Examination

An examination is a formal test that is taken to test the students knowledge or ability in a particular subject, or to obtain a qualification. The importance of examinations cannot be neglected as they have such a huge role to play at the entry and the exit level of a student’s college life. Some people are of the opinion that it is practical to skip the whole procedure altogether, but nonetheless; it is a bad idea if implemented.  According to the theory of education, exams are highly beneficial for the students as it helps them to revise and go through the concepts that were taught to them throughout the whole term or semester and to fill in the gaps that were there due to not understanding any concept during the learning process. After the whole term, going through such a procedure helps the students to get a complete picture of what was the real meaning of the bits and pieces taught to them, resulting in them gaining the information much easily and properly.
