Sometimes this is the purpose of the interviewer, they asking lots of (technical)things that the fresh grads do not know. If they know what is it its a plus, otherwise they can see how you respone to those though question, and clearly know how confidence you are.

As long as they asked you come for an interview you stand a change to score the job. Actually everybody need to learn new things for a fresh job, therefore it is very important to know your level of confidence and your willingness to keep on learning to complete your task.

EXACTLY! This is the whole point for studying! We human beings are curious kind of species and we will be very interested to learn about everything around us, and hence thats how we build up our knowledge and technology.

While most of the students, all they know is just drill the book, drill the lecture notes, mechenically memorize the exam tips the night before exam, now come on, this is not the way to aquire new knowledge.

Actually the lecturers in the university are in a quite difficult position, if they want their students to use their brain and do their own research on the topic, or trying to tweak the exam question a little bit to show some quality, they will need to write lots of reports about why so many students failed.

Sometimes, even they gave all the exam tips to the students, "STUDY THIS" "STUDY PAGE 101" "CHAPTER 3.1 - 3.5 is VERY important" "Put triple stars on the 3rd line in the notes", there are still people failed on the exactly same question they did in the tutorial.

University should be the place that teach people how to learn, not the place that teach people how to score in exam. Even nowadays still got parents ask where got tuition class for the university students
