Exams help teachers see what kids know, but some say it’s time to stop the clock

Students in the US are regularly tested on their knowledge of class materials, from midterms to finals. Traditionally, educators have put time limits on tests ________ they believe it’s fair to give most students the same amount of time, and they also think students who really know the material should be able to answer all the questions during that time. Studies have shown, however, that the ________ to take a test quickly doesn’t reflect (反映) a student’s intelligence or knowledge of the material. Timed tests simply favour (有利于) students who can think under pressure. What do you think? Should we get rid of timed tests?

Yes—having a time limit on tests can be unfair

Time limits on tests give an advantage to students who can think quickly and stay calm. That has ________ to do with how much they know or how much they’ve studied. Many students, including people with learning difficulties, need more time to focus on their thoughts. They can get stressed and anxious (焦虑的) and even have trouble sleeping the night before a test, which will affect their performance. Not everyone can express his ideas or knowledge while the clock is ticking. Studies show that when students have time to focus on the questions, they give more thoughtful answers and ________ remember the material better.

No—it’s important to have time limits on tests

Giving students the same test with the same time limit is a fair way to test and compare their knowledge and abilities. While some students may need extra time due to specific needs, not everyone does. ________ there is a time limit for students to finish a test, they won’t learn how to manage their time or decide how much time to spend on each question. Time limits encourage students to trust their knowledge, make decisions and move forward, which helps build ________.

Learning to work efficiently and quickly is also important in the real world, including in the workplace.
