Many people argue that exams encourage students to learn. As far as I concerned, I cannot agree with them more. The rationale behind this is that exam can enhance students to know their drawback more accurately. Moreover, exam makes students to compete in right way.
First, Exams can make recognize one's weak point well and encourage to cover it perfectly. In other words through the process of clearifing their wrong answers, they have chance to know what they really needs and what is their strong point. Then they can study in right way to overcome their weak point. For example, Barrack Obama the U.S president said he could have excellent grade in Havard law school by knowing his weak point. He had made his mistake note which he scrapped all his mistakes or wrong answers.So he checked his note everyday. Then oneday he found himself doing not same mistakes. The underlying cause of this is identified to be the fact that Knowing oneself through exam can be beneficial, regardless of the possibility that there may be opposing but arguing viewpoints that exams can be stressful to students. Therefore, this evidently indicates how exams outperforms than not taking tests.
Moreover, tests make to compete with others and play a great role in motivation. That is, students can be exhausted by amount of studying hours. Then tests can be motivation to them. Moreover, by competing with others by tests students also can study harder even though they are tired. For illustration, according to the Ministry of Education and psychology, more than half of the general student find competing with peers is advantageous than any other types when it comes to be motivating their mind to study. This is attributed to the reason that motivating oneself by tests is preferable to study for long time with passion.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly belive that tests is real beneficial tool in many respects. The reasons are not only that tests can provide ability to knowing their weak point and make students to overcome it well but also that it can make healthy competition and be good motivation to students. Therefore tests have to be more enhanced for good education system. |
