Yeah, as I am a university student, I have to take many exams. Every 6 months, I take a semester final exam. On the other hand, I take two midterm exams.

I did take additional classes outside of school to prepare for the UTBK exam.

Fortunately, my exam period is already behind me. I have never liked exams because they make me very stressed. Unfortunately, I have never learned how to manage stress properly. That is why I still struggle with it today, for example when I go to a job interview or occasionally have to take an exam in my adult life, whether to obtain a certificate or for other professional reasons.

Thankfully, I don’t have any exams anymore since I graduated from university. I don’t like exams. I believe the education system limits our abilities because people have different personalities and skills. It’s not fair to force everyone into one system without considering individual differences.

Unfortunately, I'm not a student anymore. However I enjoy learning new things and self-development, and try to reflect on myself. I also have children who have a lot of exams, so I can say that studying is still very much a part of my life.

Yes, I had a lot of exams when I lived in Ukraine, but I have had only a few exams in Canada.
I don’t like exams, but I understand that they are necessary if I want to take the next step in any field or position.
I have always had good results in my exams, both in Ukraine and in Canada, because I prepared very carefully.
I hope I will get a good result in this exam as well.
