　　In most colleges and universities the examinationis used as a chief means of deciding whether astudent succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quiteefficiently, its side effects are also enormous.

　　To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are oftenjudged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to takeexaminations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage badstudy habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, astudent is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.

　　In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to thestudents' academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change anddevise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
