Are school exams so important in our life?

In my opinion, they aren't so important. I agree that we must pass all exams at school but then, they don't help us much. Exams don't prove a thing. As I see it, nowadays they are a lot of professors that they think if a child passes all exams with high marks is intelligent. But I disagree because they aren't an indication of a person's intelligence. Exams marks are only a little prove of measuring a person's ability to learn, to understand ant think in a logical way about things.

In conclusion, exams only show what a person Knows about a particular subject on a simple day, no more than that. There were a lot of intelligent people who failed their exams at school like Einstein, Walt Disney, etc.

So I believe that everyone must choose what she/he wants to do in life.
