Examinations - has it killed education

Examinations for me are something which helps us to judge ourselves, our performance. To check if we are giving our efforts in right direction. So to me, examinations are very important.

But for the point has it killed education, has two sides. As in many schools and colleges and even in many homes students are being forced to score. So in such case, it may occur that student may lose his/her focus on understanding things and knowing things practically to just scoring marks.

But when a student is given freedom to learn in what so ever way they wish to study, they are able to better explore things and examinations become an add-on to their preparation like a guide.

Well, according to my view, examinations are the basic need for judging yourself that how knowledge that gained to you. Also, the examination will improve our skill to reading and hardworking. Without examination, their is nothing parameter on the basis of which we send to this student to next stage. So I think its a basic need.

From my perspective, I think that examinations must be continued with education system. It checks our ability to apply concepts and knowledge to the problem being asked. It checks our ability to perform in a difficult situation as well.

I think examinations are good or bad, it is decided by the student's perspective. If a student treats examinations like a platform to test his knowledge then it is good for them, but if he treats it like a burden, then he or she may get stressed about studying for examinations.

Good evening friends,

In my point of view, examinations is good for testing our knowledge on topics what we learnt in colleges or schools or any other places. But, because of some external forces students feel like stress and pressure in examinations.

In India, some educational institutions and parents are making force to get good marks to their students and children. It is good but it should be a certain limit. Because parents are telling to their children like this " you should get good marks otherwise you will not get success in your life. " with this words students studied hard and they by hart the concepts whether they understand or not.

According to me because of the above reason, most of the students are not getting jobs because of they are unable to do practical things and they are losing their thinking abilities.

Thank you.

Hi I am Gurpreetsoni.

According to me examination is the best way to test our knowledge without examination we can't judge ourselves. If a person learn something from his school, collage or from any other place it is only examination to know.

That he learn it properly or not. Examination also motivate a person to do batter for example if a person pass a exam then he will try to do more batter. But according to my thinking if any person or student committed suicide do to his failure in examination then he can never succeed in his life because he is not able to face his failure so how can you expect them that he will be successful in his life he cannot be succeed. So it is wrong thinking that examination kill education.

Hello friends,

Our present education system is merely based on rote memory. The students who topped In examination do not know how to use the knowledge practically in life there is only a race between the students to get good marks in paper from early stage of life. Examination is a way to check students knowledge not just rote sentences, unfortunately this is what is happening in examinations.

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.

Examinations are needed. Without examination it becomes difficult to prove that we have owned a particular degree or any other educational qualification. Presently there is no other alternative method for it. Without examinations what is the evidence for studying in an educational institution for years. And how could a university give you certificate for a certain degree? So those who are against examination must offer alternative solution to this problem.

The examination is a process that is used to understand the level of knowledge that a student has. Exams do not only mean descriptive papers which are limited to a particular topic or book, as they are in schools. Consider the various competitive exams, they are all objective type with questions that contain a mix of direct answers or implementation of logic using the facts learned. These kind of exams are beneficial as they help in judging the thinking or analytical ability of a student.

Current education system is currently based on the descriptive format papers. But this is slowly changing. Education is not dead, it is now going to be reborn according to the changing times.
