Sister: 'How can you compare? They serve different purposes and happen at different stages.'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Sister: 'Really? Huh! Do you know how tough it is to give exams for nearly a month? And if you don’t get over 95%, you won’t get into a good college.'

Me: 'Now, if Google had a common exam to recruit, which would be tougher: JEE or the Google exam?'

Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'
