Final Exams

A final examination is a test given to students at the end of a course of study or training. Most high schools, colleges, and universities run finals exams at the end of a particular academic term. The purpose of the tests is to make a final review of the topics covered and assessment of each student's knowledge of the subject. A final is technically just a greater form of a "unit test". They have the same purpose, finals are just bigger. Prior to the examination period most students in the commonwealth have a week or so of intense revision and study known as Swotvac.In some countries and locals that hold standardised exams, it is customary for schools to administer mock examinations, with formats modelling the real exams. Often, schools will run on a modified schedule for final exams to allow students more time to do their exams.
