Exam Time

The exams r once again upon us. i actually have an exam this morning which i am very nervous about.
i have a lot less exams now then last year but you you have to learn heaps more just for that one exam.
i do not exam well. i tend too hyperventlate half way through. once i actually throw up on top of the exam paper. the superviser just moved me to another desk and gave me a fresh paper. did`nt even clean it up so i had to look at my vomit the whole way through the exam. started to smell too.
any other exam meltdowns out there?

I feel sorry for the other people. I hope their exam chances weren't ruined because of your being sick. Indeed I'm sure hyperventalating would have been quite distracting too! Nevertheless, I hope you feel better this year - and do well too!

i just dont agree with a one size fits all paper that detemans the worth of thousands of DIFFERENT types of kids.
exams are nothing to do with how much you know just how much you can cram in your head beforehand . in the the real world they dont make you memorize loads of facts without referance.
but what mainly bugs me is they make us go through this gruelling exam process we work really hard then afterwords they just complain that its too easy.

This is true - there are many different types of intelligence and the standardised exams don't always reflect these. However, it's the only way of doing things otherwise people would have al these different kinds of qualifications and you would never be able to compnare them, which is obviuosly important for uni / jobs.

However, I swear the exams are getting easier! How else can you explain the pas rate going up all the time. There is no way the kids are just getting increasinly smart!

well docters cant really help since of course the symptoms go as soon as the exams over.
