Though Malaysia has an exam-oriented education system,
but I am different,
I am of better quality student
because
I don't study for the sake of exam,
nor for the sake for better grades than other,
I study for the sake of knowledge
I don't memorise without understanding it,
I understand it to pass.
80% understanding, 20% memorising
Memorising should not be seen as a low vintage method to success in that phrase above,
but it is a part of study method.
So let's not be cynical.
An allocation of 20% for memorising is precisely adequate.
Let's look exam in another way,
Though it ain't the best way for intelligence measure,
but it is the best way to measure your attitude in enthusiasm in learning,
how hardworking are you to tackle difficulties
and inevitably and undeniably, your book-intelligence.
