National Exam

National exam is a final test that hold by the government for elementary school and high school. This test is held to measure students' intelligence. The scores from the national exam also determine students' graduation. But, in fact, it just makes the students scare and stress. They scare about the score and can not pass the test. Over the years, the implementation of the national exam is getting worse.

I think, national exam is not too important for us. It is because the students’ ability scored by the proccess not the result. The graduation is determined by how the students’ study in the school. The scores of the test in class, homework, and the character of each students. It could happen, when someone studies in the class, she/he is a dilligent and clever person, but when national exam, she/he become stress and cause the final scores bad. It shouldn’t happen if national exam is not a reference the students has passed the study or not. Some students try to find an answer key because they are too scare to face the national exam. If they want to continue the school, then the government can held the test for new students enrollment  which is different from the national exam.

In this year, the implementation of the national exams is getting worse. This is due to delay in the question paper in some region, so the implementation of the national exams is late. In addition, the question paper is not good enough. It harms the students who will do the national exam. There is no coordination between the dealer and the destination area. The question paper should be distributed to all of the island in Indonesia a few days before the national exam, not centered on the Java island, so there is no delay.

In conclusion, the implementation of the national exams progressively worse. National exam makes the students become fearful and find a way to cheat so the students have a bad character too.
