Educational Testing

Educational Testing is mainly used to evaluate students after they finished the course of study. The aim is to determine whether the students understand the curricula and get the essential knowledge. Generally the exam is held by the end of the class, term or year.

Many students feel that their biggest exam is the entrance exam, the central exam that many universities use to admit the students. There are a large number of students trying to get into the university each year. It will be really crazy if each student applies to each university. Therefore, the entrance exam has been set in order to get rid of this problem. The idea is that every student takes the same test, so the university can use this test to admit the students.

However, there are many problems with the entrance exam. Due to the limited number of students admitted by the universities, the entrance exam is very highly competitive. These can cause stress and depression not only to the students, but also to their parents. Many students in Bangkok spend a lot of time taking extra tutoring courses and have less attention to their schools. This problem has been going on for many years. Recently, the Onet and Anet have been introduced. The GPAX has also been included in the admission criteria. Again, there are many problems with the Onet and Anet, still the old problem has not yet been solved.

In my point of view, it’s nothing to do with the exam, but we should focus on how to improve the quality of the schools and increase the number of universities.
