School examinations are today’s most popular way of assessing students’ knowledge. However, the final results carry misery for numerous students and happiness for few. As a result, many think that their abolishment is extremely essential despite the number of supporters that present system of examining has.
There is a number of good reasons to sit an exam than other form of judgment. The first, it is far and away one of the most convenient way of assessing students. There is nothing like as easy and nowhere near as fast as checking exam papers. Moreover, being the same for everybody it gives students an equal chance of proving their true knowledge.
To a certain limited extend, there is some truth in this. However, the entire process of preparing for a school examination is both extremely stressful and time-consuming.It requires substantial preparation which usually starts a month prior to the exam date and puts students under big pressure. It also reflects negatively to their eating and sleeping habits. Studying all day and all night long leads to losing appetite and hence ….weight, increased blood pressure, headaches and large numbers of stress- related problems. As a result, a catastrophic performance on the exam is almost guaranteed.
Exam preparation is also pernicious to student’s social calendar. Lack of social life may have a negative effect more on to the exam than simply on his communicating abilities. Not to forget the countless hours spent above the books which otherwise would be used for playing sports, socialising and other outdoor activities.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that school and college examinations are both backbreaking and meaninglessIt is true that they are emphasizing mainly on students’ ability to memorise and we do need more accurate form of judging students’ true knowledge. But for now they are maybe the best option we have.
