Most of students don't like exams and some of them make much tension to student. However, I think exams are important tool to make students have specific goals, because without of it, young students can be confused with what to study. Also, exams can stimulate student by making them compete with each others.
First, students can have specific goals and plan short-term study schedules. It is much effective way to study well, because teachers tell the students what is important to study and what is not. students who don't have exam will probably don't know how to manage their time and decide what to be learned. However, Many experts in education say that having a specific goal is an important to be successful. For instance, many research show that students who plan time to study and set specific goals before are more successful than who didn't.
What's more, student's can get some figure of their study and it can stimulate students. Because students can confirm their achivement in an organized set of test, they can know their weak point and can concentrate on the part better. For example, I was good at Society subject, but I wat not good at Korean politics. So, I studied from my worng answer and my grades became increased.
To summarize, I strongly belive that students who take exams have more benefits than students who don't. If it was not effective way to study, why is it still exist until today? The answer is by preparing for exam, students can get more advantages. |
