Default Re: Are examinations a true test of knowledge?

It is false that it is not possible to check each applicant. The resume and cover letter are the first hurdle that the applicant needs to overcome. If there are many applicants who seem qualified, group interviews are possible. These kinds of interviews are especially valuable for determining speaking and listening skill.

In the long term, it is more costly in both time and money to hire people who are not qualified for their jobs.

No test will be accurate if students intensively study for that test, although some tests are easier to game than others.
