I agree with this statement. The problem is, many times we take the exam over and over, not ever getting the lesson to be learned. It's like the old saying "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". Sometimes the best lessons learned are from the mistakes that we make, if we bother to learn from them.

I like the quote, and I think it's mostly true - but not completely.
You can always get lessons by watching OTHERS take their exams and getting their lessons. Analyze their exam for mistakes, and avoid making those mistakes when you take your own exam. You will still probably make mistakes, but you might also get better results.
Experience is a powerful teacher, but so is observation.
The fact that observation is neglected, is one major reason why History so often repeats itself, and every new generation ends up taking similar exams, making similar mistakes, and getting similar results.

Yes, this is how life is. But one still learns from this method.
