1. Life is a test: But for a student, tests are life. From weekly, surprise ones, monthly, half yearly to annual, it's never ending.
2. The H factor: Holidays equal homework and there's no getting away from that.
3. Know-it-alls: One teacher cannot teach all the subjects but the students are supposed to know all of them. How fair is that?
4. Brain freeze: You sail through the mock exams, the pre boards and any other test but when you appear for the actual board exam, your brain decides to take a day off.
5. No time for showtime: All you get is a 30-minute recess to show off your new fashion, Tab or BlackBerry... and eat lunch as well.
6. Break time: Teachers get a break after two consecutive lectures but students have no such luck.
7. Adults can escape a boring lecture when they receive a so-called important phone call but us students? Never!
8. Psychoanalysis: You need to be a budding Freud as far as your teachers are concerned to be able to anticipate what they will ask in the exams.
9. Where's the justice?: Teachers get days to prepare a question paper and can refer to the textbooks and students get only three hours to answer those questions and no textbooks!
10. Murphy's law: Sleep in the class and the smart teacher will definitely throw a question at you... if not more.
