There seems to be an increasing trend towards assessing students through exams rather than through continual assessment. What are the advantages and disadvantages of exams as a form of assessment?

Recently, the system of evaluating students has grown over exams rather than continuous

assessment

. In my opinion, I believe that it is better to assess students over continual

assessment

instead

of having exams during the term. There are several benefits and drawbacks that result from

such

an approach. The disadvantage of exams as a form of

assessment

is that some learners feel st

f the atmosphere of exams even, they are excellent students on a usual day with the tutor.

For example

, I'm a student who feels extremely nervous during the exams, and

this

affects negatively on my grades.

In addition

, the way to assign grades to questions is too high that causes examiners to

I mean, some teachers assign a question scored ten, so if students have mistaken in two or three questions, they will lose around 30 scores to get a low grade.

Moreover

, some schools follow a method that students have two exams in a same da

On the other hand

, the advantage of having exams as a type of assessing students is that the student-level will show when the teacher is unfair with student grades because they are embarrassed or mi

For instance

assessment

is that they assist students to be more organized and bearing the responsibility of what they have to do daily of studying and finish the project on time

will help them to obtain high grades. In conclusion, assessing students through exams have both advantages and disadvantages for students.
