Chosen Topic: We should scrap the CCTs.

Many pupils loathe the ccts. Even some teachers loathe them too, but is the CCT a really good assessment of one's capability? The term mugging is well known to every student, just doing some last minute memorizing could already assure you of passing your paper. But there really is a difference between memorizing something and understanding how it really works. The Class Common Tests only tests students on knowledge learnt through a lesson or a textbook, but do not excess on thier understanding and application of the knowledge imparted to them.

Many students loathe the tests because studying is required and also the fear of failing, this fear lasts throughout the test, and can affect ones results too. Thus, this CCT is not a really good gage for a pupil's ability as results do not necessarily show the true potential of the student.

Furthermore, with the huge workload and pressure from different curricular activities, having to prepare for the CCTs just adds to the numerous burdens we already have trouble facing. I do agree to some extent that CCTs regulates a pupil's academic progress, and keeps them prepared for the EOYs, but i strongly belive that CCTs should be slightly "scraped" and making them less frequent and having more performance task to share the weightage of marks.
