However
, Linking Words
this
methodology may not be the perfect way of determining the knowledge and skills of the students. In my opinion, I completely agree with Linking Words

notion.

Firstly
, a single sheet of paper doesn't determine the future of an individual. Linking Words
In addition
to that, the grades given on the basis of examination is not enough to predict the future of that particular person. Linking Words
For example
, many of the successful people and entrepreneurs around the world don't hold a degree from a renowned university, all they have is self-belief which drove them to attain success. Linking Words
Thus
