I want to love my exams

Its been two weeks that I have not gone out for playing nor have I watched any T.V. show sine two weeks. Know the reason behind it, EXAMS.Exams........the very word is sufficient in causing tension and fear in students. Exams are indeed necessary to judge the mental ability of the child and setting certain standards for promoting the child.Examinations are not only the tests of the receiver but also of the giver i.e. is the teacher. Exams, the very one that we face today are mere tests of memory and not understanding. The examinations mainly focus on extracting facts and data from the child. They are completely book-centred and merely involve any mental exercise. There are frequent incidences when there is complete nervous-breakdown of the child in the examination hall. And mind it, this is not the case with the toddlers but also many youngsters. Tears rolling down the cheeks, inability to answer despite of knowing the answer, suffering from fever and nausea are few of the symptoms that indicate as to how much fear does EXAMINATION cause to children. More than two semesters in an academic session, multiple sittings in a day and memory-based questions are a perfect combination to harass the child and make him psychologically uneasy. Regular assessments of the students, weekly tests will surely supplement in judging the academic and intellectual level of the child. Proper counseling and guidance, constant support of parents will enable the child to take the examinations as a normal happening and not as a terror. Innovation in the examination pattern and full-fleged support of family and friends will make each child say-’ I love my examinations’.

EXAMS ARE JUST A WAY TO JUDGE A STUDENT,WHAT HE/SHE HAD STUDIED IN THAT YEAR.MANY STUDENT FEEL IT A BURDEN AND OFTEN FEEL SCARED.THE REASON IS SIMPLE:DUE TO COMPLETE NERVOUS-BREQAKDOWN,TENSION,A LOT OF STRESS& PARENTAL PRESSURE.ONE MORE REASON COULD BE THAT THE EXAMS ARE COMPLETELY BOOK-CENTERED WITHOUT CARING THE STUDENTS.MOREOVER THE MARKS SYSTEM IN SCHOOLS ARE A TOPIC OF CONCERN. A STUDENT'S GETS LESS MARKS EVEN HIS ANSWERS ARE PERFECT.THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES THEY BROKE AND CRY.SO, my suggestion is that exams should be made easier ,profitable for students.HORLICKS PIYO AUR EXAMS KA BHOOT BHAGAYO.

EXAMS! the word brings out a chill down the spine of students. Students as well as their parents have a phobia regarding exams.Today exams have become a mere means to mug up and vomit it out in their exam papers. Continuous assessment are a way forward as it will be able to judge a student's overall intellect.
