Ever since we took our first tentative steps into primary school, we have been practically snowed in with neverending tests, evaluations and exams. Barely a month went by without a stern teacher shoving a stack of blank sheets in our astonished faces demanding answers. With the sheer volume of exams questions thrown at us, is it any wonder that we're heartily sick of the system by the time we're in our late teens?
On the last day of medical school, I finally heaved a sigh of relief - and after the ritual burning of all my horrific lecture notes, I naively assumed that I'd never see the door of the examination hall ever again.
Obviously I was a little premature in that hope.
And now they have to introduce mock exams for us poor buggers over here. Why the hell do we need mock exams? Seriously. Isn't the killing stress at work enough to drive us to drink?
Exams. Sigh.
Maybe they just enjoy mocking us. :)

mock/trial exams are suppose to be something like a 'preview', i guess.
I usually choke on exams. So now I allow myself a chunk of time for that, then I get to the exam. Works pretty well for me. :)
you have a point, paul.
for me, mock exams will not relect what you'd get for the REAL ones. one thing for sure, if you really strive for it, you'll get it.
i've flunked my trial exam. for real. and guess what? the BIG one is just around the corner..
Yeah, exams are bummers. Nothing worse to torment (& insult) those in your noble profession than with mock exams. Not sure if it's relevant but in martial arts, we better get our techniques right or we might end up dead when we meet the real deal...
every single time. i feel like packing up my stuff and run out of the exam hall screaming...
"I feel like dying!!!"
Just like what Jay would do.
LOL. :)
I think exams are a evil tool for society to use to humiliate you and catagorize you as a loser or a winner. I find them really about how well you can memorize details. Real tests are the hands-on. I prefer those. :D
As a result of those exams dished out in cold methodical fashion on the island south of you, I now have permanent recurrent nightmares on them.
Enough stress already thinking about the exams .....
All the best dude
Speaking of exams, when was your last prostate exam doctor?
Mock exams are there for you to brush up on your cheating skills. During my time, mock exams and trials are also the season on leaked skema jawapan and unconfirmed 'tips'.
Do well and you become overconfident. Do badly and your morale is destroyed. Heh.
