Many people say that examinations should be abolished because they are not the
best measure of students’ capabilities. These people believe that students can
study on their own and do better without the nagging worry and pressure
exerted by examinations.
Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations should not be
abolished.It is insufficient that teachers assign homework and correct it. Because this
is not done under supervision, they can not be sure that it is reallythe work of
students them selves. Moreover, homwork is not a test of studet’s ability; homework
is more a method of nerely keeping him occupied.
Nowadays , in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce some evidence of their
capabilities. Prospective employers like to see copies of examinations result; this is
the only way a student’s qualifications can be judge. This attitude greatly encourages
the use of examinations, if not making them a necessity.
