It seems to me with the birth of the internet that exams are now pointless in the sense of testing students on their knowledge. Instead they test on to what extent we can remember the mark scheme from last year’s exams; making it a battle of memory not knowledge. Exams are now just a way of showing that you have a brain and know where to gather information. Is there really a need to know everything now, when you can just Google it? perhaps this old fashioned ranking system needs an update with the times.
