Exams are back! 

Most high school students plan on attending some type of post secondary education, where they will encounter exams. Even further down the road, many licensing exams are primarily comprehensive exams that cover all subject material, which is similar to the high school final exam format. 

Exams allow students to develope the foundational study skills and habits for these types of cumulative exams, setting them up for success in their future endeavors. Students who did not have the experience of preparing and writing final exams typically struggle with post secondary exams. 

Even if a student decides to end their formal education after high school, finals build crucial skills like time management and helps students develop their own coping strategies in dealing with life's stressors.
