Do you agree that exams are harmful?

Exams are the most important things in our lives until we graduate. It is the way by which our knowledge is
tested. Many parents expect their children to pass, so they usually push kids to study, hoping that by doing
it kids will get good grades. Exams help to see students’ areas of strength and weakness.

However, examinations cause a large amount of stress for many students. It is because students are being
pressured by their parents and teachers to pass the exams. Students are forced to study for long periods of
time and sometimes even pull all night long. I can say almost every student studies only just to pass a test.
They do not care about how well they understand a topic, just if they know the right answer to put on their
test papers. The worst thing is, exams do not always measure a student’s knowledge. A student might have
studied extensively and find out that the one thing they forgot is worth the most points on the test.

In conclusion, I think exams can affect everyone so bad, that people might have many mental health
troubles in the future.
