I'm always really glad when this time of year comes because holiday vacation, but I'm dreading the exams that are coming before it.

School exams are thankfully a long way in my past, but I remember dreading them.
But even at work I wasn't free from them, we regularly had to do computer based training courses. One of the places I worked every year every employee or contractor had to compete 5 mandatory CBT courses, basically to check that we understood the company's policies etc. You couldn't fail the courses because you just had to keep doing them until you got all the answers correct!

I've had to do CBT's at places I've worked at before as well. Usually a lot of them when I started a job and I just remember them being really annoying and making me want to fall asleep at the computer and not really retaining a lot of information from them because I don't learn very well without doing the thing as opposed to reading a bunch of paragraphs about it.

Yes, the CBT's were boring especially since they didn't change all that much each year, the good thing about them was that you had to option of a pre-test for each module and the more you got right the less you had to do in the module, get all the questions right and you could skip that module. (answer sharing was rife
).
There was a deadline each year for completing the courses and if you were a temp or a contractor and you didn't do the CBTs by the end of the deadline you were no longer able to work for the company
. (I don't know what the rule was for employees who missed the deadline).
