As one of my mathematics instructors 15 years ago once told our class: “Tests are teaching tools. Part of an exam is for me (the instructor) to see what you know, but a more important objective is that it provides a way to get you (the student) to study. Even if you make a (potentially big) mistake on an exam, you’re unlikely to forget it, and this is an opportunity for learning. That’s what school is all about.”Good luck everyone!
