Advantages and Disadvantages of Exams
It is a common practice for many
schools and colleges to assess their student’s knowledge through different
exams and tests. Whether this method has more benefits than drawbacks is
debatable; I believe that examination(s) provide several educational benefits.
To begin with, one of the main
advantages of examination(s) is that it is (they are) an easy tool to regularly
assess a student’s capability. Exams help a lot to bring an improvement in the
individual’s knowledge because they provide regular feedback to the students
who acknowledge their shortcomings and work on them.
On the other hand, there are certain
drawbacks of exams. Firstly, they have a poor predictive
quality because they only judge a student’s ability under set
conditions and limited time. Many a times a student who is otherwise
good may get anxious or confuse(d) under strict exam conditions and may
not perform up to the mark.
