Do you like exams?

I don't think "like" is the right term but I like challenge and exams are "challenging". Especially when I was able to prepare for the exams, even if studying is stressful and tiring, it's still a great challenge. I like the feeling of after taking up exams. Somehow it's kind of fulfilling because you feel confident enough that you answered the exams correctly (even if there were still some mistakes). It's a good challenge for me, mentally since I'm able to exercise my brain often. It also helps me improve my study abilities.

I don't like exams. It makes me so tension and stressed. I need to sacrify all my good times for studying, memorizing. I still remember during one of my travel, I need to bring along my notes so that I could steal my time to study in airport while waiting for my flight. But I do admit that, this is the only way now to test our understanding and knowledge. Thus before somebody could invent greater idea to replace examination, I still need to go through this painful cycle for each exams.

It's neccesary and good for pupiles.Or,they won't study well forwardly,I think.

Uhh... who likes exams? (lol no offense there, sorry if you were offended) I hate exams, and I really do find it stupid and retarded that you are being judged and technically dictated what school you can go to, based on your exam scores. So there are actually some smart people out there, the only con of those certain people is that they are not just good with tests!!! So if one thinks that someone smart is eligible to get accepted to harvard or MIT or stanford, and just christmas trees one of the entry exams or SAT/ACT tests, then I guess that smart someone is not eligible anymore to get accepted to one of those highest level schools anymore? See how stupid that is? Bottom line is that even if you are very very smart, and the teachers can 100% guarantee that you will be successful getting accepted to one of those highest level colleges, that is great!! but what if you eventually get rejected, just because you bombed one of those entry exams even if you gave your fullest effort?

to tell you a trutn , i dont like exam indeed . verytime befor taking exam ,i should take nearly all the time to prepare for it . and this process is always gnawing if the course is which i dislike . whats more , the things i remenberde before ate exam would run away fom my mind few days later. although the exam is a good method to check what you have learned , i still dont like it at all.

You don't have to be insanely good at exams. Be good as a person=a well rounded individual is better than any test.

I think that exams are a necessary evil. I don't like doing them nor correcting them. But they do test what students have learned after all. So we cannot do without them.

My only problem with the exams is that they are timed. I am very smart, but I can fail a timed test in a heart beat whereas if there had not been a time limit on it I would have finished within time anyway. It is just a mind game.

When I am in my student day from my time I also felt so scared when I want to take my first examination when I have to enter my High School and when I am on the way to my College day I also have an entrance examination which is we called it NCEE= National College Entrance Examination and after graduating College I still have to take a Masteral Degree in which I did not take it i decide to apply abroad and have a good chance outside the Country and in here i still continue other Civil Service Examination for a better way of finding a work and I do feel tired of this way and kind of examination......

Hey there! Yeah, exams. I hate does. it puts students into pressure. The only exam that I like would be Physical examination. lol. Happy posting!!

one thing i really hate about going to school is having to take long exams. i don't really get contented with low grades so i try my best to have a good grade by studying late at night. because of exams, i don't get enough sleep and i really hate not being able to sleep well.

hey i like exames, i dont way but i like it. i think that is sow easy or """ i m crasy"" but in my opinion , i see if you stady very good and you rivais your lecons and you do some exercices ..........................you do like it ????

Well,indubitability,exams are essential for us ,but i don't like exams in our country.On the conditions of examination-oriented education systems in China,i don't think we can have highly quality exams.

To be honest with you, I really love exams! It's the best part of the whole studying thingie! Why? Because we don't have to take regular seemingly infinite classes xD what a bless! I don't go through much pressure, actually the pressure I go through is close to none! It's 10:15p.m and I'm online while I have an exam tomorrow that I haven't studied for yet :P woot.. I always pass my exams with high grades even though I don't study much :o weird. I feel sorry for the others though, since they seem to struggle a lot, especially those that study a lot harder than I ever do and yet end up crying over a bad score o.o

Dear hongqistreet Though I am not a student but still I like student life as this is the best life as only two things you have to perform one is studying and other is playing , no tension, no burden I mean to say family burden, there is no tension for earning money etc. When I was student I was also in the opinion that adult life is the best life as all the adults are advising the student to go and read and prepare for examination. In my childhood I was irritating but in the laster stage now I realised what I have missed. Now I am realising what precious time and life we have missed. I was not afraid of examination. If you properly study whole year there is no fear on exam. pkc3000

In my opinion,the most important thing is we must learn something from teacher or from internet.if you know how to use Laplace transform,for example,you don't need to worry about the exams.it's just a tool to test us.

Exams are part of life, school is not forever but life is. Exams are part of your ability to retain things. Plus, it measures how much you know and they should be seen as a competition as well as a tool for retention. Not everybody does well on exams but its the best way to measure what you've read, heard or studied.

Hello,hongqistreet~~ i am very glad meeting you here~ I am also a Chinese,i live in GuangZhou. OK, i should discuss this the topic you post~~ not only China but also many other countries in Asia like Japan and South Korea facing this problem-examination.from primary school to college even after we find a job,examination is ours closest friend~ for the pass decade ,there are many discussion about it~but as a consequence ,we can't see many change on it~~essentially,is the problem of our education system~ honestly, i don't hate exams (haha a reason of which is i study very well),in the past nearly 14 yeas, i have get used to it ~~ But if you ask me whether i want current education system change~ definitely i want~~~ but don't count on that

Exam can make the students realize their advantages and disadvatages in the study. So the students could make up shortage and not make the same mistakes again. Meanwhile the teachers should strenghen the pratical ability in study and the imagination, not just be limited in the theory.

i agree with u . with nice grade we can feel better in our class ,colldge and we can get the better knowldege to be learned from our world stunds are not just to give the exams and through the things u learned or the things u gave the knowldge so in short we should study and give the exams
