Should Examinations Be Abolished
Exam should be abolished. write for or against
The month of February is almost synonymous to a potential cause of tension for us, middle school students, as it marks the approach of a very familiar but unwelcome guest, the Examinations.
Exams, more often than not are despicable by most of the students. They pose not only a challenge to the mental and physical stability of an average student, but cripple them to the state of dementia. But examinations, when analyzed, prove to be absolutely necessary for the assessment of the students. Exams are the main, and probably the only, source of testing the progress made by a student in the class. It is the most effective way of evaluating an individual's knowledge on a given topic. This statement holds true for the education realm, where exams play an important role in enforcing the necessary knowledge required to move onto the next level.
The main reason why people want to see an end to the Examination system, is not because they find it impractical, but because they are afraid to witness the consequences of a term gone by on a sheet of paper, called the Results. But again, that is exactly what this system is meant for, to either feel confident about our academic performance, or to make room for improvement such that we are ready to face it the next time. Without a proper assessment system, an institution would fail in its mission to impart education, as hardly anyone would make a sincere effort. In no time, we would see a complete collapse of the whole education system.
In spite of all the reasons exams r necessary, most of our scholastic exams r based on grounds which involve luck. Also, sometimes we are not aware of the exact criteria of marking, and of course no one can deny the external factors which sometimes influence the distribution of marks. Present examination system encourages cramming, unnecessary expenditure on help-books and private tuition. The pressure of performing well is so much and expectations
