I had a lot of exams: I don't like exams, but I think these are inevitables: in the school, in the university, in the world of work and, generally, in the life.

I don't have exams now. When I took exams at school, I didn't like them because I wasn't a good student. But when I wrote my diploma thesis at the institute, I liked it because it was about my business and it was interesting.

As I am a university student, I have many exams. Actually I like the exams because they help me to study the lessons. When I get higher marks in exams, I am happy. But there is too many exams, I will be stressed and I have no time to study new things.

Yes, I do. I study at a private university, and they take our exams every two months.

Absolutely no. I don’t have an exact reason for this, but I think if it’s taken more than two or three times in a session, all the students lose their liking for them.

Before COVID-19, I used to have a lot of exams, but after it, there are just a lot of projects than there used to be. I like them because there are essencial to get to know how much we learn and what things we have to improve.
