Could "In order to pass the exam" be a suitable purpose ?
Because sometimes in some stages we could not know how can we use the knowledge to our life. Sometimes we just want to pass the exam in school. For example: literature, even math for some people.(Maybe some topics are useful for our life. But some don't: sin cos tan...probability...etc ). But still we have to read it and pass it. So the only purpose is " Pass the exam"

How can I cheat myself that in some day I will use the knowledge of "sin" in math?

So, if we are not sure that we could use it for somewhere or not, but we need to read it. Than how to deal with it?
