disadvantages?

Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples
from your own knowledge or experience.

The subject of examinations where school system based the educational benefits
students earned in other parts of the world is a crucial concern for the society at the
moment.

Firstly, examinations and tests, given to students, as the basis to assess the
educational benefits they achieved was not considered being accurate. To illustrate,
students were motivated to study only during tests. How can we say that this is the
exact way of assessing them? In fact cramming, when it comes to studying before
the test, will lead to a temporary attainment of the lessons they have learned. On
the other hand, if only students diligently study continuously, even examination
would not be conducted will insure them a success when it comes to a proper
education they needed in their lives.

Turning to the second point, it is been for ages that examinations and test were the
basis used to view the progress of students. This process was utilized to discover if
students will proceed to their next level of education or not. It is an essential way
of school system all over the world. Undeniably, if examinations will be eradicated
in school. Progress in learning will be defeated.

To try and form a conclusion, tests and examinations conceivably were the main
core of education. Without it education would not flourish and will be irrelevant to
our society. Furthermore, progress of students would not be assessed and most
students will lose their interest in their studies, since motivational element was lost.
