Some people think that exams are a good way of assessing a student’s level. Other people believe that they put unnecessary pressure on young learners and tell us very little about their actual ability. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Exams have always been used as a

and level of learning.

However

, I contend that it is not an appropriate

way

Use synonyms

to determine one’s performance and it should be substituted by a continuous assessment approach. The reasons for my contention are as follows. Nowadays, cheating on exams is a commonplace.

Therefore

Linking Words

, it is not uncommon for students who do not do well in the class to score high on the exams.

Thus

, when something like

occurs, there is no

for authorities to confirm whether or not the answers on the exams are really from the student and not the results of an unfair play. Teachers might forestall cheating from taking place, be it by strict invigilating or by the threat to fail the students who do not abide by the rules, there’s still no

to ascertain that every student will comply with the rules.

Hence

the ineffectiveness of utilising exams as a

way

of measuring the

ability

of each student is quite clean.

Furthermore

, students have the tendency to memorise for exams without putting any effort in trying to thoroughly understand the materials taught. They will strive to obtain the highest score possible by

means. Memorising is surely a quick

to obtain a good score in a short time,

however

, it is not an effective

Consequently

, exams are not appropriate when used to measure the

of the students who memorise. In conclusion, I believe that the best

way

is to continuously assess their performance in the classroom. By doing that, fair judgment of each student’s
