Does aneyone elce beleve that exams do not reflect the scills and abilatey of the person taking them

Clearly not if you passed English Computermasher,

But to be serious, YES.

If you learn a subject, or just learn 'life' through experience, then at some point you will need to prove that you know your subject, or just that you know what you are talking about.

In the former you will have to be tested on your knowledge, in the latter on your common sense. Either way there will have to be some measure of your ability.

Exams as such may carry some didtortion due to illness or perhaps 'nerves', but if you have studied enough, applied yourself enough you should be able to pass any exam.

If you're taking some . GOOD LUCK

Although, to be fair, exams do often favour certain types of people. Some people are very good at exams because they are good at thinking on their feet, writing concisely, are organised, and so on, while other people just do not have those skills. I know some very intellegent people who, given time, can write the most outstanding essays but fail to impress when it comes to exams. Succeeding in exams does require knowledge and ability in the subject, but it also requires skills that are not necessarily a reflection of one's ability in that subject.

Having said that, still try your best.
Good Luck.
