  1. Organisation

  3. Resourcefulness

  4. Learn to tough it out

  5. Handle pressure effectively

  6. It's ok to fail

  7. Think long term

  8. You learn useful information about the world

  9. Attention management

  10. No fear of being measured

Watch the video to listen to the reasoning behind these 10 points and some of the life experiences where skills gained through exams have helped me out!
