No matter how much we as students hate examination, it is the only true method of judging how much we have learnt, studied and how much we have grown. There are a lot of subjects few subjects are a blessing to some and curse for others, depending on personal interests. Some may love mathematics, some sciences and some social studies, but no matter what we can’t really give upon the idea of taking exams. The reason exams have to be taken is to check the understanding, the knowledge and conceptual clarity of that particular subject. The reason we are promoted on the basis of the exams is only after the teachers have checked our papers, think that we have attained the maturity of learning things much deeper and much more difficult!
Let’s turn to a smarter and a better way of self-evaluation. Switching to this method of Online Tests will only boost the confidence of every student! Usual process of examinations are – we take exams and await results for 15 – 20, by then it is pretty late to look into the mistakes from the old topics to make corrections and you just HAVE to move on with bad grades and newer topics. I am sure each of us can relate to this and have been through it, happens with almost all of us. Shifting to a faster analysis and result will help you know your own position of understanding and save time. It will not only help us to understand whether we need to restudy the topics and subjects that we have not been up to the mark, also you can have multiple tests over the same topic unless you are satisfied about your deep studies in that subject! Online testing platform brings you the opportunity of making your concepts crystal clear by this new method of CCE i.e. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation. CCE is one of the revolutionary methods from the chalk and talk approach, adopted by most of the schools. The complete idea of CCE is to let students take tests on few topics in regular intervals and within fixed span of time for self-evaluation. This helps every single student to adopt and understand the subject, have time to study the topics thoroughly and remember it for a longer duration. CCE works throughout the year and not just at the end of each academic year. This not only reduces pressure on the child but also helps him bloom in other aspects of curriculum like sports, public speaking, humanism and public ethics. This format of taking exams help the academically weak students, as they have the space to not only study in bits and parts but also to flourish in fields they may be interested in.

Continuous
and Comprehensive Evaluation has been divided in two parts, namely formative
and summative. Formative is mostly the class work, home works, oral tests and
assignments whereas summative is conducted twice a year, a 3 hour long
examination. The portion for each summative will be distinct and not repeated
in any manner. This has been the usual CCE practice and has been adopted by
most of the educational institutions. CCE’s
main objective is to reduce the pressure on students, so as to allow the
majority of students who are unable to effectively participate in the
educational system and leave it dejected and with low self-confidence, instead
of celebrating the success and glory of a minuscule few who were able to
take advantage of the previous system.
Why not
say good bye to pen and paper? In higher grades when each of us have already
learnt to read and write, it’s time to furnish our knowledge in a much better
and presentable manner. Online testing platform will help you appear your exams
weekly, monthly or as frequently as you need to. Tests will be taken by the
students online and evaluated within no time for quick actions pertaining to
the results. The tests shall already be online, with respective user ID and
password one will be able to take such tests and this helps reducing the
crucial work and time of setting papers for the teachers. This lets the
teachers concentrate more on the student’s character, his behavior and his
development in other fields. It frees the teachers from the burden of not just
setting up test papers that frequently but also frees them from the headache of
correcting the papers and evaluating the ability of each child. Assistance from
the teachers of that particular subject can be attributed in case of topic
problems or understanding issues or a better clarification regarding the
subjects, but frees them from the burden of explaining where the students have
gone wrong while writing their tests. Computerizing this system of taking exams
eradicates all the chances of nepotism (Favors from any influential person
towards relatives, friends). This has often been seen around, teachers being
related to the children or their respective parents leads to favoritism and
also grace markings most of the times. Online platform of testing eliminates
this possibility and only grades the student depending on his ability of
writing such exams. Scope of cheating on such tests is reduced to zero as paper
format, sequences of questions and sometimes the questions will be different
for each student. Adoption of this format of examinations encourages the
students to study more and revise more because the scope of cheating, the scope
of help from external source is nil.
Other
social factors that can be considered while taking up CCE and OT (Onlinetesting) is no nepotism, better teaching from the teachers because if they
don’t explain concepts to the students properly the students will fail to
appear exams diligently as they have vague knowledge about the concept. This
will make the teachers more cautious and improve their teaching skills.
Students need to study without having options of cheating and copying from the
others in the examination hall.
Reducing
the pressure on the students and leading them towards a better future as per
their interests and as per their knowledge helps the student to decide his own
career plans and keeps his vision clear about what he aims in his life. Online
testing and CCE together is glorious opportunity of making the education system
better. Let’s just work harder in the smarter way!
