Examination stress getting too much

Are marks being given too much importance, one or two exams should not decide one's life. Media is also a culprit in this, they always show as if one isn't an IITian or IIMian then he/she has no future. Not scoring well in 10th or 12th doesn't mean end of life.

Just saw this unfortunate and sad report...

It's sad how mere some test scores can cause so much stress. I don't believe test scores should be given so much importance. Some people are not good test takers. People can break down under anxiety and pressure. How much you get out of your class should be important.
I had a friend who used to get C's and D's in our classes, but in the performace area, she used to top every body.
Some people have good memory and they can retain a lot of stuff for a short period of times, but some can't.
In this way I think American Education system is a bit better. Most of my classes in High School had essays, multiple choice, and extra credit work. Some people used to do good in writing part of the test; some used to do good in multiple; some in both; and if for some reason you stayed behind in your test scores, you can pull your grade up by doing extra credit work.
No one was under pressure. Also if you think that you need to be in an advance class, you have a choice. You can take AP classes, or get enrolled in Magnet study programs in your 10th to 12 grade. These programs were for people who like competitive environment and enjoy high anxiety and challenging classes. People who are not at there level have a choice of taking regular classes.

yes der 2222222 much atees in dA UK were continuosly bein tested from yr 9 when ur about 13 we have important exams every year until were like 23 it 22222222 much

😭 thats really really sad. i think people are being pressured too much with their hw and examinations. they need to stop doing this and actually help the students

i totally agree with it,its a sort of personal topic for me too,coz i feel im finished coz i dont have a good score to support.its unfortunate.

while revising & studying

Kuch to hua hai..kuch ho gaya hai

In examination hall

Sab kuch alag hai..sub kuch naya hai 😃

EXAMINATIONS are waste according to me.. There shld be no examinations at all.. It shld all be practical knowledge that shld be tested.. The teaching shld also be all practical.. The grades and marks never gives the what talent the person has..

So, i think practical knowledge like projects shld be encourage more than these written exams..

i completley agree wid u..wen they give exams it jus shows how gud a persons memory is like if they rem. everything they've learned...not whether they it or not..i mean a person cud b very smart but jus cause they hav a bad memory cud fail da exam...

exams cause soo much pressure and 4 me r pointless...
