Or at least, don't study so much you fry your brain. Good thoughts, though. Multiple choice exams are really only good for testing basic knowledge of facts & figures. But they suck at testing comprehension & competency. But then I'm of the opinion that our educational system sucks & is rigged to produce half-illiterate worker bees for the State. But that probably comes from being a libertarian & from reading too much John Taylor Gatto. Also like your analogy of exams & evil. And the moral of the story is, Never study for exams.
