exams are not important
Exams are Less Important Than What You Think
A lot of people fall into the trap of thinking that “A students” are highly intelligent. Just because some students get good grades in educational institutions, that doesn’t mean they always have a good ability in acquiring and applying knowledge and skills. When it comes to thinking critiqually, are exams an adequate from of assignment? Do they always give students an opportunity to learn? Well, at first, one may not realize that exams matter less than what they think, however, when it comes to digging deeper, they would understand the reason why.
“I failed in some subjects in exam, but my friend passed in all. Now he is an engineer in Microsoft and I am the owner of Microsoft.” (Bill Gates, n.d.). Failing in exams is not always associated with the innate intelligence; there are many factors that can cause the issue of performing poorly. For example, some students could be less prepared than other students who come with a stronger foundation; while they build strong towers, one particulate student would be still digging the base. In addition to that, some students mismanage their time during the exam; it is one of the main factors that cause exams failures. Of course, not being able to answer all the questions during the exam’s time will surely lower the final score. Thus, some students might get low scores although the have the knowledge and the ability to answer all the questions. Therefore, exams are not always an adequate form of assessing intelligence. In fact, if mental acuteness were indented to be measured by exams, there would be no point of letting students prepare and study for them.
If exams manage to equalize all humans’ abilities, and restrict the world so everyone is expected to have the same prior knowledge, intelligence would not matter. Certainly, intelligence has an important influence on one’s learning capability. In a hypothetical world, some individuals learn faster than others because they
