I honestly want to speak to them on the world that awaits them as they undertake this important event of their lives. First, is to tell them examinations is not everything but it is something. It is something as it will give a guide on further academic and career pursuits per individual student. It is not everything as it is not a perfect measure on who succeeds or not in life.
