We also know that student success cannot be achieved in isolation – it takes a community of support including family, friends, faculty, staff, and fellow students. Finally, we understand that each student’s path to success is unique, and so we individualize our approach to meeting each student’s needs. Whether it’s providing academic advising or connecting students with campus resources, we are here to help every student succeed.

Q.5 Highlight the light on examination reforms, test development and research.
Exams are a necessary evil. We all know that we have to go through them, but few of us actually enjoy the process. It’s stressful, time-consuming and, often, not very fair. But what if there was a way to make exams better? A way to make them more efficient and effective? Research suggests that there are ways to do just that.. We will look at how these areas are changing and how they can be improved.
Examinations in the United States
In the United States, examinations are governed by a patchwork of federal and state laws and regulations. As a result, there is no single system of examinations.
Examinations in the United States vary widely in their format, content, and purpose. Some examinations are designed to measure mastery of specific content areas, while others are designed to assess general academic skills or aptitudes. Some exams are given at the end of a course or program of study, while others are administered periodically throughout the year.
