Children have more and more tests and exams to do at school, sometimes starting from the age of five or six, right up until the age of 18. What are the advantages and disadvantages of making children do exams?

These days, it is considered that making

children

do

exams

plays a key role in their life.

However

, they have a plethora of tests and

exams

to do at school, starting from five or six years old up to 18 years old every now and

then

. In

this

essay, I will discuss both merits and demerits of making

children

do

exams

and try to draw some conclusions. First and foremost, I will start by looking at the advantages. One of the major plus points of forcing

children

to take

exams

is the fact that

children

are encouraged to study.

In other words

, if the students know that there is an exam for them, they will work hard to cram for the exam, and

as a result

, they will become more knowledgeable than they want to be.

It is clear that

another benefit is only selecting educated pupils which means that only well-educated students can pass the

exams

, the rest will fail.

On the other hand

,

although

exams

negative aspect. The major drawback is failing the students of other fields of study with

exams

of other fields.

For example

, if your field of study is mathematics and economics, you will surely fail the exam for other unnecessary subjects.

To sum up

, the advantages of forcing

children

to take

exams

and tests are more than the disadvantages, and in my opinion, pupils should be tested only in the subjects of their fields.
