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

In

this

contemporary world,many educational organisations utilise

tests

and various examinations as a method to evaluate a student's potential , career path and future.Here, the main question is whether testing is effective.

Therefore

,

this

essay will

first

discuss the benefits of testing and

then

the disadvantages.

To begin

with,many schools provide

tests

at the end of each term to see how well the

students

have grasped the knowledge in classes and lectures.

As a result

, it is aptly clear that exams and

tests

motivate children to study well.

Thus

, if these kids get good results

this

means testing is really effective.

For example

-

students

who wish to be a doctor have to be really knowledgeable and qualified.

Consequently

,it is important for these

students

to score well on their biology

tests

in order to achieve their end goal in the future.

Further

,

tests

will let

students

know where they lack , which will help

students

to focus on those areas before the main examination. For an instance - every school in Sri Lanka will have a mock test before the General Ordinary Level examination.

Hence

,

this

provides many educational benefits to

students

as they will know their weak subjects and motivate them to make more time to study those subjects before the main exam.

However

, there are some drawbacks to

this

approach and the following paragraph will elaborate more on

this

. Here, it is important to understand that intelligence is not an aspect that can be examined by a mere paper, and many smart

students

fail to get good grades because they get so stressed during

. Henceforth, they forget what they studied and ultimately end up with results below their expectation.

In addition

, some

students

get demotivated after they see their results and feel like putting more effort into studying is worthless. In conclusion,testing provides many educational

to know their weak areas before the main exam.

Nevertheless

, despite the many educational benefits, I wholeheartedly believe that it is crucial for teachers to present more effective methods to assess

other than testing
