We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person’s knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to devise anything ore efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the claim that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be just a good means of testing memory, or the skill of working rapidly under extreme pressure.
Terrell
As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn’t matter that you weren’t feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that don’t count: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.
Roger
Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedom. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under force.
Gardner
At least, examinations give us a way to check how well we are getting along with our study. Students get to know their weak points and what they should try to improve in the future study. Teachers get useful feedback from their students and can reflect on their own teaching. Without examination, both teachers and students may get lost.
Forster
Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge’s decision you have the right of appeal, but not after an examiner’s. There must surely be much simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person’s true abilities.
Statements
A. Examinations cannot test a person’s true knowledge and ability.
B. Examinations are constantly being improved.
C. The results of examinations are the subjective assessment of the examiners.
D. Personal factors can affect your performance in examinations.
E. Examinations restrict learning and teaching.
