There's no evidence of what the exam was that he took. It is not described in the relevant publication as the Civil & Military exam - but rather as an examination (unspecified) which he took in the C & M Station in Bangalore.
Without more information it's impossible to know how old he would have been, or the purpose of the exam.
I agree with Silvery that it may well be worth contacting the school to see what if anything their archives contain about him.

The age at mariage is likely to be more reliable, because he gave the detail himself - age at death is how old the informant thought he was... If you don't have details of his WW1 medal entitlement, you can download the medal card for £3.50 at the National Archives site: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ Medal card of Trott, Danvers HCorps: Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Regiment No: 30381 Rank: Acting Serjeant If his service record survived the bombing of WW2, it will be at Kew, but can only be consulted in person, not by mail. Some service records are now online at Ancestry http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/, but only a few so far. At the moment, I can't see a Danvers TROTT on the 1901 census or Free BMD. Rambler
The service record will have more detail than his medal card.
You could try the armed forces board see if anyone can suggest anything there.

 That's a fairly random question??
Do you mean historically, currently, give us a clue 
Best is to Google, no thing can hide on the net!
