No, I do not. I do not have exams for the moment. I like exams because it means, it is the end of a cycle, but I always get nervous in exams time and If I have to add end projects, it is stressful.

Well, exams are tools to verify how deep the knowledge was understood. It is important to have some way to pursuit. On the other hand, it's frequent that exams are no able to show us our level in real. I think that we need to find out new experiences to submit different evaluations to different people.

honestly, no because it always keeps me stress and I don't like to see myself in a stressful situation because it is not good for my health as an exam is an evulation process to understand the knowledge of people but it should be taken friendly. examiners should keep nice behave with students than such rival. the competition has to be in a better manner.

I had sat many exams for academic and job. Openly saying, I hate the exams. But in our country, exam is a tool of measurement for all. Sadly you like or dislike, you have to sit the exam or interview for job.

The movie "Mulan". My expectations are disappointed. I thought that the film would be better than a cartoon or at least similar, but it turned out to be worse( I liked the cast, the special effects, the beautiful battle scenes, the scenery. But they removed the love line, the lack of humor, jokes. Some events are confusing and go too fast. Unfortunately, I missed a lot in the film. I expected more...

I had a lot of exams when I studied at university even 5 or more in one class by semester, just imagine how I became crazy with 5 or 6 classes by course?. Even when you get ready for a exam it's dificult being evaluated, sometimes you thougt you learn and know a lot of the teme, but when the califications are given.... Oh oh! you just die with the result.
