In response to snicker's reply:
"if you passed with two questions answered wrongly, would you
care to sit down for 5 minutes and reflect on how you got the two
questions wrong?
or would you get out of the room & spend 5mins smsing your
girlfriends to tell them that you passed?
"
At least that person has a choice of learning from his mistake
of ignoring them. If he ignore and commit them when on the road,
then he got no one to blame for the consequences that he'll have to
face.
"the pass came about due to practical thinking. do you possess
it?
no need calculations, memorise trigonometric identities at
all..."
So people who do not possess sufficient practical thinking
ability cannot improve on them through learning from mistakes isit?
if that is so then I have no word to say except that god bless
those without sufficient practical thinking ability to be able to
acquire the required ability by failing and failing since that's
where they are going to learn.
What I can interpret from snicker's post is that there is a
logical thinking to the theoretical test. No memorising is needed.
There can be so many qns and scenarios that even when you might
learn the answer from your theoretical mistake, you might not even
apply it practically when in times of critical moment on the road.
That is critical and logical thinking.
But...not wrong to memorise the answers just to pass the theory
test. It is a tried and tested method in sg education system.
