Examination
academic context, examinations (or exams for short) are tests which aim to determine the ability of a student. Exams are usually written although some may be practical or have practical components, and vary greatly in structure, content and difficulty depending on the subject and the age group of the students under test. In some cases diploma is received by those who pass an examination. A competitive examination is an examination where applicants compete for a limited numbers of positions, as opposed to merely have to reach a certain level to pass.
