Whether an exam result is worth
more or less than the printed certificate
at the end depends on whether the candidate
taking the exam believes that passing exams
is a process of tricking their way
past appearing to be ignorant
or whether they know that knowledge
is best when it is matured through slow ingestion.
The better for the self to know itself
as it is lived and shares experience.
When Plato quoted Socrates on the unexamined life
surely neither of them ever took an exam
in their lives and commend their followers not to.
