There are countless ways to build meaningful and successful careers without scoring top marks in these competitive tests.” LACK OF FOCUS It's not that preparing for exams is a bad thing. The problem is, many students aren’t aware of this shift because the system keeps telling them that exams are everything,” says Satia.
