FOR
1.
S: Exams create a lot of pressure
E: Exams put students under a lot of pressure，leading to a
significant impact on their mental and physical health。Exams
will make students spend too much time studying that cannot
be balanced with sports activities that improve health and
reduce stress。Moreover，having too much pressure makes
students lose interest in learning。
Ex：According to the New York Times，in recent years，the
number of students who is a dropout has increased from
56％to 62％because of the pressure and 66％of students have
health problems when staying up late for studying
Rebuttal
Keyword:
Rebut:You think that exams have a bad effect on
students'learning。That is also true。But the child's memory
needs to be trained to be more flexible and able to withstand
pressure and the framework better，the graded exercises will
help children absorb it more easily
AGAINST
2.
S: Tests help reinforce knowledge
E:The school creates exams for the purpose of consolidating the
knowledge so that students can remember the past
lessons，and it is just the knowledge that students have
learned。To give students the opportunity to further develop
themselves through the tests，as well as to help students
recognize the importance of the test to see if their knowledge is
sufficient or needs fiurther improvement。
Ex：According to a survey by study.vn，about 80％of students
agree with the tests because they think that the tests will help
them consolidate(con só lơ đây) all the knowledge they have
learned and help them remember and longer knowledge
Rebuttal
Keyword:
Rebut：You assert that exams will help students improve what
they lack。I can see your point，under some conditions it will
help students remember the lesson longer，but not all students
are suitable for this method。But for those students，it also has
the opposite effect such as causing them to experience
pressure，anxiety
3.
S: The time factor in the test affects the student's results
E: Because the test time is very short，students are limited，so
they will be confused and can hardly arrange their answers
properly。Therefore，the answers will be unnatural，and the
students are more prone to make more mistakes。In
addition，the short time gives students little or no time to check
for errors in their work。
Ex：Like grandparents，they have a saying that the fate is under
God's will

Keyword:
Rebut:If desired，students can gather more information about
the topic through research，but not necessarily on the test。And
testing is to assess a student's ability to performa particular
subject
4.
S: Help assess students'capacity (khơ pá sơ ti)
E: Help students realize where they are in the knowledge
map。It also helps assess learners'ability over time to get the
most general view of each person and classify them into tiers
based on results。Example：In the middle and at the end of the
term，there will be a test to assess the level of knowledge
acquisition。
Ex：The entrance exam for class 10 in 2021 of Ho Chi Minh City
took place on June 2 and 3. The Department of Education and
Training of Ho Chi Minh City issues the 10th grade entrance
exam in the direction of testing the candidates'ability to apply
knowledge

Rebut:There are many ways to assess students'ability through
the learning process，such as asking students thinking
questions。Instead of testing will put pressure on students，not
to mention there are some unintended things during the test
that affect the results
