It's the entire set-up of the exams that I think is ridiculous. Every single exam I write I can get the multiple choice down to the two best options 95% of the time. I can explain to myself what each option is, in relation to the question, and why each may be right and may be wrong. The thing is though, unless you've sat down and memorized each specific situation to the dot, there's no way of knowing for sure which it really is. You're either right or you're wrong. There's no tests for how sociable you are, your personality, how you can interact in a workplace, things which actually matter. All the education system proves is "This person can memorize information" which is actually the most irrelevant skill out of any. Sure, the incredibly smart and students with extreme work-ethic succeed in this environment, but I just don't see it as relevant. The field I'm entering, and my job in particular in that field, has nothing at all to do with information, business practices, etc. These skills are useful, but not at all the focus to my profession. I'm finishing school with marks which give no indicator to how I actually would do in the workplace.
