Absolutely no. Examination is a necessary thing un education by which we can measure our performance. We can determine how much we have learnt. Also we can rectify our faults and motivate to study more. If we score good in examination then it brings us confidence. Similarly, if we score less in examination then we try to boost our knowledge. Examination helps us to create a healthy competitive atmosphere. But sometimes we take too much stress to sustain this competitive atmosphere. Sometimes it creates mental pressure. So we have to balance it and motivate ourselves for achieving goals.

Good Morning Friends,

Obviously, because exams are only for testing the student. But in this generation only focus about exams. If they are ready to get a good knowledge, They are study in their own way and get a knowledge for their interest. Exam is only for high marks score in examinations. It is not good for their knowledge. It cannot give any knowledge for the students. They are getting fear and stress in their studies. They are having a main problem that is exam. Definitely, exams will helpful for testing their knowledge but exams cannot make a knowledgeable student.

Thank You.

The examination has not killed the education system, rather it is a way to judge the knowledge and intelligence of any student. In school, if students are only taught the lessons and if there will be no any examination then how can a teacher judge whether the subject what he has taught is clear to all the students or not. Students are in the regular practice of study due to examination and they remain in touch with the subject. It also mentally prepare a student to overcome to the challenge and reduce the havoc of examination by which they can face any examination in future.

Hello guys.

Well, I think that examinations are a good way to check out the student's performance in school but it's not the best way to improvise your educational skills. It's just a mere way of how well a student can memorize or how hard he can work. But in today's world we just not need to work hard, instead we need to work in a smarter way and that can only be built by usage of that knowledge into practical life.

So the schools should more focus on the practical implications of education instead of making it a mere way of boredom to just memorize and top in the exams.

Exams are accountability and Accountability breeds responsibility. People should become responsible fo seek knowledge and understanding due to fear of exams. But at the same time, teachers and parents should also create an environment and culture of affirming the potential of students that they come to see in themselves, they should recognise the interest of students in particular subject and encourage them to go into deep. And lastly, be a help for them whenever needed but don't pressurise them to get numbers. Because student are in need of unconditional love and empathy.

Hi friends.

As per the question, my point of view, yes examination kill education, because most of our parents think that education is the way to success, with that they force us to get good marks in the exam, so every student has own abilities to study, they can't force us to study if we are not interested, with that some students surrender their life, and another point is that it depends on us, how we are going to face exam if we are interested in the study and we had prepared well then there will be no tension, so friends we have to make our choice that make us happy.

Hi Guys!

It is a very important topic. I am very happy to discuss it. These days examination becomes a means for judging our memory power and not for knowledge obviously, I am not talking about all exam but for many examinations. It's pattern completely changed our mindset and thinking the ability that's why we can say that it killed education. It is a consequence of our education system.

Conclusion: our education system should be changed that will change our mindset and increase our thinking capability. According to it, the exam pattern should be.

Thanks!

According to my point of view, examination kills education. Education is gaining knowledge and knowing everything in this world. But our education system is based on marks. Mark is more important than learning new things.

Usually 80%of students does not have any knowledge on the subject they just mug up their and vomit in their answer paper. Exams are just to check the memorizing ability. Many will score good marks but will be poor in practicals. From my opinion, I will say that education system should be changed and practicals should be concentrated more.

Hello friends,

The examination has not killed the education but they can saw you that what you have archiving or understood the before exam and now what you have learn more. Exams are testing you or judging you. Exam through you can judge yourself. And the exam is like your turning point if you clear the exam then you can reach your goal. Or you can not clear the exam not be upset you have more understand and clear about your concepts. And then again try the exam and definitely you clear your all exams. Exams are the best way to shows your concept.

Basically, today's education system forces the children to cram things and forget about the true knowledge. Whatever we study is based on the examination point of view and, therefore, we forget it just after the examinations. It has blocked the student's vision and they do not try to cross their boundaries; they keep themselves limited just to the school books and forget about understanding the concepts. But are these examinations fair? They don't judge our knowledge but our cramming powers. So definitely examinations are somewhat killing education.
