Do you prefer multiple-choice exam or essay exam?
Writing:
There are two main types of exam that is being applied are multiple-choice and essay exam. In recent years, multiple-choice exam become more and more popular because of its conveniences, and I do share the belief that the former kind is the best approach for taking an examination.
For one reason, a multiple choice exam can assess the ability of the students more correctly than an essay one. A multiple-choice exam comprises a lot of question so that finishing the whole test require a wide knowledge. As a result, only the student who had learned carefully in the previous time would do well. On the contrary, an essay test can be dealt with by only cramming a subject likely to be asked about. Therefore the result of essay exam may be influenced by fortune factors and does not correctly evaluate the ability of students. For instance, two students cram two regions of the subject for the examination would get the results which are totally different if one had guessed right region and the other had not.
For another reason, multiple-choice exam is a good solution to avoid cheating. Since this kind of test require the students to be knowledgeable and it has a lot of questions so it put a considerable pressure on the candidates. It make them pay attention on the test and do not have time to exchange the result with others. In contrast, an essay exam often have o long time interval to perform with a few questions that it is easier for candidates to exchange during the exam.
On the other hand, the result of a multiple-choice test is not influenced by subjective views. Normal format of a multiple-choice exam is some question each with four answers to choose thus most multiple-choice test has a unique key. In consequence, anyone also afford to mark the test so it is very fair and objective to all students.
Because of these reasons above, I maintain that multiple-choice exam is the best method for taking an examination. It is also one way to improve the quality of education system. |

Because of these reasons(which are mentioned)above, |
(1)
my suggestion: If I'm not mistaken you meant that?
Let's consider two students who have focused on two different parts of a subject, which will be asked to answer in the exam, to study more, for instance. their scores would probably different because there are depend entirely on whether the questions are from that parts they have studied perfectly or not.
Thank you.
let me know if you have any suggestion.
Good luck.

I agree with you Kedinvent! But it's just his personal viewpoint.
Could it be the claim of examiner to scorn it after evaluating?

Welcome 
However, I made some mistakes(1or2),(maybe not trivial), in my first posted comment.
some of your sentences were vague, with some grammatical problems.
keep writing.
