Cool, these days the weekends aren't really associated with religion. We can file that under "semi-decent things religion has done for the world" and get on with it.

If I recall correctly, when I was at school (in the Late Paleolithic), exam season dates were never, ever set in stone. Accommodations have always been made. This is not that big an issue, folks.

Sure, it may have started religiously but it makes sense and we would eventually have probably done something similar. The days of the week it happens to be is arbitrary, as is labelling days of the week in the first place.

Not eating and passing out during important exams is idiocy, and not something we would do anyway.

Stop ruining the fun Boru Tongue

I've passed out during exams, but it wasn't from lack of food...

Exams which focus mainly on memorisation rather than application are dumb.

Even though I'm really good at such exams, they are still dumb. In the real world, you don't just rely on memory all the time. You look things up. It's knowing how to apply what you look up that is important. Just trying to memorise everything and referring only to that is going to lead to unecessary errors.

For example, 40% of my maths exams at uni were simply regurgitating things. And that is enough the pass. So someone with excellent memory can pass, without knowing anything about maths. That's stupid.
