There seems to be an increasing trend towards assessing students through exams rather than continual assessment. What are the advantages and disadvantages of exams as a form of assessment?
Nowadays, students are evaluated through tests on specific days of the year
instead
of observing their daily performance at schools. Even though Linking Words
this
phenomenon has several merits, it Linking Words
also
has some drawbacks that should never be underestimated.
As far as the advantages are concerned, it is obvious that Linking Words
this
has significant benefits to students. One of the most typical virtues is the strong criteria. Actually, it is not Linking Words

Therefore

On the other hand
, it seems that there are considerable disadvantages. Principally, pupils focus on the Linking Words
test
rather than on education. To put it another way, the main goal is education rather than Use synonyms

. Sad to say, many students are unaware of the fact that the Use synonyms

Furthermore
, there exist Linking Words

Finally
