are easily predictable due to their nature. Teachers cannot create a different type of question with the same curriculum and

to practice mock tests and get higher scores.

For example

get high scores but when pupils are asked verbal questions, they cannot answer them.

proves that regarding their structures, pen and paper

exams

might not be enough to measure children's success. Another essential point to consider is that young people have various learning skills, which may provide them success in different categories.
