They are meant to test your intelligence, your knowledge on certain things but realistically, it does not come out it is supposed to be. Do you know what I am talking about? If you know the answers to this question, ‘congratulations, you are not a mugger or you are a mugger who knows what the non-muggers face. If you do not know the answer, I have only one word for you, that you have no life and continue mugging, for you do not have a future.
I am not trying to insult or scold the muggers but I am just trying to express what is deep down in my heart. The answer to the question is ‘tests’. Why do I say that they are not testing and knowing our intelligence and knowledge on certain things? This is because in tests nowadays, you could easily score a distinction but do you really know what it was talking about and what it really meant?
In tests nowadays, all the answers to the questions could be found in their notes, in the textbook so how could it really be to test our intelligence and knowledge when it is very obvious that everyone could pass with distinction if they study and memorize everything given? Also, you just need to analyze and predict what the teacher is going to give in the test and memorize all the examples given by her or go to the internet to find an answer. It is very ironic to say that it is to test our intelligence and knowledge when it is very obvious that it is testing our mugging skills? Why not call it the arts and acts of mugging or reading your teacher’s mind?
Also, the tests also test your skills of not making mistakes. For example, when you are doing science you wrote the correct chemical name, you remembered the chemical number but forgot to take the 2s away when there was ‘2’ on both sides and you got 0 marks. Doesn’t this show that the teacher doesn’t care about whether you know what the chemical is and that you only made a careless mistake, at least I remembered the chemical symbol and power right? This further showed that the teacher nowadays only care about your answer and that they only cared about your answer, they want you to give an answer that they want and there you go, you got the marks, even if you are to forget all the things after it.
Also, the tests also tests whether you have enough time to study and that what CCA you are in. If you joined a CCA that only requires you to go one day and you have no extra lessons, then you can stay at home mugging but for many, their CCAs require full commitment, they must attend their CCA and when they go home at night, they had already lost off to those who had already started mugging at home as they had nothing to do at school. Having extra lessons also makes you have less time to study and have more subjects to study for but for many, it is worth it to go through the trouble as they get to learn new things.
From all that I have said, we can draw a conclusion, a conclusion that tells you that even if you have good exam grades, it does not mean that you truly understand it., having good exam grades does not mean that you will have a bright future waiting for you, that good exam grades will bring you jobs, bring you food because in the community now, it is not what you can knows that matters, it is what you truly understand, what you can achieve and how you present yourself that matters. If the current system of study is not changed, I believe that in the near future, it will no longer be the academics that matter, and that the exam slips will become trash, something that is totally useless.
