Exam of Life

Nowadays, exams are like boss fights of the game of life. There are bosses that crush you and bosses that got crushed by you. Many of us don't really remember the hardest exam we had while the rest are going to sit of their hardest yet. The Chinese pioneered exam, their Imperial Exam famous across the ancient world. Back then, the question involved writing a piece of literature and the reward for passing is a government post and a life of luxury. Fast forward a few thousand years, it's the 21st century, exams now have a few papers spreading across a several subjects and are graded quantitatively. It's just sad somehow passing a huge exam like those in college produce a deeply-in-college-debt graduate who's gonna work the rest of his life off, remain in debt, and retire poor. Sad huh? Perhaps it's because that huge exam is too common. One that's passed by hundreds of students each year. Why maybe a solution is to create an exam that only a wonder person stands a chance! I therefore propose to the education board of the world to offer a new kind of exam for students, and I shall name it the Exam of Life. Take a look at the draft questionnaires:
