00:00Yes or no because you know it's part of life I mean nothing comes easy I guess and I it's really
00:07good like um I feel like it develops outside of like what the test is actually testing it develops
00:12like actual key fundamental skills so like you know obviously having to advise sit down and
00:17like really dedicate time and energy and effort to do something so like apart from what they're
00:22testing I do believe like it creates a good environment for you to then apply what you've
00:29learned to other things. There's no doubt about that I know when I went through school and university
00:36I came out with 12 GCSEs and four A levels that itself was painful but we didn't go through as
00:43many exams as the children do today. But yeah I feel like sometimes tests aren't the end of everything
00:49like they don't really actually like gauge how smart a person is because some people could really like
00:54be into a subject and really understand and engage well when it comes to tests like
00:58they just can't really perform well.
