Attitude of Students towards the Current Examination System: An Institutional-based Study

Abstract

    Only educated people can develop a nation. Educational success requires good testing. Expertise is best assessed by exams. Tests demonstrate pupil understanding. The study studied medical students' test system satisfaction and assessment method preferences. From September 2021 to March 2022, all Nowshera Medical College (NMC) students completed a cross-sectional summary questionnaire. The query followed a short teacher and test supervisor poll. A–C themes. Percentages and counts. 34% of students gave B marks, 33% gave C grades, and 61% said the method is not helping them build ideas. 82% wanted a more practical system, with 35% favouring a semester system, 26% PBL, and 22% engaging sessions. Most students support the current test system with PBL. Some suggested a quarter system.
