Lately universities are switching from the traditional handwritten exam to the E test , or the computer based test. This is what some people call the modernization of exams. The E test is nothing but a computer based test which is submitted online , within a fixed exam time. The questions might be multiple choice or a long answer.
This is a big change in the way of giving exams, because rather than looking at a piece of paper , students have to look a computer screen.This new way of giving exams has its pros and cons. The pros are that this is easy and efficient, and it reduces the scope of students to cheat during the exam , which might be a big con from certain students side. The cons of this method are that its not cost effective on the administration of the school , and a major con is that the change from paper - pencil to computer based tests is very big for some students and hence their grades tend to decline till they get used to the E Test.
Whether we like it or not , the E test is here to stay and we need to get used to it. Us students , having been so used to computers and laptops should familiarize ourselves with the E test , so as to avoid any sort of downgrade in our academic performance.
