The Best Way

1. There are many kinds of test in our life, especially students we take a lot of test which used to check our study performance. Otherwise, when we want to find job we should take the test from the company, and if we want to get drive license we must take the test, to name but a few.
2. In this case, test becomes an important measure to check our ability. Moreover, test is not only written test, it includes interview, practical application, and so on. But every part of test will influence the final result, so we cannot neglect each one.
3. Speaking students, we take many tests which involved the small quiz and exam, both of them lead us fatigue and hate study. For example, we should take more than 3 small quizzes each week, and over 3 exams each month. we cannot escape these test, unless we absent. In my opinion, test can give us pressure which can drive us review what we learned in the class. Also test is the best way to find out our mistake in the process of study that can help us correct our mistake in good time.
4. What is more, the result of the test cans point out the condition of our study performance which is good or need us to improve on. We hope to get the result of the test as fast as we can that express we care of our study, we want to know whether we got the progress after study one semester, and we want to get a high score to prove ourselves.
5. Sometimes we got a lower score after previous work hard, the result hit us confident, but do not dismay, find out the reason, and continue study hard, next time we can get the score what make us satisfied.
6. As a student we cannot ignore our parents who are really care us, they care us growth, they also care us study, they want to we can have a prosperity future. They are happy we can surpass them in the future. Personally, my parents care my study than me, it makes me guilt, they cannot know whether I study hard in the process of study, but the result of test can told them my study performance. Actually, our parents do not want us get high score from test, but they merely hope us can try our best to learn more knowledge.
7. Some students think that the test cannot prove their ability, it's just a test. But they forget if they have ability, they should show their ability with the high score in test which they think easy for them.
8. Furthermore, sometimes we think one test cannot express our ability, but after experience many tests we can understand what the real ability we have. while, If we got a high score without work hard that cannot prove we are good, it's just can express we are lucky than other students.
9. By the way, test gives us pressure especially some important test such as the placement test, the final test at the end of the each semester, and otherwise. we should make the pressure drive us get progress, do not defeat by the pressure.
10. In conclusion, all of these things above can express test is the best way to check ourselves in the present. Although it includes many disadvantages, but we cannot forget the benefit of the test that help us find our mistakes, improve our ability, and get the progress gradually.

  1. Yes, i agree with your opinion. I think take the test is a really good way to let people and yourself your ability to do something. If we get a good score after test, that will encourage us to work hard. And if we get a bad score, that can let us find our mistakes and we can learn more from the false. More and more test also will let you be more confidence to do something.
    That all reasons why i think take the test is a good way.

  2. I totally agree with your opinion. Test is good way to check one's ability. Sometimes, it is a nuisance but it is necessity for judging ability. Also it help to know one's misunderstood and mistake. People can know more exactly when they made mistake through a test. people can improve their ability through the test and they also can reduce that they repeat the same mistake. Also my opinion, the more we take test, the better we improve our ability.

  3. I agree with you. It is the best way to know the level we are really in it. But now a days student used to cheat in all the test so I think the result of the test does not mean that student is a good or successful.Sometimes it comes with luck.But all these things did not say the test is not important. It is important to the student who want to learn.

  4. I agree with your point. To let the students to have a test, it is the most common way to know about a student's skill. All different kinds of the test can easy to know can the students go to the other level or not. I have study for more than 12 years, every year will use the test to check the students. I perfer to use the test.

  5. I agree with you. Texts are good ways to check a student's ability and the knowledge control. As Ang said, if a student gets a high socre, he/she will more interest in the course. If a student gets a low socre, he/she can find the mistakes in text. Texts also are the wally way to check students' ability by teachers. So I agree to use text.

  6. yes, if one got a high level on somthing, basicly, they should do better on the test which was the lowest pass-line. i do believe that if someone got some special abilities, they must show that on everything related. you do worse, you are failure. so i look down upon that people who offen find him excuse. these guys can not give any sense of security to others. so, evrey tests is a mirror which can reflect out the truth what you are.

  7. I have to say I disagree to your opinion. The test is usually good for people to know how their studying is, but I don’t think it is suitable for everyone and it cannot show all the problems you have sometimes. There are also some people who study hard, but they cannot always get a good score in a test. It may be because they have to study more hard. It may be also because what they have learnt is not proper for a test but is good for their usage in their daily life. It is always the reason why nowadays more and more schools or companies do not only focus on the score of their employees but also abilities. Sometimes, an exam will impact a person very much. Some people may miss it, but it does not mean they do not have ability.

  8. I really disagree with your opinion!!! Test just is a way to check out which one is better than another one. But test is not the best way! We have not enough times to check out. So we just can use test. Some kind of people. they do not fit test. They cannot do their best in test. They are usually too neverous to get good points in test. But it doesn't means this kinds of people have no ability to do this work. So If we have enough time to check out a good student or a good worker in interview, we should combine test with practice. This is the best way for us!

  9. I agree with a few things ,and I disagree with many things. Not all tests can measure our ability or skills. There are some of the test did not focuse in our skills, and cannot determined our ability. Also, in some test we cannot know our mistakes because we cannot see the test. Moreover, when the person got a high score in a test that didn't mean that he is lucky, such in scince test. If a person got a high score that mean he/she was studying hard for the test.

  10. I disagree. Many tests do not appear people's ability. People sometime are tired or have personal problems which make them do weak in a test, so that does not mean they are weak then other. Also, many people are excellent in their career. However, they cannot get a job or study a major because they do not get a require score. Yet people sometime get high score, but not by their effort, nevertheless by cheating or know a test before they take it. So these are just two reasons make a test not right measure for people ability.

  11. I agree almost you said, because we have already have many tests until now, from child to an adult, people may have a lot of tests. It is a good way to check people's ability, and it is also fair to everybody. But sometimes it may cause some problems. Until now not only during students, but also in modern society. Tests are everywhere. we have to face many tests, and pass them to proof ourselves.

  12. Yes, I agree with your opinion. I think take test is really the best way to check our study, to chack how is your study. Also, take tests on time will push you work hard, students always need presure on their study. Through the tests, you can know what kind of knowedge you have already known well, and which part you should improve. Although many students heat taking tests, but it will really help us a lot.

  13. 1. There are many kinds of testS in our life, especially AS students, we take a lot of testS which ARE used to check our study performance. Otherwise, when we want to find A job, we should take the test from the company, and if we want to get A DRIVER'S license, we must take the test, to name but a few.
    2. In this case, A test becomes an important measure to check our ability. Moreover, A test INCLUDES not only A written test, BUT ALSO AN interview, practical application, and so on. But every part of A test will influence the final result, so we cannot neglect ANY one OF THESE.
    3. Speaking OF students, we take many tests which INVOLVE * small quizZES and examS, both of WHICH lead us TO fatigue and hate study.

Also A test is the best way to find out our mistakeS in the process of study that can help us correct our mistake in A good time.

We hope to get the result of the test as fast as we can, WHICH SHOWS we care ABOUT our study, AND we want to know whether we got the progress after studyING one semester, and we want to get a high score to prove ourselves (?).
    5. Sometimes we got a lower score after * workING hard. THEN the result MAKES us LOSE confidenCE, but do not BE dismayED, find out the reason, and continue TO study hard, AND next time we can get the score WHICH makeS us satisfied.

    7. Some students think that the test cannot prove their ability BECAUSE it's just a test. But they forget if they have AN ability, they should show their ability with the high score in A test which they think easy for them.
    8. Furthermore, sometimes we think one test cannot SHOW our ability, but after TAKING many tests, we can understand what KIND OF * real ability we have. IN THE MEANTIME, If we GET a high score without workING hard, IT cannot prove we are good. IT can ONLY SHOW we are lucky than other students.
    9. IN ADDITION, A test gives us pressure, especially some important testS, such as the placement test, the final test at the end of the each semester, and SOME OTHERS. We should make the pressure drive us TO MAKE progress, AND do not BE defeatED by the pressure.
    10. In conclusion, all of these things above can SHOW THAT A test is the best way to check ourselves in the present. Although it includes many disadvantages, * we cannot forget the benefit of the test that helpS us find our mistakes, improve our ability, and MAKE * progress gradually.

  14. As a teacher, I must admit that a test is useful. But personally, I must say that it is not almighty. A test can cut only one facet of person's performance. There are many components that we can not measure by tests, and also, even for the ones that we can measure by tests, it is too time-consuming that we can not conduct them. Using an example of English learning, in order to measure one's speaking skill, we need to have a test when each person speaks. Then, we need a bunch of raters who evaluate these speaking. Then, before that, we must train them to be a good rater so that they all have the same rubric for the evaluation. This takes much more time than marking multiple-choice questions. That is why MSUELT does not have a speaking component (but TOEFL does because ETS has a lot of money and staffers!).

    It is true that more companies as well as schools are taking into account qualitative measurement for evaluation, which is difficult, yet important. I think we need a balance between the quantitative and the qualitative.

    Lastly, I hope my tests are useful for all of you. Tests are not just for teachers to evaluate students but also for students to reflect on their performance, as you wrote. Review the tests, and learn from them.
