Let’s be honest — the modern exam system is like Windows XP: outdated, lagging, and somehow still running half the world.
We’re in an era where ChatGPT can write essays, Google can answer anything in 0.3 seconds, and students can literally learn quantum physics from YouTube tutorials narrated by a guy in his pajamas.
And yet, we’re still out here asking kids to memorize the periodic table like it’s 1956.
The Great Academic Joke
“Exams test knowledge,” they said. Sure. The same way running on a treadmill tests your ability to survive in the wild.
Exams don’t measure intelligence. They measure how well you can regurgitate information under pressure while your brain silently screams and your hand cramps into a claw.
Let’s call exams what they are:
- Anxiety factories.
- Sleep deprivation competitions.
- Elaborate guessing games disguised as “evaluation.”
We’ve built an entire system on the fantasy that remembering facts equals understanding them. Spoiler: it doesn’t.
