In ‘little prince’, famous novel, little prince think that adult
fairly like the number such as concerning score of exam and price of their
house. This reflects that excessive interest about the number must be
criticized on account of disrupting creativeness which don’t consider
respective feature. But, I strongly believe that exam is essential means of encouraging
learn students. This is because exam provides students positive incentive for them
and enables to review what they study.
To
begin with, there are big rewards when they get better grade. This reward
include not only material things such as scholarship and lucrative benefit and
but also personal a sense of achievement. So these incentives help student to
set visible goal, what is called high score in exam. So, these goals don’t allow
student to study passively anymore. For example, I wasn’t interested in English
study a few years ago. One significant reason was that I couldn’t feel
improving my English ability as these aren’t able to be measured of ease. But
after knowing TOEFL exam, TOEFL was impetus for my sedentary life and made me
learn on my own. TOEFL provided a potent incentive that score over 100. In
addition, TOEFL provided my weak point which help to plan for me. After all, I
could enhance my English talent in short period of time. If I had not been for
TOEFL exam, I would have neglected my English study.
Furthermore,
exam can be used for review their learning things. In order to take exam,
student must review what they learn to raise grade. So, thank to the exam, students
have a chance that sort out their contents of studying such as complex theory
and immerse memorizing things. And people can understand further contents or
take high level class compared to not reviewing students. For instance, when I
was college freshman, I felt fall behind in class about macro economics. This
is mainly due to the fact that I didn’t review what I was learned. After a
month, I daydream during the class and sometimes skipped the class. But, as exam
period was imminent. I had no choice but to study my class in order to get a
good grade because I was given scholarship from university. After all, I got a ‘A+’
in my class. Not only that, I could take high level class which needs to
understand macro economics.
In
conclusion, the advantage of exam far outweighs the disadvantage. Exam keeps
student from passive studying habits and encourage to reviewing their learning.
Although exam is criticized for several reasons, we have to think why society
is full of exam for entrance university, promotion and getting license. |
