Examinations are the written or oral form of testing students. They are a way of evaluating a students’ capabilities within a short period of time, usually just three hours, which somehow seems quite foolish. The idea of testing how much knowledge students have gained over the academic year in just three hours is quite difficult to understand.

Usually written examinations are given more priority and determine whether the students are capable enough to be upgraded to the next level. Oral tests, however are a way of testing students again as they don’t get any chance to cheat, which they could during the written examinations. However, examinations are a major part of students life and every student has to go through this difficult stage.
