Too much empasis placed on testing these days. The need to prepare for tests and examination is a restriction on teachers and also exerts unnecessary pressure on young learners. To what extent to you agree or disagree?

It is often argued that testing is the most viable methods of screening irrespective of the effort wasted for their preparation as well as the stress it brings to the

test

takers.

However

, I would disagree with the statement that tests are the right way to

evalaute

evaluate or estimate the nature, quality, ability, extent, or significance of

a candidate as not only does these tests fail to evaluate the knowledge but

also

could be sometimes unfair.

Besides

, it adds immense amount of stress on both the teachers and learners. For any student who has undergone a

test

is well aware of how much stress it causes; whether it be the preparation phase or the time of

itself.

In other words

, even though a candidate might be fully prepared for the

test

, the

test

itself could be so overwhelming for the student that they might do worse than their

the quality of being capable -- physically or intellectually or legally

capabilities

.

Besides

, these tests

also

bring down the confidence of the youth and leads to depression as well. We have even learnt of cases of suicide committed by young children under the pressure. So it can be said that these tests are not enough to evaluate how much knowledge does a person has or how skilled they are.

the evaluating end, there have been cases where the teachers might be biased and would intentionally flunk a certain child.

Additionally

, the evaluation can be entirely subjective and the output does not always provide correct results.

For example

However

, GRE could not be considered as a viable

for determining whether the student is fit for research or not. These tests could be considered as
