It is not a secret that human nature is designed in such a way to avoid any difficulties and obstacles. For the majority of people perceived level of life satisfaction stands in direct correlation with the amount of troubles they are faced with: the less troubles they met, the happier they feel. That is exactly why professionals fear upcoming accreditation tests and students are not happy with the idea of having to write final exam. Oftentimes those fears and attempts to avoid the problem are not justified. However, it is not my case at all. I have the entire basis to ask, moreover to demand the abolition of the final exam.First of all, according to logical reasoning, all tests exist to find out whether a certain person deserves given position, given reward or given grade in the case of educational institution, high school or college in particular. All teachers say that exams help them to determine if their students possess the necessary knowledge of material. In other words, final exams are designed to convince teachers in their own point of view, as it is far not a secret that most of the time they know students very well and can firmly state without any testing what this or that student deserves.
Thus, exam is no more than the expression of teacher’s egoism or vivid attempt to show own reason in treatment and behavior with students. How many times we hear that he/she (the teacher) knows who we are and the final exam will prove it. In such a way, a teacher tries to show that he is in charge of the situation and he knows better what to do and even able to predict what is going to be. Therefore, I can say that giving final exam will be an expression of teacher’s weakness, as it will represent a poor attempt to convince himself/herself in own rightfulness.
Secondly, evaluation of the English exam is a very subjective process. There are as many views, as many people on the planet. What if my point of view doesn’t coincide with the one of a teacher? Who is going to be right? Certainly, the grammar criteria are quite clear. Yet, if we talk about the topic and the content, the things are not so transparent. Therefore, the transparency of judgment is undermined, which means that the mark I get is not trustworthy. Consequently, there is no sense of writing an exam if its results cannot be used as a justifiable reference.
