2. EXAMINATIONS

3. WHAT ARE EXAMINATIONS?
• An examination (exam) is a test.
• Exams were invented by an American businessman known as Henry
Fischel somewhere in the late 19th century.
• In education an examination is a test to show the knowledge and ability of a
student.
• A student who takes an examination is a candidate. The person who decides
how well the student has performed is the examiner.

4. • Examinations are important part of curriculum.
• Examinations force students to study hard because they know they are going to
be put to a test at the end of the day.
• Examinations help the teacher or instructor to know the performance of his
students. This is very important because it will tell the teacher how much more
effort he or she needs to put to help the students.
IMPORTANCE OF EXAMINATION

5. • Examinations help to promote healthy competitions among students. Without
examinations students would not be forced to compete academically among
themselves.
• The last but not least importance of examination is the fact that it helps the
instructor or teacher to grade his or her students with a great deal of fairness and
impartiality since the teacher marks exactly what the student writes in his or her
answer booklet and nothing more.
