Explanation

An exam is a test to check what someone knows or how well they can do something. Students often take exams in school or college to show their learning. Exams can be written, oral, or practical. People can also have exams at work, like driving exams or medical exams, to see if they are ready or qualified. Exams should be based on a person’s own ability and interests, because this helps them prepare for what they like and can do best. Preparing well for exams helps students understand and improve themselves.
