Exams rather than continual assessments consider to be an increasing trend. In my opinion, The advantages outweigh the
disadvantages
. There are both advantages and disadvantages
in my essay.
One
of the main disadvantages
is that if there is only one
exam in one
term, students
will be stressed because of the test
. A test
will occupy a higher percentage of the whole final mark, so students
must get higher marks
than other assignments. Also
, they will not study
regularly. If students
have only one
or two tests
in one
term, they might study
almost only one
week for the test
since they can get high marks
if they get better marks
on the test
. For example
, most of my friends in Korea only study
hardly
for Change the word
hard
one
or two weeks for the test
and they got high marks
. But they forgot everything after the test
, so they can’t memorize what they studied. Students
might remember and understand more deeply when they have continual tests
.
However
, students
can do their hobby during the semester. They can relieve stress enjoying
their hobby or hanging out with their friends because they have only Change preposition
by enjoying
one
test
. They can develop themselves to do something is
not studying. Correct pronoun usage
that is
Students
can search about
their future, or they can Change preposition
for
study
other skills such
as hair design, make up
, and exercise. Add a hyphen
make-up
Students
can have more
relaxed mind than when they have Correct article usage
a more
tests
for a week. Also
, some of the students
who want to get high scores will study
during the semester. Students
can study
and develop themselves without continual assessments.
In conclusion, the advantage is that students
can enjoy their life, hobby or study
something they like when they have only one
or two tests
in one
semester. The disadvantage is that they can forget what they learned in school when they don’t have continual tests
. However
, in my opinion, the advantages of exams outweigh the disadvantages
