Which is more important, test preparation process or its result?

Topic ; Which is more important, test preparation process or its result?

For all tests, no one cares about the course students have taken to take a test. It's because in the end, no one knows what kind of efforts they made, just seeing the results. For example, if I study 10 hours of the entire week and get 80 points out of 100, everyone focuses on 80 points and they don’t care whether it’s as result proportional to my 10 hours of study. When my friends ask me about the test, they ask me only the expected score or actual score, but not how much I studied.
Therefore, people should focus on process rather than results.

I have a question of practicality - how is your process/effort to be measured? How do you prove that you studied for ten hours last week? Are we just supposed to take your word for it? Are you including hours studied in class where the teacher can confirm that you were there and you were working or are you talking only about self-guided study?
Tests have always been the same thing - an examination of what you know, not how you learned it, or how easy or difficult you found it to learn.

In life, and especially in working life, people are generally not interested in the amount of time and effort you put in to get something done, but the end result/product/outcome. Unless there is a study carried out to assess the efficiency of your work, in which case the input and and output are quantified and compared. Inputs matter only if you charge for professional services on a time basis.
