I worked all year to keep my A in a Spanish class. Took the exam, didn't do well, and my grade dropped to a B. ALL YEAR I kept that A by working hard and I studied hard for the exam but when you ask a student who is not a native speaker to regurgitate nearly 10 different verb tenses that are almost identical it's unfair. My grade on the final should not affect my overall grade so much that it moved my down an entire letter grade that I worked to hard to keep all year.

I've been always stressed when it comes to exam time. Exams are nothing but trying to remember information from the beginning of the year. That's not real test taking. Its just reguritation of crammed information we're going to forget as soon as its over, hence why the next class up is so hard to get through. I think we should actually be applying what we do in class to the real world at least. And if the district doesn't approve, can we at least change the exam style? Like can we read about relevant sistuations in our English text books and not old stories that do not effect us? Can we learn about what is happening in our world today and not what happened ten/twenty years ago? That's my oppion on it all.

The people that make these exams obviously think the kids are super brains. They keep making it harder when is should be the same every year

My grades are good throughout the year, I keep A's or B's in all my classes. When it's time for exams I become stressed and eventually when we take them they drop my grade down. I work my but off to get good grades so why should I have to take an exam to show what my grade already shows.

I'm a pretty good student. I keep up with my grades and keep an A in classes the whole semester. When exam time comes around, it'll drop my grade down too many points. I work so hard in those clases and it still seems to not be enough.

I strongly feel that exempting exams would have a positive impact on our schools. As a high school student my stress is through the roof on a normal week day, when you add exams at the end of the year it will push the students almost to a breaking point. Cramming 4 exams into 2 days is not how this should be. Some students have such high grade in their classes that if they don't score higher than a 90 on the exam their very hard worked for A will drop tremendously. I believe that exams shouldn't be required of students that have an A in whatever class the test is in or a higher GPA. This would be a great insensitive for students to work harder and get better grades. My knowledge should NOT be judged off of a test.

Personally, I have many difficulties taking exams. I stress about them, then I get over-anxious and break down. I know that I understand the content, and my grades show it.

this is good i mean i feel like kids will want to work harder for a good GPA year round and learn more because of there effort.
This is a very good idea.
Down with exam weeks
