Abstract EN
This study aims to find out the understudy Libyan students' perceptions towards the traditional examinations as a method of assessment.
In doing so, the study employed a quantitative design with a close-ended questionnaire to obtain the data required for the study.
The data was then analyzed manually.
The main findings indicate that the study's participants perceive the current examination system as unfair, invalid, unreliable and outdated.
They also think that the current system is inadequate for assessing them as it mainly encourages students to memorize information rather than retaining it.
The study concludes with some recommendations and pedagogical implications to improve the existing assessment system in the context of the study.
