Content: Teachers are stimulated through giving tests as they enable them to clarify and refine the course objectives within the academic year. Once this is done, teachers will be able to plan properly to meet the needs of various types of pupils. Testing in schools helps the school authorities to cover up with evaluation and assessment tools, which will add value to the teaching and learning process. Our pupils must be reminded that tests donâ€™t exist to torture them or give them extra work to do, but to help them improve. Teachers want to know if the pupils are learning the skills and knowledge they should be learning and which ones are having trouble. Every parent wants their children to leave school with the ability to earn a living, be good citizens and one day, run the world. Therefore, schools have to prove they are doing a good job of educating their pupils, and one way of doing this is to have them take tests periodically. It is, therefore, important for teachers and parents to inculcate the love and importance of tests in their pupils if examination results are to improve at all levels of the education system in Zambia.
