i sort of find it scary.. i think we are all been prep since young to get use to the exam climate... (although it's realli something that never enough practice will calm ur nerves)

you remember playing video games?? i remember myself playing mario and sonic. I shudder when i spotted some similarities with exams..

there is always a time factor. And within this time, u r mario, or u r sonic... trying to go through all the trials and tribulations that have been so meticulously set up for you so that u can fall into their every little single trap.. U jump past a hole, u shoot a menancing looking creature, you collect the coins along the way. Always hoping to get as many points as possible... at the end u fight the BOSS... Fighting BOSS is tough, u need enough power, stamina and strategy.. if you manage to kill BOSS, u proceed and they total up ur score.. ( i can hear the coins trickling as it is been counted)...

isnt it like exams... u r always against time... u need precision and accuracy as u read the qns and be sure not to fall into any of the traps set for u to fall into... as u answer a qns correctly, u pick up that coin... at the end of it, usually Section C is where u will meet BOSS.. by then u r tired, lack stamina and BOSS is actually 'innocently' waiting there for u for a long time.. u try to fight it... there is a time limit too... so u decide to use all that every bit of energy left in u and fight it all out.. at teh end of it, they will tabulate your score...

got negative marking, even more apt... u touch the monster creature accidentally, u can actually see coins dropping out of ur pockets.... rolling rolling away... ya just like the points we pain-stakingly build up rolling away...

sigh... now i finally understand the true purpose behind these 'educational' games.... just that now, we play them at a different scale... same rules apply.
