I was once told that driving lessons do not teach you to drive. They teach you to pass the driving test so you get your licence. After that you can drive on the roads on your own - then you learn to drive properly.
I received this lecture during my first driving lesson. Enlightened and properly motivated, I attended the subsequent lessons with the single purpose of preparing for the test and I passed it at the first attempt, proudly joining the statistics that proved the success of the driving school.
How I learned to drive after securing my licence was not the school's concern.
Obviously you will pass the test if you are a good driver. There are ways of training, however, that can help you pass without first becoming one.
The same is true for any kind of test. There are mechanical drills, for example, that can help you excel in IQ tests without really sharpening your wits.
Public examinations are supposed to be held for the purpose of measuring how much and how well students have learned.
But as in any other important test, there are people who specialise in devising shortcuts that can help students score high marks in exams without having to learn properly. This is why students go to 'tutorial schools'.
