To do well at school, college or university you usually need to do well in exams. All the students 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.
