        Do you mean do I give people exams as in written tests like you do at school? or do you mean do I examine people like a doctor does?

        I do the first of these, but not the second 🙂

        I give people exams too- to help them learn, and get qualifications. But I do not examine them like a doctor would. I leave that to the experts!

        I do both
        I examine patients to find out what is wrong with them and to decide the best way to make them better and I also write and Mark exams for our students.
        I love doing both but I prefer the examining patients bit more.

        I do neither (and I’m sure that patients AND students are grateful for that).

        I do try to help students pass exams though, by running practice sessions where they can present their work, or where they can have their reports checked over for suggestions on how to make them better.
