🥳Our experience of the video 

    In the past, the U.S. considered exam grade to-be   the most important scale of a student. However, there are some problems observed by and by. On the one hand, students in these exam-oriented societies have to face huge pressure. This makes some students have to cheat in the exam to maintain their test grades. On the other hand, research shows that scores in tests can’t represent the performance in college. On the contrary, the high school score means the hard work of learning, but the score of a test can be high by using some skill of exam. To cope with this problem, the authorities are trying to reduce the rate of exam scores in going on advanced study. For example, Finland, a Northern European country, takes school performance to the main standard of learning. Students there only seldom have an exam which is one times per year.
