Exams are not useful эссе

From past to present, exams are

organized during

they

are considered

as a form to assess learners’ abilities.

, is it

really

necessary to hold these exams?

As a result

, nowadays

argue that exams are not useful. I completely disagree with this

and in this essay I will support my opinion with examples.

Firstly

, thanks to exams we can determine capacity of

. There are

learners in every school or university and everyone has

level.

For example

study math together in one

not all of them are

at math and can

high mark.

Therefore

, if exam

are arranged

, teachers can know that their

are in what level in order to have appropriate teaching methods to

them increase their point.

Another reason why I disagree that exams give us the motivation to try our best. When we pass an exam we will feel excited and tend to learn

to can overcome the

next

ones.

Besides

, exams will

us better control ourselves, overcome laziness,

that we can focus on goals with a certain amount of time that cannot

be delayed

.

On another hand,

that exams are not

really

helpful. Exams cause a waste of time and money for exam papers, examiners, etc.

Moreover

, the pressure of scores can cause

to cram their knowledge and learn by rote without understanding the basics.

of them cheat in exams to

high marks.

To sum up, although

argue that it is not essential to hold the exams, I

that the presence of the exams is

necessary.

Personally

, exams should be

carefully

monitored to avoid cheating

as well

as

the quality of the

results.

Are Exams Necessary?	Нужны ли экзамены?
Before the exams many student feel nervous, lose appetite, suffer from insomnia and anxiety. So the question “Are exams necessary?” seems to be relevant. Why do all students have to pass the exams at certain stages of their life? Well, first of all, the exams are there to access and to find out actually what the students know. This helps teachers to set the standards for children of different ages and abilities. Secondly, if there are no exams, then children won’t want to learn. Exams are like accelerators of studying. Thirdly, exams hold teachers accountable for their teaching. So, the exams are made up not only for students, but for their teachers as well. The question whether exams should exist or not is being discussed and debated for many decades. Many people claim that examinations are subjective. They test only a limited range of skills. Besides, students suffer from the consequences of stress and anxiety during exam preparations. This often results into poor performance in exams, even if a child was well prepared. Opposed to this many psychologists say that children need a positive accomplishment. They need to be pushed towards higher achievements. So from this point of view, exams are even more useful for students, than for assessors. Parents should be also interested in exams, as they develop their children’s survival skills. Exams make students stronger and more confident. Not only they show a visible progress in certain field, but they also encourage students to strive for more.	Перед экзаменами многие студент нервничают, теряют аппетит, страдают от бессонницы и тревожных состояний. Поэтому возникает актуальный вопрос: “Нужны ли экзамены?” Почему все студенты должны сдавать экзамены на определенных этапах жизни? Ну, прежде всего, экзамены для того, чтобы выяснить и понять, что в действительности знают студенты. Это помогает учителям устанавливать стандарты для детей разных возрастов и с разными способностями. Во-вторых, если не будет экзаменов, то дети не будут хотеть учиться. Экзамены выступают ускорителем процесса учебы. В-третьих, экзамены налагают ответственность на преподавателей за их работу. Таким образом, экзамены не только для студентов, но и для их учителей. Вопрос о том, следует, проводить экзамены или нет, обсуждается и дискутируется на протяжении многих десятилетий. Многие люди утверждают, что экзамены субъективны. Они проверяют лишь ограниченный спектр навыков. Кроме того, во время подготовки к экзаменам студенты страдают от последствий стресса и излишней тревоги. Это зачастую приводит в низкой успеваемости на экзаменах, даже если ребенок был хорошо подготовлен. В противовес этому многие психологи говорят, что дети нуждаются в положительных достижениях. Их нужно подталкивать к более высоким результатам. С этой точки зрения, экзамены еще более полезны для студентов, чем для самих проверяющих экспертов. Родители должны быть также заинтересованы в экзаменах, так как они развивают в детях навыки выживания. Экзамены делают студентов сильнее и увереннее в себе. Они не только показывают заметный прогресс в определенной области, но и заставляют студентов стремиться к большему.

Exam is a word that most students fear off. A word that has a magic power to change a happy person into a frustrated and nervous one. However, it is a big part of the school that all students have to go through. There are advantages in exams, but there are people who think the opposite that exams have more disadvantages to the students and should be abolished.

Some people say that exams should not be abolished, because they say that exams are the only way for teachers to see the student’s level, it builds high sense of responsibilities, and it gives him pressure that will be useful for him later in his life.

The students also compete with not only themselves, but with other people. They do not want to see an increase in their knowledge. They want to beat their classmates to be on top of the class. Another reason is when the student knows that his hard work has paid off, he will feel a self satisfaction inside of him and he will be so proud of himself.

So, those people who say that exams should not be abolished think of exams as a self test to see where the students are, and how good they do.

I personally think that exams should be abolished. Because exams are stressful and they do not show real results of the student’s hard work and mental ability. They favor people who are gifted or have good memory and good exam techniques, and neglect the less able students who actually need the most help.

Even though, those who have good memories may not be very smart during the classes and may not understand most of what they are memorizing. In addition, teachers may grade student papers differently. Sometimes the same teacher will give the student a different mark to the same paper after a few months. Another important reason I think is that students should not be judged on their performance on one day. For example, if a student got sick before the exam and he could not study well and got a bad grade or failed with the fact that he is an “A” student. Therefore, I do not think it is fair for him.

Finally, there are always going to be people who are with or against taking exams. It is a controversial issue in all countries. However, I believe in regular testing through out the year. I say doing projects during the year, grades for participation after every lesson, and having weekly assessment is the best solution and the most fair approach for this debate.
