test
 students and workers in the educational system,
however
, written
exams
 are the main way to examine people but in a few recent years, professors suggest written
exams
 should be a more practical assessment. At
first
, some majors can not examine with written tests and we need varied qualifications too,
for example

 problem-solving, oral presentation and work-based assessments.
secondly
, one of the obvious disadvantages of written tests is that they do not suit everyone. In Italy, they use oral

 makes a big problem.
Conversely
, students used only written
exams
 to analysis their abilities will have problem with practical assessments.
On the other hand
, we live in a fast-paced world, so written tests have some benefits, in some situations, we do not have enough time and opportunities
also
 functioning in the real world involves making quick decisions,
therefore
, it makes sense to analyse in the same way and written
exams
 help us to provide
this
. In conclusion, our decisions depend on the type of majors in universities or companies policy even peoples culture, to have solidly written
exams
 or have a practical assessment.
