Whether exam should be abolished?



          Exams are a type challenge which is tested frequently in many different ways and levels in our lives to know our current levels. According to the survey, what cause a students to be frightened the most is “exams”. Some students may argued that exam should be abolished because it causes a high level of stress and anxiety. However, I believe that exams play a crucial role in our school’s life and definitely trained us in many different aspects. Therefore, i disagree that exam should be abolished.

          First and the foremost, student’s academic standard will be deteriorates if all of the exams are abolished. Based on my experience, i as a student itself wouldn’t study at all if there are actually no exams around the corner.  As most of the students have the same ideas in their brain, a teacher will have a harder time teaching the class because  students prioritise other stuff rather than the learning time in class. According to the observation of teachers in the new education system in Malaysia which are abolishing PMR and introducing of the new system PBS, students tend to ignore their studies because there aren’t any standard government exams which are able to categories all of the students grades as one. Concurrently, students are not able to choose their streams, arts or science when they are pursuing from form 3 to form 4.
         
Besides that, exams shouldn’t be abolished because grades allow a teacher to categories a class into several groups, which are weak, average and   strong. At the same time, a professional teacher can actually find out a student weakness and strength in certain subjects. By doing so, a teacher can probably figure out the best solution and a correct teaching method to teach a student. Hence, abolishing exams may not be a good solution.

          Lastly, I feel that exam shouldn’t be abolished in the school level because we can’t avoid having any exams throughout our whole lives. These exams in the school level will allow us to gained more experience to actually face the “True Exam” of our lives. These experience will eventually decreases the severity of the stress given by our boss to us in our future. 

          In conclusion, abolishing exams will actually brought up a lot of disadvantages. Therefore, I strongly disagree that exams should be abolished. Even though I personally hate exams, but think about the future, imagining you’re having a severe diseases and you’re meeting up a unlicensed doctor , are you willing to be checked or even having surgery from that doctor?
