Are exams fair?

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

YES □ The alternative to sit-down exams is to do coursework over the whole school year. This gives students the opportunity to cheat. They can copy other people's work, for example. □ Continuous assessment isn't fair. Children who have their own room to study in and access to books and computers at home have a much better chance of success than children who don't have those things. NO □ You might have hay fever or feel sick on the day of an exam, and so you do badly. That's unfair.   □ Exams are a test of memory. They don't test how much you really know.
