Do you like to give exams?

I’d really like to meet a person who liked / likes exams..maybe this discussion will throw up one LOL I so dislike exams that nowadays when I am teaching my son, my own school days memories come to haunt me and I can never be strict with him or make him study more…his final exams are starting on Jan 4th and he’s actually going on a holiday during the Christmas breaks…with his mother’s permission and blessings LOL

I would hate to give exams also. I never di like them when I was in school as it was anyway. I do believe that people do need to learn but testing ones knowledge alot, gets to be overwhelming.

I hate exams, I have always hated them and I still hate them. Written ones a bit less but oral ones were always a terrifying experience for me. When I was in high school I studied regularly and most of the exams were written, but then I went to university and almost all of my exams were oral. It was terrible because I am a perfectionist and I really can't present myself at the exam if I don't know everything. I know so many people who study a bit and then just go to the exam without knowing half of what they should have studied. So it was never easy for me to pass an exam. I was dedicating months to the exams people would dedicate a week or two. I really hated that.

No, I don't like giving exams. I am no teacher and I don't do the scholarly very well. I think in most cases the burden in my head is such that I would not be able to successfully attempt such a happenstance.

Hi sagnik, do you mean sit exams rather than give them? If you do I was one of those rare oddbods who liked exams if I was interested in the subject matter. I always enjoyed studying too. My ten year old son is the same, he returned from school the other day and said he needed some peace as he wanted to study for his history test the next day. He was looking forward to it and enjoyed it too. That was history though which he loves, just like I did. Just like me he doesn't look forward to tests in physics.

i think that the one ho invented exams inventat them for a reason , is not so cool to take exams i love tu study and resarch the ideeas but not every time some one to be on my back and test me if i know ther stupid domain iven if i dont like it , i love tu study and read but what i like noth what someone tell's me :P

Do you mean give exams or do an exam? I used to give very small exams when I was a primary school teacher. As for doing exams, it's been a long rtime for me. At the end of year 11 and yerar 12 I had tro sdit statewide exams. I dont think I bothered too much in year 11, but by the year 12 exams I was more concerned. I remember studying a lot. My daughter did her year 11 exams a few weeks ago. For all her subjects she received between 80 and 87%. I was very pleased with those results.

Nope, I dont like taking them much less giving them. Its hard both ways. For the person who is going to take them, it is quite stressful to study all the topics that might be included. Its even more frustrating if you have studied and memorized the whole book reference given only to find out at the moment of the exam that the questions given doesnt have a possible answer in the book. On the part of the exam giver(usually the teacher or tutor), it would be a different matter on their intentions. I mean if they want their students to pass but still be fair then they'd give either an easier or a very reasonably challenging exam. But if they're power tripping they'd mislead the students into studying a particular topic but give a different topic questions on the actual exam papers. Its a good thing though that there are instances where the student can choose their professors by the time schedule that is posted. I always try and pick those professors that are nice or not strict when it comes to requirements or giving of grades.

This is something that I would dread doing. I think it would hurt me as much as it hurt my students because I don't like to think that someone would have to spend hours locked up in their room studying for the exam. When I was a student I never liked when exam season rolled around and just thinking back on it from the point of view of a teacher, I don't think that the professors really enjoy giving them either because it means that they have to take the time to grade them and such which takes away from their time.

Hi! I love to give exams, because when the kids make me go crazy, that is tje best way to make them sorry for that

always we in exam ! during our growth we always to have exams . exam is to determain the apility of us . and it is meam the chalenge so for example the students must suffer the chalenge to choose the better and in work you will be in exam ( life exam ) to take the chance to success if you fail you must be in your home . you can check your life it is full of exam and challenge . we must do what we can and we will be good .

in my younger age i used to hate and was afraid of these exams but now with passing i have realized its a method of checking ourselves during the course of time...

Now I am a college student, I also hate exams very much .Exams take up too much my play time.When exam comes ,I have to give up most of my happy time to review my studies! But giving exams is meaningless for me! It makes me really tired and annoyed. Giving exams is a burden on my head... Next week we will giving an important exam, so these days I having been studying very very hard! I really do not like to do this! Who can help me ?

I hate exams I'm lazy reviewing notes and memorizing.. Specially the written exams its okay if its physical I can participate with that But if you give me written exams good luck to you! =)

I don't think that many people really like exams. I know I sure don't, and a lot of my friends and such aren't too fond of them either. However, despite the fact that I don't like them, I understand why teachers give students exams. It serves a good purpose, in my opinion.

yes,i don't like to give exams.i hated,hated,hated exams.

Yes, I do. Giving exam is the only thing that can force me to study else I use to roam about or doing several other things. Education can only lead to a beautiful life which can be earned through studies only. How much we have learnt can be judged by exams and viva voce. But if the subjects are too tough and really not much interesting then, giving exam sometimes bother me else I like giving exams.

I am going to tell to all of the true that i never like to give exam even the school exam but in school time also in college exam i passed my every exam. But i don't know why i don't like to give exam.

I have never beeen one to like school in general this also went for school related events such as exams and standardized testing. No matter how many times I've heard the phrase; "Its only a test." I've wanted to slug the person who said it. My brain hates the mear idea of such things. Who needs to do those things anyway? What business is it of the school boards a standardized test isn't the way to prove anything, because some students aren't going to do well as others and that's never taken into account.

I don't like exams, to be honest i don't think they are the best way to anaylse what a student does and doesn't know due to them being under pressure, and some students are naturally sail through exam and others do not, in my personal opinion i think there should be a choice, i also think in many circumstances schools & Colleges etc are just interested in getting higher on the league tables and what is taught isn't a real taster of the subject, more how to pass the exam with lessons on exam technique, i think it would be a much better idea to have a student sit in an isolated area with a teacher for half hour and put across their views on the subject and answer the questions informally. nice topic
