How often do you take exams?Do you enjoy taking exams? Do you think exams are important? Why?
I remember I used to take exams at least once a semester， when I was still a college student. I can’t remember how often I took exams during my junior and senior high school years， but surely， it must have been more often. I didn’t quite like taking exams back then. They often drove me to stay up late in order to prepare， which I didn’t enjoy. Now I like to be fully rested at night and wake up refreshed in the morning. Besides， I often did poorly in my exams. I felt disappointed， stressed and tired.
Exams are important， because they test what I have learned and how much I have progressed since the last assessment. They act like a mirror， which reflects my deficiencies and inspires me to make improvement. This helps guarantee my further academic progress and ensures my knowledge will be up to date.
Exams can also help motivate me to learn. When I know that an exam will be conducted soon， I will work much harder to prepare than before. This way， my academic performance is constantly under improvement and my academic level steadily increases， which I am happy to witness.
