Body
The good aspects of the Essay test are that the writer can explain the details of the particular subject. It is necessary to explain any topic through organizational skills in detail in an Essay. The organization is essential here.
Transition
On the other hand, A large amount of syllabus can be assessed in a short time through multiple choice. If monitoring is done properly, students will not get time for cheating in case of multiple choice, but they can get some correct numbers by guessing answers. If you have to judge a large number of students in a short time, then multiple choice will be a good option. This is because essays require a lot of time to measure student scores.
Again for essay testing, a student needs to keep a lot of information in mind about the particular subject. Because here, the details need to be explained. Besides, some rules and regulations must be followed to write the essay, such as Introduction, Body, and Conclusion have to be maintained. And you have to write an essay through organizing skills by keeping these steps correctly. Due to having so many rules and regulations, this essay test system seems complicated to a student. And we all know that when something seems complex to students, they lose interest in learning. On the other hand, multiple choice is a straightforward method for student measurement.
The biggest problem for students in essay exams is time. Some may be able to write quickly, and others may take time to write. Those who take more time to write will always have difficulty writing this Essay. And even though he can do many things, he will not be able to complete full information due to lack of time.
Conclusion
Review of main points:
- Scores of many students can be assessed in less time through multiple choice.
- A student proficient in the information or a particular topic must be able to complete the exam through multiple choice very well in time. His exam will not get a bad score due to lack of time.
Restate Thesis: MCQ is easy and less time-consuming for student assessment as it is easier for both the student and teacher and consumes less time, so this method is better than the essay.
