The subjects that were dearest to the examiners were almost invariably those I fancied least... I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. They always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not to well in examinations.
-- Winston Churchill
**The exam paradox**
The Oxford Scientist
_"The grass is not greener on any side, because no amount of A/A* grades can replace the raw, unfiltered experiences of growing up; we only have one childhood and often we must make sacrifices for our future self. The current job market is saturated with graduates—a degree on its own is no longer as valuable as it used to be—and you need more than good grades to stand out."_
**Could you pass an English exam from 1913?**
Janine Machin
_"The exam comprised a series of papers on phonetics, grammar, and translation, which took 12 hours to complete."_
