Essay Questions in the National Examination

News about the 2018 National Examination for elementary, middle and high school students
attracted the attention of many people in Indonesia. Most people consider it a “disaster” for students
because it will be more difficult for them to answer the questions in the exam. I think it's not only a
disaster for the students, but also for the teachers.

First of all, the essay-type exam is not efficient to administer widely. Students from different places
may have different abilities in explaining their answers in the exam questions. To carry out this type
of assessment, the teacher or the person making the questions need to prepare several possible
answers that may arise during the test which makes it inefficient compared to the multiple choice
questions.

Second, the type of essay test is included in the subjective test. Teachers or anyone checking
students' answers will have difficulty determining whether an answer is right or wrong, because they
will involve their personal assessment of each answer.

Finally, students will face more stress before, during and after the test if the test form is in the form
of an essay because they will not be able to make predictions based on answers when they do not
know the answer to an item. If the test questions are multiple choice, I believe students will feel
comfortable taking the test because they still have a chance to earn points even if they don't know
the answers to some questions by choosing one of the four possible answers.

6. Analysis

a). General structure: 1). Introduction: in the first paragraph

2). Body of argument: in paragraphs 2 and 3

3). Conclusion: in the last paragraph


b). Using Abstract nouns, action verbs, Temporal Connectives, Modal Auxiliaries, Reasoning
Connectives, Simple Present Tense,
