Advantages and disadvantages of exams
Advantages:
Exams help to clearly understand and measure a student’s knowledge. Many students study better when they know an exam is coming, because they try to prepare for it.
Disadvantages:
For many students, exams cause a lot of stress, anxiety, and nervousness, which can make it hard to show what they really know. Students often study just before the exam and quickly forget the material after it. Some students are not good at writing but are very good at speaking or doing practical tasks. Exams do not always consider individual differences. Also, if a student feels sick or tired on the exam day, it can affect their results.
