"Exams" is one word that causes nearly all students to have sleepless nights. What causes student to be nervous or afraid of examinations? It all begins with the history of examination; it began with ancient China where they were the 1st to implement a standardized test called the imperial examination, similar to civil servant examination nowadays, were established in the 7th century during the Sui Dynasty, and then ended in 1905 during the Qing Dynasty [Bun13]. Throughout the years, these exams had made a great impact in encouraging social mobility; as these exams are designed to select the most outstanding male candidates for government positions and realize their political aspirations [Bun13]. Together however, exams also brought about many problems, such as the rigid mindset of the intellectual [Bun13]. Thus, what is examination? According to the Oxford Dictionary, it is a formal test of a person’s knowledge or proficiency in a subject or skill. Based on that definition, the main purpose of an examination is to improve the quality of education and measure the students' ability to master certain knowledge and skill of the subject. From the results, the teachers will be able to measure the degree to which students have acquired on the subject they have taken. Many countries have their own national or public examination that is compulsory for all students to take in order to progress into the higher level. For instance, in our country of Malaysia, we have public examinations that are set-up by the ministry of education to test the students’ performance and that examination will be held simultaneously throughout the whole country every year. One example of a public examination is Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) which also known as a Malaysian Certificate of Education (MCE). MCE is said to be equivalent to O-Level [Sij14]. In Malaysia itself, all the fifth-year secondary school students, are required to take this examination that is set and examined by the Malaysian Examinations Association (Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia) in order for them to further their study or to work ("Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," n.d.). The purpose of this public examination being held every year is to be used as a benchmark for measuring the competency of the applicant for further studies or employment. Therefore, the results gained from the examination are the main criteria in selecting students to further their studies into higher learning institutions. It is assumed that from the results, it can show whether or not the student will be able to manage the class. As for the employment, the result gained from the examination will point out whether the job seeker has the skills or intelligence to handle the job. Merely with the issue of leakage in public examination papers that happen recently this year, how can we even consider the credibility of public examination can make a precise benchmark of the candidate’s ability? Einstein once failed the entrance exam to the Eidgenössische Polytechnische Schule (Swiss Federal Polytechnic School) in Zürich, Switzerland (“Albert Einstein”, 2014). Yet he manages to create the theory of relativity and quantum theory, which gave him the Nobel Prize in Physics at the age of 42 (“Albert Einstein”, 2014). From this perspective itself, it's proven that the examination is not necessarily needed to measure one’s intelligent. Based on Einstein’s case, how can as exam still be considered as a valid benchmark of a person’s intelligence if one of the most intelligent person in the world had also failed an examination? Most think that a public examination is just a stepping stone or preparation for students before going into a higher tier of education, such as college or university, and also used to assist the teacher and parents to monitor how their student / child are performing in school. Nevertheless, it is also unquestionable that examination causes many problems than benefits to whoever is involved. Although many argue that public examination should not be abolished, there are so many drawbacks of it’s existence such as the burden to the government, teacher, parents, and children. Firstly, examinations do not encourage the pursuit of knowledge and it is not an accurate way to test the students’ ability. This is because most of the students cram studying for the sake of passing the exam not because of the knowledge they will gain from learning, and mostly after the test is taken, the information that they've studied are
