The guy with the best grades in class will tell you that examinations are the true test of knowledge. The one with worse grades will say otherwise. So, it is left to the average guys like us to decide Grin

In the end, I think examinations are just examinations. Knowledge is not the only factor that influences their outcome. Time and chance come to play a major role. But when a student continues to do well or badly consistently in their examinations, then it's quite convincing how much they know. Irrespective of examination results, we all should pursue knowledge.

Examination is not the true test of knowledge. It is actually giving out what one is expected to know through his teachers/instructors or personal study within a certain period of time which can never be compared to the full understanding of the entire concept. Under examination condition candidates cannot cover holistically everything on a subject or topic as they are to provide answers to specific question administered with time. In fact in some examination candidates are asked not to answer all the questions. As a result in that area the knowledge of the candidate will not be revealed to the examiner.

classroom examination is not a true test of knowledge otherwise we wouldn't have educated illiterates all over our street because based on class room test they are geniuses but in reality they manipulate to get the grades. examination comes with different kinds of pressure, fear and even sickness, so naturally even the best brains out of tension and pressure do come out without any flying colour. i have witnessed a situation where a first class and a lower class students went for interview but the first class student didn't know as little as where to append his signature, because the grade on paper is not contained in the brain whereas the lower grade student who is brilliant got the job. it may sound unbelievable but this is a real eyewitness.

I don't think that passing an examinations is the measure of knowledge, for me, we were all born different means you may not be intelligent at some point/subject/profession etc but there is something that is made for you that you might excell.

I didn't finish my degree with high examination grading, but during job recruitment/interview exercise, i did much better than my classmates who did better than me in college those days. ... this shows that the result i got from the degree exams, didn't actually prove the true test of my knowledge.

Examination is not a true test of knowledge it is only a test on what you learn on your study

Yes, the examination is a knowledge test but for a specific workplace or to observe if one person has the ability (knowledge) to develop some task, so the true test of knowledge there is not, because, for example, there is emotional intelligence, and in a examination it is a question of interpretation.

I completely disagree with modern toastering, its doesnt show real knowledge of students.Additional tests are needed for different categories, including logic

“Examination is not a true test of knowledge” is a statement/mantra that one should have come across at one point or the other. Many people are too eager to mouth “examination is not a true test of knowledge” to rationalize their abysmal academic performance, lack of substantial academic effort/nonchalance, and sometimes, the not too glorious state of the Nigerian (Public) education system.

the exam should show how much the student can apply the material studied in practice, and not how much he can just remember...if the exam is built that way - then it makes sense

examination shows whether the student has acquired a certain amount of knowledge in some branches of study as well as they are able to express his thought and ideas to a manner others can understand. Further, because of examinations; teachers have to confine themselves to the syllabuses which are aimed at imparting knowledge in a systematic manner, and thus develop mental disciplin. examination are therefore important for academic study.

I dont think Exams are a true test of knowledge. I believe the score awarded to me in my UME Examinations was manipulated. I studied hard for the exams and I was scored 207/400. Anyway, I'm a graduate now. I used the 207 score to secure my admission in a liberal arts course in UI. However, I know I'm gifted naturally and I have a unique thinking ability which is helping me tremendously now.

Many great men in the world today never really cared about exams while they were schooling. I believe more in personal research and reading up on things than coming to sit in a hall to answer some questions in other to be awarded a certificate.

Examination is the true test of knowledge because this is the moment that we can challenge our mind because of the questions that the teachers has given us. Examination test our true knowledge.

Maybe an examination might test your knowledge.But it can never define your brilliance.Sometimes exam becomes our worst enemy and people judge you just by an exam.

There are too many variables in this question. We can say one thing, that not always the exam shows the true level of knowledge, but always shows the true lack of them if you remove the moment of copying.

FOr me i think examinations are just a test on how well you have memorized the syllabus or the course you are taking. NOthing beats the gool old application of the knowledge that you have learned just so you can see where you are in your learningsy

And how else can you test a person's knowledge in 20-40 minutes?

Examination up to some extent tests our knowledge but not 100%. Sometime a very smart and brilliant person is unable to score good in examination which does not mean that the person is having less knowledge, We cannot say that knowledge is 100% tested by examinations. Books are not the only source of knowledge, experience also teaches us.
