== Examinated ==

Posted on Apr 07, 2008 under General

The word derives its origin using the same logic by which (assuming the noun form came first) the word "assassinated" is derived from "assassination".

If you ask me, the silliest part of our education is our examination. Someone who scores 40% is deemed a "Master of Commerce" by the University, with his / her marksheet quite unpretentiously proclaiming that the individual did not know 60% of what he ought to have. If knowing less than half makes you a "master", knowing the rest might make most of our fuzzy little heads explode!

Board Exams and University Examinations are mostly supposed to test your "basics", the same way as the genetic sequence of a primate is 98.56% similar to the human. (I heard the number is a little above 99% for a pig but I just had one for dinner so I refrained from drawing a similarity). Students of "International Economics" for example earn 2 marks out of 80 (that's 1/40th or 2.5% of 80 marks) by answering the question: "What is the full form of the WTO?"

We Turned Over!

After all that mugging and overnight revisions converting someone who went "Yeah..." after hearing the term "Ricardian Theory" to someone who wrote 12-sides of an examination answer sheet explaining it, you still end up sitting at a desk in some service sector company routing customer calls or at best triggering web-based invoices.

So I don't really know if I got "examined" and then came out with a "QC OK" stamp somewhere on my butt, or if I got "examinated" and got a price-tag attached to me like I'm some kind of dead ham at a butcher's.

Ah, enough of crap... I've got Auditing and Taxation in a few hours...

You know how to calculate Rent Free Accomodation?

Obviously not... What's "rent free" in this world except for...

Sorry. Timed out. Study now.
