Essay exams
Exams. Everyone whom has the opportunity for an education has to take exams. Sadly, the success
rate has reduced by 5%. That means that 5% of the juveniles in school fails to pass the exam, often
due to performance anxiety. This pressure is often put on by their peers, parents or teachers. The
young, promising generation of the population should not be put under these amounts of pressure.
Exams should be abolished.
Firstly, it is not fair that the students whom have succeeded the first years of their education, have
no advantage when it comes to passing exams. In order to graduate high school, students have to
pass one exam for every subject. Would they fail these tests, they would not be given a graduation
certificate, even though they could have been straight A students the past 5 years. Therefore it is not
fair to depend on the one moment, in which are the exams, out of 6 years to pass high school.
In addition, many students of the age to 15-18, have performance pressure or anxiety. The students
whom have to take the exams at the end of their schoolcareer are in this age group. Exams should be
abolished, because many students suffer from anxiety, stress and burn-outs. Graduating is a big
moment in the life of juveniles and by putting their work of 6 years in one moment gives them
extreme amounts of stress.
However, there will always be deadlines and other aspects in life that will cause stress. Because of
this, students have to learn at a young age that you need to be able to perform under pressure.
Exams are a perfect way of ending the high school phase in a student’s life and give them a preview
of how the ‘’adultlife’’ will be.
Despite of the preparations for further events in a student’s life, exams give the students more stress
than they can handle. When the stress will become too much, many students will end up in a burn-
out and herefore unprepared for the work life. Some can handle the stress better than others, but if
half of the work population is already in a burn-out at the beginning of their lives, how will a country
ever thrive. Without healthy, educated people, a country cannot develop itself.
On the whole, exams should be abolished, or at least spread out over more moments to perform. It is
more important to have a healthy population, than 50 % of the students whom can perform under
pressure and 50 % whom is at home with a burn-out.
