for kids of younger classes?
hell yeah!
we used to have exams from grade1.......its good to have exams since it gives u practice in endurance andalso tests all ur knowledge.........
but a negative point may be that there must b constant assessment of children or they realy dnt learn much and just learn by rote for final exams.
a combination of these should b taken..........oral quizzes class tests projects etc and then a final exam....thats the way to bring out the best in a child since then he tries hard to do well ALL YEAR ROUND :)
i hate A level...........

It was from grade 5 onwards for me :D

And I guess it's a good time to start....if kids in grade one have those written tests....they'd end up being nerds by grade 4.....kids need to enjoy...so interactive quizzes and games should be there for kids in grade one uptil grade 4...after which monthly tests should be conducted from grade five onwards....with major tests every mid...

I always remember saying there shouldn't have been exams before I went for one :D

But I think it's important...some of my frnds...actually most would disagree

i dunno
i dont exactly agree or disagree

yeah, there should be exams to force the kids to study

but, if i owned a school, i wouldnt let kids till grade 4 take any exams
i started my exams from grade 6
they barely want to go to school
& they should be tortured too ??
exams would make them hate the schools guts

I kinda share a similar view....i don't think there should be any exam for children below grade 4
After that...yes of course

ofcourse there should be. Why should my batchmates and I suffer alone with exams. The coming generation should experience the torture we faced.

yes there should be .. im with giving kids exams ..

without exams the teacher will not know the weaknesses and strenghths of the student .. whatever age the student is .. the teacher needs to know where he/she struggles so they can give more help ..

exams all the wayy!

(but maybe change CIE examiners :P)

many hate exams.  15-19 year old teens hate it too!
6-7 year old kids dont have exams in my school. They have class tests. They arent pressurized much. Many enjoy it too. Its no harm.
