You can't call it a waste of time since it is way for you to finish your study. You can say it a waste of time if you didn't finish your degree.

Some test scores, for example - the TOEIC, are recognised by companies, agencies and universities across the globe - so can be really valuable. You can do exam preperation courses to improve your english and exam skills at the same time {-:

I consider it a waste of time. Every student knows his abilities and knowledge. This is what the teacher needs to check what he has taught.
