...EXAM An exam is an official test that shoes your knowledge or ability in a particular subject. Some people, however, argue that exam only is a kind of memory skill. They say that many people have a good memory and a special ability to pass exams and achieve brilliant results, though they have no capacity for original thought or imagination. But it should be realized that today the syllabuses are so extensive that a student cannot expect to pass an examination by relying entirely on his memory. There are many good things about the exam but also have bad things too. The exam is important to everyone because you can know your real knowledge that you really know. From the exams, you can also know your weakness. The exams require us to manage our time and to plan well. This can help us develop our management skills. If you have the plan to do something, you will be a diligent person. Many students that extra ordinary qualities are built up due to exam and they built up a great personality in their life because of exam. Besides, the minds of students, even if they are dull, receive good exercise when they prepare for the exams. But the exams increase the stress level of students because of parental and our expectations. All parents want their children to be the best. Sometimes they don’t know what the children feel. Students may suffer from the consequences of stress and anxiety during exam preparation so they may show poor performance in exams...

Overall this year’s cohort performed very well; 147 students took the assessment of these 5 obtained marks in the 1st class category, 68 obtained 2:1, 54 2:2, 16 3rd class and 4 students failed. In percentage terms this is a 97% pass rate. With the average mark skewed towards the 2:1 level. Given that a significant number of the students were on our top up degrees programme and therefore did not have English as their first language, this was a particularly gratifying result. (handling of specific questions/sections and strengths/weaknesses in relation to each question ) 1. The exam is separated into two sections, section A was related to a case study that the students received around 3 weeks prior to the examination and section B addressed some of the conceptual material from the module. In general students handled section A, very well, having been briefed on the key issues, they prepared themselves well for the case study element.

...When you hear the word exams, you usually get to be anxious about them, and about the possibility of passing or failing them. For me, exams are not a thing to be scared of. I know that some exams are very important in life but I don’t see a tragedy in failing them. You will always have a second chance to make things better as long as you will fight and learn more. I think that exams are not accurate measure of a person’s ability. Many people can get scared and they could panic and fail exams, not because they don’t have the necessary information to pass them, just because of the fact that they get very nervous, and usually they can’t concentrate enough. I understand them, because a few years ago it was a problem for me too. After a lot of exercises I managed to overcome my fears, and now I am very accustomed to exams. As a start point, we can say that people are different and it is a known fact that being different has its bonuses, but it also defines us and the way we can be and are appreciated. Therefore, an individual cannot necessarily be compared with another one because our minds and our talents don’t function in the same way. Exams test students for the same abilities ,in the same way. This can affect the grade or the overall measure of the ability tested. It is true that people have different talents, that people manifest themselves in various ways and domains. For example, an artist can choose to paint a picture of a beautiful landscape...

Based upon Remarks by the President in his Address to the Nation on the Way Forward in Afghanistan and Pakistan, what vital national interest does he see at stake in Afghanistan and how does our involvement support that interest? President Obama see’s the “security of the United States and the safety of the American people at stake in Afghanistan” (Obama 5). “It is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan” (Obama, 4).
