Students take many oral and written exams in the years of schooling. Pupils have to be evaluated by their teachers to see whether they make progress or not.Some people may argue that exams are not necessary so they should be abolished. However, they are essential because exams test students' skills and enable them to overcome their nerves.Many people may claim that examinations test a limited range of skills. They favour people, who have a good memory and techniques. They are theoretical and useless because students may forget the subjects, which have been learned, as time goes by. However, coursework and exams may test a greater range of skills. It may also be an efficient way to measure the knowledge.
Exams are really necessary to produce obedient drones.
In absence of exams those who want to gain knowledge and understanding take part in classes, the rest takes a leave and do not hamper learning process to those interested in results.
Exams change objectives. Without them teachers would have more freedom to teach us interesting things, to goad us into independent thinking instead of slavishly following the key. Exams focus their efforts on pulling even the biggest morons in group through the exams with passing score.
Exams change the way we learn. We do not learn to gain understanding and form the big picture, we learn just enough to pass the test.
Exams started as a necessary tool to evaluate students, but they've lost their merit when passing exams became main objective of education.
