Research in educational psychology suggests that high-stakes exams can increase stress and test anxiety, which may negatively affect both academic performance and mental well-being. School-wide midterms and senior finals should be revoked because a student's knowledge is more accurately measured through multiple assessments completed throughout the school year, such as quizzes, projects, homework, and class participation. Studies have shown that ongoing, low-stakes assessment provides a more reliable evaluation of learning than a single comprehensive exam. Eliminating these high-pressure tests could reduce burnout, improve student well-being, and encourage consistent learning habits while maintaining rigorous academic standards through continuous assessment.
