I Actually Planned To Start Posting again Back In December 2012 but didnt manage too heres a draft I found that
Hello World, And everyone in it.
It's DjKagamine here and it's been quite some time since I updated anything here on K-Radio13.
And/or any of our connecting websites.
A lot of things been happening and a lot of things change in the recent months and with all the things in such a big cluster I didn't really have much time to start posting anything, Be it a bad excuse or a good one and excuse is still an excuse and mine is just the facts that I have my Final IGCSE Exams coming up on May 2013, with trial exams just around February 12th. So I've been quite busy with a lot of exam preparations and as well as being editor of the memory book committee it doesn't help my workload but adds more responsibility. Blogging to me is something I do in spare time and recently didn't really have much.
For any final year students out there, It is quite an important year for you and it's something to take to a level of seriousness. Which completely goes against what i believe because i think exams really are pointless,
Now the reason why I think exams are pointless well there's many reason for that and it's not those kinds of reasons that I don't like it or don't want to study but a bit more valid reason some of you may agree with or maybe disagree in some certain points.
Exams are very one-sided that test you on the things you learnt in school any is supposed to be a way to check on a students knowledge on the things you learn in that class. Now the reason why I say one sided is because for one thing is the part of the subject you learn in your school may not really interest you and in ways make you think how pointless it is.
Like for example in my school which follows British Curriculum. So i'm a business student in my IGCSE course so my main subjects are Economics,Business Studies,Accounting and ICT. When I ask my friends who are Science Stream Students (Main Subjects including - Physics,Chemistry,Biology & ICT)(Depending on which you choose you could get ICT or Pure Maths as a main subject). About some physics related question, Like why is it dark at night or if i talk about the black hole theory, I find it funny that I as a business student would be able to say I know just a bit more physics then you as a science student. That's what this video down below may explain in a way, Though its not directly British Curriculum I find this kinda true. That maybe the students in High School Level maybe able to appreciate the higher levels of physics.
Ok so after watching that videos you may sorta understand what I'm trying to explain about how the topics taught at schools really give a bad impression on subjects.And it seems I really drifted away from the topic of exams.
Ok so back to exams and their pointlessness.
Students tend to have this natural interest in things that there usual not forced to learn.
I'm not sure if this is for all of you but that's how I feel and a lot of people I know feel.
Lets take History for example as it seems something i can make an example of,
Lets say your school teaches about King Henry the VIII.
After reading about it in class and attending classes on it you maybe interested you may not all depending on how it was first introduced to you as a topic which could be the teacher's teaching style or the way your exams are formatted that really discourages you to study it. If the exams required long detailed answers with exact dates and etc you may feel really discouraged to learn the topic but when it comes to looking online at some stories about the roman empire you feel somewhat ok to learn more about it. Like their lifestyle and what things did they invent or random things like that,
When it comes to studying freely you feel more interested in it like you don't have to remember dates but you roughly know when it was and you have some understanding of what happened first and second and so on.
Now it seems i really do seem to get of topic with my examples so I'll just get to my point and right things in short form.
- Exams really forces a certain kind of stress to students and in some way discourages them to learn in but at the same time the reward of a good mark may encourage them to do otherwise so overulled point
-Very Important Exams feel very pointless because it tests you in certain topics and really doesn't allow you show your overall knowledge on the subject.
