Assessment of the Sudan school Certificate English Examinations

It is easy to teach a unit or a course,but it is important to know how successful that unit or course is. Examinations can help us to decide such a thing. Examinations can help the learner to adjust his study strategies to improve his learning.They can help the teacher to try new methods of teaching, if the old ones did not work.Examinations as well, can tell the syllabus designer of the success or failure of his coure. Examinations among other things, are the tools of quality control and a mirror which can reflect the success of our educational programmes and achieving our national educational goals. The Sudan school Certificate Examination is a high-stake examaination,on which very serious decisions are made; therefore,a sound judgment of the students' performance is needed.
