There is no doubt that taking exams can be stressful. To begin with, tricky exams don’t show how much a student really knows. For example, if student has a multiple-choice test, he will have much fortune in passing it by selecting random variants. What is more, students who really know the subject can be very nervous passing these kinds of tests; how they feel on that day may affect their grade.
