可以把 exam 想成一台幫你腦袋裡的東西「秤重」的天平：把你會的東西放上去測一測，看看實際上到底有多少、指針最後停在哪裡。From the word’s history
exam is short for examination. Its Latin root examen meant the tongue (pointer) of a balance—the needle that shows the weight; examinare was "to weigh." An exam still weighs what you know.
exam 是 examination 的縮寫。字根 examen 在拉丁文裡指天平上的指針——那根顯示重量的針；examinare 就是「秤重」。考試至今仍是在秤你會多少。
