Opinion essay: Exams importance

I agree with the idea that too much importance is given to taking exams at school.

In one side, I think that we work a lot of hours at school and the exams are only a small part of the work that we do, but the final marks only show our results in the exams and this isn’t fair.
On the other side, I also believe that, when we do the exams, we tend to be nervous and we can’t do the exercises as much well as we could do them at home without pressure.
In addition, we haven’t got enough time to complete the exams and each person works at his rhythm. Then, if we can’t finish the exam we can’t show what have we learnt.

In conclusion, I think that exams aren’t useful to evaluate our knowledge and we give too much importance to taking exams.
