper is not contained in the brain  whereas the lower grade student who is brilliant got the job. it may sound unbelievable but this is a real eyewitness.

Examination is not the true test of knowledge. It is actually giving out what one is expected to know through his teachers/instructors or personal study within a certain period of time which can never be compared to the full understanding of the entire concept. Under examination condition candidates cannot cover holistically everything on a subject or topic as they are to provide answers to specific question administered with time. In fact in some examination candidates are asked not to answer all the questions. As a result in that area the knowledge of the candidate will not be revealed to the examiner.

The guy with the best grades in class will tell you that examinations are the true test of knowledge. The one with worse grades will say otherwise. So, it is left to the average guys like us to decide In the end, I think examinations are just examinations. Knowledge is not the only factor that influences their outcome. Time and chance come to play a major role. But when a student continues to do well or badly consistently in their examinations, then it's quite convincing how much they know. Irrespective of examination results, we all should pursue knowledge.
