We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study. But the
way to test a student's knowledge and ability still remains as poor as it was, We have almost done
nothing to improve our examination system.
It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a
student's memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student's ability. It does no good to students
and 
teachers.
As soon as a child begins school,he enters a world of examination that will decide his future of job.
In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself. But it now does
nothing about that. So students are encouraged to member what is taught. It does not enable them to
gain more and note knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be
the best in their studies.
Besides, the examinations often force teachers to train students what to do with the coming
examination from time to time. There must be some simpler and better way to test a student' s ability
besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.
