Here is just the beginning of a list of skills that exam results cannot possibly hope to reflect: interpersonal skills, the ability to entertain, how articulate we are as speakers, our ability to work as part of a team, the ability to deal with challenges and invention.

Interpersonal skills refer to how well a person is able to interact with other people. For example, being able to be friendly, have meaningful conversations, and remain respectful. The ability to entertain is the ability to create fun social situations and activities. How articulate a person is as a speaker refers to how clearly they can express their ideas verbally. The ability to work as part of a team means being able to collaborate with other people to complete a task or project. Being able to deal with challenges is the capacity to handle obstacles and difficult situations. Lastly, invention is the ability to come up with new ideas, methods and solutions.
