> I've known many people that struggle with exams even if they know the material and even more people that excel with exams that learn nothing. This point is overstated. The former did not knew the material as well as they think and frankly, unless the exam was super badly done dont exist. There are some people who fail in stress situation, but not that many of them. If you have met many people like that, you was most likely in a culture where people did not learned well and then blamed inability to test. But even more importantly, the people who pass tests again and again without learning anything are not a thing. There are some badly designed tests here and there, occasionally. But in most cases, even if the test is not measuring the correct thing, you wont pass it without learning and knowing things.
