Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) and The Thought Collective creative director Shio-yin Kuik recently brought up a rather fascinating perspective in regards to the recent GCE A Level General Paper exams — the questions asked feel a lot different now that we're grown up.
When we were young and naive, the exam questions feels more academic; something foreign and something that we have no "real personal stake" in, as Kuik wrote in her now viral Facebook post.
"When we ourselves sat for it at 18, these questions were probably just questions to do, issues we studied," she wrote. "All we cared about was what grade we would get for it."
