Exam woes

As I speak, half a million students in England are revising for exams. I have to ask, is it all worth it? Exams are supposed to measure intelligence but surely someone’s intelligence is the sum of their achievements.

Basically I'm a little sick of having to do ICT exams containing irrelevant, incongruous facts and figures. Learning how the ‘Sales and Marketing’ department communicates with ‘Purchasing’ is actually business studies, a subject that I gave up a year ago (albeit with the highest grade possible).
