Statistically analysis of past exams to determine highest probability questions with variance from other years can get you 80+% of the questions. If parrots knew how to write they would all have phds.

This is a pure con game in par with fiat. The goal isn't to educate you... or if you see education as being like a service dog it's great.

Who has the knowledge? The dog or the wolf?

I know. Do you?

Examination is to test the knowledge acquired from what the students have been taught over a period of time. If examination will be a true test of knowledge,some factors need to be considered, the competency and qualifications of the teachers, tutors, lecturers...etc so as to ascertain if the students will be taught the required subjects with the required experience and Quality . There is also need to consider the environment where pupils, students learn or are been taught, will a pupil learn comfortable learning in a class sitting on the floor or on a mat on the ground in hot sun under the tree, will a student learn when taught by the lecturers in a jam packed class? So there are need to put a lot of things in order, If all and other conditions are meet including having a standard library with Books available for students to consult for further understanding of what is been taught and Laboratory , and the students are really drill by giving them constant continuous assessment tests and assignments, it will be discover that most of the  students will perform excellently, good  and above average. And  then can i  be able to  agree that examination is the true  test of  knowledge, if not, our medial doctors will not be  able to graduate and treat a patient and other, if the examination they wrote was not a true test of knowledge of what they are taught and practicals inclusive. Also other professions like;Teachers, engineering, Pilots...etc. all under go examination before graduating  as a result of satisfying the examiners based on their knowledge.

I agree to a point. Yes written exams will test your knowledge to a point. But it is not an absolute test of knowledge. There is this thing called not testing well. I've seen people way smarter than me, well everyone is smarter than me, but this person is actually beyond book smart. But this person also cracks under pressure when taking the exams and would get average marks.

The test is the most subjective that is in the curriculum

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

[Mometaskers]

Examinations just confirm that you are remembering what you are learning by rote memorization. Sooner or later much of that would be forgotten, either by students going on vacation or graduates starting to work on a different field. I don't remember anything from my calculus and statistics class for example.

The holding of a test is to find out where the limits of ability of a person, especially for students / students who have followed the process of teaching and learning in school / campus. ability here means is like an example to where the ability of a student can write or read well is also true. can also to find out where the ability of a student in menekuni a field or majors that he took as an accounting student, means by taking the test will be known ability in preparing a company's financial statements, audit reportsfinance and others related to accounting majors.and to know how big the ability, then the way is to take the test that has been given by the teachers / lecturers.
2. To assess the success of learning
holding a test is to assess / measure the extent to which an individual or student is successful in learning. By taking the test we will be able to assess whether our learning system has been true / beneficial or not at all. if our learning system is good in everyday both at home and school / campus then when we hear the word test we will not be surprised and even we are ready anytime to take the test given by the teachers / lecturers. but instead if our learning system is not good in everyday life, surely we will like to complain when hearing the word test, especially if the test is done suddenly (surely it feels headed already there are thousands of stars, hehe ... meaning dull). so by taking this exam we can evaluate our learning system if the result is not good.
3. To motivate yourself
The execution of a test is as self motivation for each individual whether it is student to improve his achievement. all individuals will want to pass the test and even want to have good grades, but to get it all is not as easy as we just fantasize or dream. But that does not mean also the process is also difficult to achieve it. if we want good results then we also have to do it in a good way too, do not do it in a half-hearted way let alone in a way that cheats ya readers. with the exam we will know what the value of our learning ability so far, and when we get good value do not be satisfied. Instead we should be grateful and improve our learning system and our insights about the lesson. do not make a good value it makes us become lazy and even lazy to learn for the future. Conversely for those who have taken the exam and found that the value is not good, do not be despair then. Precisely by knowing our low test score, then
we should further improve our daily learning system either at home or at school / campus ..

It is not entirely true examination directly correlate with true test of knowledge. Examination can favor the fool .

[arnobs007]

The greatest persons of the world who are most successful and rich, they say that examination can't judge you. I'll also go with their opinion.

[stronghands4lyfe]

Exams are pure garbage and dont truly test knowledge. What they test is your ability to jam information into your brain and retention may or may not happen after the fact. Garbage way of understanding IQ levels.

[merchantofzeny]

Standardized tests only prove to school authorities that you remembered enough from your classes. That's what they are concerned coz that's what the higher ups require of them for funding.

Sure, being able to memorize stuff is good but there are students who might have poor memory but are intelligent enough.

I think it is. Because even there are many contreversies, still examination exists and being implemented in all countries as the main basis for evaluating one's learning or knowledge. It is the most reliable and easiest way to assess one's knowledge.

[johndow12]

Examination is only a score, like from 0 to 10 which shows how good you are in some certain sphere of knowledges

[hildacitra]

examination is an important part of academic studies. the existence of examination helps teachers to assess his mental or general ability. Examinations compel students to read as mush as they can, and as they do. so, they absorb knowledge unconsciously.

[inoymuninoy]

Result in examination is just what you've learned in the past time. But knowledge is how did you apply what you've been learned in the past time.
The examination is just reviewing what you've been learned in the study and knowledge is the application of what you learned in a whole time.

So the examination is not the way to test knowledge, but application is the way to see what knowledge that you have

I think this is funny, think of it, a teacher will discuss the coverage of the examination, it is like the teacher is saying Memorize those terms under that topic. How is that a test of knowledge if there are students who just memorize the topics and then forget all about it in the next semesters? I don't know how to test the knowledge of somebody but I know one thing, they use it to be a skill and to be used in their jobs.

I dont think that examination is true test of knowledge. I know stupid student will just asking the answer from the clever one and get good result and mean the result is not true.

[covfefe_]

Yes, Examination is the true test of knowledge.
There are many types of examination.
People are examined everywhere even in society and it's not difficult to judge the knowledge they have.

[moanamakeway]

A Lot of controversies have trailed the assertion as to whether examination is the true test of knowledge. What is your take

Actually it only tests the superficial knowledge. We have 3 dimensions of knowledge
Cognitive
Psychomotor
Affective
Examinations only evaluates cognitive kind of knowledge. If there should be an examination for total assessment, it should encompass the different areas of knowledge.
