Examination - the true test

If I'm to carry out a survey by asking 20 people randomly that, "Is examination a true test?", about 16-19 of them will tell me that examination is not a true test because some students do know the answers to each exam questions but the tension of examination won't let them answer the questions to satisfaction. I agree with their point but I disagree with their answer. I agree with their point because its true that such things do happen. But I disagree with their answer because whenever I ask them a particular question, they don't have answer to it.

The particular question is, "what is the true test if examination is not?". At least, people still manage to pass even with the tension. But imagine a promotion without examination. Is it worth it? I will take promotion without examination as reaping without sowing. I think instead of complaining that examination is not a true test, lets learn to fight tension and exam phobia. Its possible! We can!
