Should national exams be compulsory?

I think that national exams should not have such a high weight in the final
average for access to higher education.

We spent 3 years in secondary school building an average, working day by

day, striving to obtain positive results, preparing ourselves to achieve a
good final average, to be able to follow what we want, to then in 120
minutes of exam, we can throw it all away, all the work we have done in 3
years. Fortunately, it doesn't happen to everyone, but it does happen to
many. I think that only un exam can´t decide our future. I don’t believe that
in that exam, in those two hours, it’s possible to see what the students are
capable of. We are evaluated in different ways and throughout the year,
either by tests or by evaluating our performance in the classroom. National
exams say nothing about the achievements and difficulties of the learning
processes. I think that we are diminishing the role of teachers in the
classroom and promoting memorizing instead of logic, evaluating memory
and not learning.

So, I think the weight of national exams is excessive compared to

continuous assessment, it can compromise the choices of our future, they

should no longer exist.
