Test and examinations are a central feature of school systems in many countries. Do you think the educational benefits of testing outweigh any disadvantages?

Taking exams has always been a confident way for schools and teachers to examine

students

' knowledge. While in my opinion, it is a two-sided sword, I believe that the advantages of

this

are far more than the disadvantages. On the one hand, testing may result in mental issues and encourage a competitive spirit

instead

of team-working.

Students

may experience a high level of anxiety before and during their tests. If

this

issue becomes chronic, they will have to confront serious health problems in feature, especially in their job.

For example

, a marketer should be confident enough to present a good performance about introducing a new product, but he/she cannot succeed while dealing with a high level of stress and diffidence.

Moreover

, an examination is likely to encourage competition among

students

. They will try to get the highest score and even may mislead their peers.

This

probably causes selfishness and greed which

consequently

brings a more individualistic society.

On the other hand

, in my view, the testing system has two main benefits.

Firstly

, pupils have to study hard to pass their exams. Idleness would be hindered because if they do not try to learn and practice their courses, they will not be successful and have to take that class again. They

also

are likely to be aware of their talents and weaknesses in

this

way.

Secondly

, top universities in the world mostly choose their

students

based on their grades.

Subsequently

, the most talented

students

could attend a glamorous college and expand their knowledge with the help of scholarly professors and ambitious peers.

As a result

, they would lead to the scientific world which is full of opportunities to innovate. In conclusion,

although

testing would have some possible drawbacks, it seems to me that the potential profits would be more.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

Summary
Restatement of thesis
Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

In conclusion
To conclude
To summarize
Finally
In a nutshell
