To do well at school, college or university you usually need to do well in exams. “ All studens hate exams” may be a generalization,but it is fairly true one. Certainly, all of the students I’ve known disliked doing exams. None of them thought that the exam system was fair ; to do well in an exam you simply had to be able to predict the questions which would be asked. This was the case as regards two students in my class at college. Both of them were exceptionally bright, but in the final year exam neither of them got an A grade. In fact, they both got Cs. The exam had tested us on questions which had come up the previous year. They had both assumed that the same questions wouldn’t come up again, and hadn’t prepared for them.
