Life Exam

In this difficult multiple-choice exam,
which is tailored for you alone,
You get ample choices in questions,
(But often you get just two.)
No answer can fetch full marks, and
You can try but not guess, what comes next.
At times, you can only make a blind guess,
as you can't skip one question.

All means, fair or unfair, are allowed,
however, at your own risk.
Feedback, if desired, is available,
you may get a chance for
correction, but, at a price.
You are your own examiner, for
the questions already answered.

You like it or not, but this exam
may abruptly end anytime,
without a further question,
without giving any choice.

Knowing this beforehand
might help you do well
in this exam
called Life.
