Flawed tests can defeat a good student
Instances where after exams student forget most if not all they’ve learnt during the session all because they were reading only to pass the exams and nothing more .
This is becoming more and more common among those who just want to find an easy way out to study where student cram solutions to past questions just to pass the exam.
Many times questions are looking for a single correct answer rather than a different outlook or idea on a certain concept. not at all the true indicatorof your knowledge.
“Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven.” - Edward de Bono
Studies have found that in today’s society, students believe that good grades are more important than a firm understanding of the material. They have begun to study solely the information that will be tested and disregard any other information as unimportant.
The microscopic and responsive nature of examining does not reflect how we use intelligence and knowledge in the real world.
A test, by definition, is intended to measure and assess student’s knowledge on a specific subject. They are simply taken by students regurgitating facts they spent hours memorizing but not actually absorbing any of the concepts or understanding what they actually mean.
