wat u ppl think abt exams?...in my point of view, one can test others knowledge of certain subjects...but it really cant bring out ones capability...during exams, one might also go through sad situations...for example death of a person...and coming to the results, marks might be gud at one time and may go bad d other time... so a person cant judge the other completely thro exams...wat u ppl feel?....

One cannot test a person's capability just because of exams. That's why I'm personally not in favor of entrance exams. It's all about training and experience :D

I think exams cannot test the capability of a student bcoz the people who are intellingent also cannot perform well insome exams and it happens so exams cannot decide the thing tat he is intellingent or not..

Exams don't always test someone's overall capability. Just the amount of knowledge someone has at a certain time and in a certain context. Or someone's ability to cheat... Or someone's amount of "gifts" to the teacher...

You could be right but not absolutely, it depend on the type of exam. Is't oral or written? Although someone who is emotional, during written exam will not be able to perform fine... I think knowledge should be the right tool to be used.
