Are Exams A Good Measure of Intelligence?

While SPM may be a pivotal moment for students, they are but just one way of measuring success and intelligence. So we ask our listeners what they were like in schools when it comes to exams, and dissect the ways in which we approach and gauge different kinds of intelligence.
