ISSUES AND CONCERNS IN RELATION WITH EXAM ORIENTED SYSTEM
Memorisation over learning
Examinations often leads to rote memorisation of information rather than true understanding of knowledge.

In examinations, pupils are limited to memorising the subjects learned, however, when putting it into practice they are not able to do so.
Students cannot express themselves when it comes to study, as their aims are only focused on the targeted results in the exam.

Causes extreme stress for students
affects student's enthusiasm
creates anxiety and inefficiency, causing tests to become an extremely painful
experience.
Stop teachers from serving their true purposes
The learning procedures will be aimed to only help students gain high marks in the examination. This results in teachers giving lessons according to what is best for the students in term of their future result
An extra burden for teachers to handle as the paperwork of any post-examination, and this distracts them from their main task.
Teachers are deprived of passion and commitment as the desperation to ensure that students will pass through the exam takes a toll on them.

high grade but with low ability
Examinations measure relatively superficial knowledge or learning which totally defeats the purpose of assessing students skills.
