Are exams a waste of time?

[someone_cute]

As they have said ...
Exams are very important for us to show our abilities to understand the lessons and to know the clever students from the lazies and give them their marks with out cheating from teachers .. it happened by the way by some teachers ( giving students marks or steal marks from them ) although if the student doesn't deserve that ..
but sometimes I think exams are wasting for time specially when they depend on memorizing .. and we should only have monthly exams at least which means there is no mid term exams or final ..
Teachers also have 2 be merciful because we are suffering from the stress at school

Well, people who think exams are not necessary are not any smarter or more stupid than people who think exams are necessary when they're given to take one.

It means they don't know all the materials if they don't study. Just because they think examinations are not necessary, it does not mean they'll know everything and they'll ace the tests. I believe a person only thinks exams are not necessary to be taken when s/he could proudly say that s/he has aced every single test that is given out. At that point, exams are truly not needed for them. Otherwise, exams are a good way to review your materials that you've learned. Right?

Examinations are important for me. They help me practice some skill, such as preparing, Writing, reporting, so that.
But they make me sotired and waste much time.

No exams are very important ,beacuse we check our levels and skills to know if we improve or not .

I hate exams!
An exam says nothing what you really can. Thats my oppinion.

In Austria we have notes from 1(best) - 5(worst). My last test was a 4.

You can make the same test 2 times (with different examples). You will get probably different notes.

i can only say one thing: i learn much more preparing courseworks and reading books than studing for exams. i'm not saying we shouldn't do any exams because there are some things that teachers must be sure we've learnt and the best way of doing it is testing us without the possibility of having copied or anything, but exams shouldn't be the most important thing. sometimes the whole course is tested with an only exam, in my opinion this is very unfair.

In China
What is most important to a student?
EXAMS MARKS MONEY
Though you do perfectly in your homework or other fields,it is the performance of exams that determines whether you're intelligent or not Silly... And maybe, in some sense, it determines your future status in society I find this detestful...as you know the Education System of China,which I think produces Learned Idiots

Personally, I consider that exams are a waste of talents
