Terry Pratchett
“Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street-cleansing, fruit-picking and subway-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact.”
Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

Terry Moore
“I remember back when I was in school. When things were more normal. I remember how hard everything was. Every exam, every essay. I remember thinking how it would be easier to die than to write the first word on an empty screen. Every. Single. Time. And my parents always saying you'll be fine, you'll be fine. Stop worrying. You always do well. And I hated that they were right. I hated them for being right. Every. Single. Time. Because just once, I wanted someone to acknowledge how hard it all really was. The crying and the dying and the headaches and the heartaches. To say it out loud so that I could hear it. Just once. And then I'd just get on with it. But I'd know that they knew that it wasn't fine at all and that it probably never would be. But we'd just get on with it. Like we always do.”
Terry Moore

Adam Kay
“Another textbook cheerily informs me that ‘It’s quite possible to revise for MRCOG Part One in just six months, with an hour or two’s study every evening.� It’s one of those phrases that is intended to be reassuring but has the opposite effect, like ‘it’s only a small tumour� or ‘most of the fire’s been put out already�.
I’m not entirely sure where these extra couple of hours a day are going to come from � either I need to give up my frivolous hobby of sleeping or cut out my commute by living in a store cupboard at work. Oh, and my exam’s in four months, not six”
Adam Kay, This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

Our People are dying, it's not in our hands
But it's in our hands, don't let Pandemic Kill Humanity”

Peter Sacks
“For instance, there was the case of Nancy Schmeing, who had recently earned her doctorate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Incredibly, Schmeing failed the reading comprehension section of the new [Massachusetts] teacher test, which required one to quickly read short essays and then choose the one "best" answer among those provided by the test maker. The exam supposedly assessed one's ability to boil down the essential meanings of prose. Schmeing's failing the reading section created a small furor about the test's credibility. After graduating from MIT, Schmeing worked as a technical consultant, translating engineering, science, and business documents for clients around the world. Thus, the very nature of her work necessitated the ability to find essential meanings in written texts, to comprehend a writer's purpose, and so forth.

Moreover, Schmeing was a Fulbright scholar, had graduated magnum cum laude from college ... Schmeing's failure simply defied common sense, fueling concerns over the exam's predictive validity.”

“Traditionally, education was restricted to Muslim women, so If those housewives had any children to nurture, guess how their futures had been determined? The issue became more complicated when they had set a seal upon their hearings! The illiterate and ear sealed women, only heard what their husbands had injected deep into them, but today their literate and fully veiled girls do not hear well in the classroom, but they clearly hear the under veil wireless voice during the exams.”

“Yuletide Unburdening by Stewart Stafford

Fading embers of the final Christmas test,
No more the frantic angst of dawn,
Now it is poised last-minute checks,
And then the flushing of responsibility.

A fortnight of relaxation and merriment,
Awaits the temporarily-exonerated inmate,
Though it means entering the bruising storm,
Bartered freedom a passenger and guide home.

Cross the draughty, great hall, and finish line,
Whispered submission of completed exam papers,
And the old year's prescribed work is done,
Then outside, leaving others to their stress.”
Stewart Stafford

“The school for once was haunted � and students merely like dead souls wandering about. Everyone was in their own worlds � a world of textbooks. The street lights were on for longer durations. Playgrounds were for once study places. It was time for seriousness. Everyone dreaded to fail. It was as though the exams were a manifestation of death.”
Tshetrim Tharchen, A Play of the Cosmos: Script of the Stars

“ChatGPT Sonnet

ChatGPT is not a threat,
Any more than drugs are.
Ultimately it's just another test,
That helps strengthen character.
It is a helpful distraction that,
Reduces the competition exponentially.
As more boneheads use ChatGPT to cheat,
Worth of excellence will skyrocket globally.
Drugs used in moderation are medicine,
Drugs abused stifle health and sanity.
Likewise, algorithm used wisely is a boon,
Algorithm abused cripples life and society.
You can cheat in a few projects and exams using AI.
But there is no algorithm to help you cheat in life.”

“إن المناهج التي أثبتت بالنتائج الدامغة أنها تعدّ الأجيال من أجل الماضي، لا المستقبل، والتي يعوق الالتفاف عليها الاختبارات الرسمية التي باتت تختلف عن بعضها بالترويسة وتواريخ إجرائها فقط، هي خيانة كبرى بحق جيل كامل من الكنوز
