Abstract
Since its official occurrence in the 19th century, school exams have been the only known and approved way to test students ' knowledge and evaluate their performance. The word exam in general means a test. People could be tested in almost everything in their lives. In my opinion, human beings were born to be tested till their death. The results of their test will be revealed in the Judgment day and everyone will be awarded or punished according to those results. Many people think that exams are the most appropriate and fair way to evaluate students ' progress and determine their intelligence. On the other hand, others would vote for abolishing exams and replacing them with more practical and skill-oriented methods to evaluate their students ' performance. I strongly support the idea of exams abolishment and in this paper I will present my reasons.
